Maybe you’re hoping to trim down a little ahead of all the heavy holiday meals ahead. Maybe you’re trying to find a fresh new way to make your workouts fun again. Or maybe you’re in need of a truly spectacular gift for someone important in your life. If you nodded yes to any or all of the previous sentences, the Ergatta Rower—a revolutionary, GQ Fitness Award-winning rowing machine—is exactly what you’re looking for. And right now, when you enter the promo code “GQ200” at checkout, you’ll score a whopping $200 off the Ergatta rowing machine, and they’ll toss in a couple of extras for free: a Polar heart rate monitor (valued at $100) and a Hyperice Hypervolt GO massage gun (valued at $200).
What makes the Ergatta such a fitness game-changer? Unlike the Peloton with its instructor-led classes, the Ergatta uses a variety of programs, competitions, and games that are conscientiously designed around rowers and their fitness levels. The Ergatta relies on its own calibration system to personalize its programs, and its workouts are divided into four categories: goal-based Push Programs, interval workouts that test speed and cadence, race workouts, and open rows. Each type of workout makes it easy to stay dialed in, from the gamified interval rows geared toward hitting personal bests to the competitive head-to-head races with other members. As rowers clock more time on the Ergatta, its programs dynamically adapt to new PRs and splits, so the workouts always feel challenging and engaging.
And for equipment that’s going to take up floor space, the cherry-wood frame is easy on the eyes. It’s light enough to maneuver with one hand, and when stowed, it takes up about as much room as a coffee table. It’s also mercifully quiet and peaceful to use. There’s no music, no spiritual jeremiads, no final turn of the dial—just you, your splits, and the rhythmic hum of the water in the tank.
Convinced yet? Great. Because that deal we mentioned up to—$200 off the Ergatta rowing machine, plus a free Polar heart rate monitor and Hyperice Hypervolt GO, when you enter code “GQ200”—isn’t going to last long. And if you order it today, November 15, delivery in time for the holidays is guaranteed—those pesky supply chain issues be damned. So what are you waiting for? Now is the perfect time to reenergize your fitness routine, and the Ergatta rower is the perfect way to do just that. See you on the water.
