Although that crazy yet wonderfully busy shopping time of the year is quickly approaching, Amazon decided to go live with its Black Friday sale early this year. Fitness is a huge focus of this year's sale—even Bowflex dropped the price of its legendary dumbbells for the first time in over a year. But if there's one piece of equipment to target, it's an indoor rowing machine, and one of Amazon's best is locked in with a discount of over $500 off its normal price, and it even ships for free.
Echelon’s Row Indoor Rowing Machine is now available for only $465 on Amazon—a massive 53% discount on its normal price of $1,000. Even with only a few hundred reviews, this rower has amassed nearly 200 five-star ratings, and it's steadily climbing its way up the list of Amazon's bestselling rowing machines.

Rowers offer some of the most comprehensive total body workouts around. There’s just one issue: most rowing machines utilize air resistance and sound like a mini bush plane taking off. But Echelon’s Row magnetic rower delivers all the resistance you could need with 32 varying levels while operating at a whisper-quiet noise level. It packs a mighty punch but is still very compact at roughly 100 pounds and less than 85 inches, and it even folds up to save you additional space. It also has caster wheels that make it easily moveable throughout your home. Surprisingly, even with its compact design, its maxed-out weight is 300 pounds, and according to reviewers on the tall side (over 6 feet), it’s amply sized for the vertically gifted, too.
“This rower is sturdy, silent, and gives a good workout,” commented one buyer. “It folds and moves easily, and unfolding it and locking it is also easy. I am happy with my purchase and have been using it a few times a week for a couple of months. It has really helped my running also...so that’s a bonus.”

Another shopper quite literally loved their purchase, too. “This is love,” they said. “This machine was relatively simple to set up…The machine is super quiet, and the seat glides perfectly on the rail. The device holder fits my iPad perfectly. It folds up to a size I’m pleased with since it lives in a small room. I'm so glad I purchased this.“
With Echelon’s Row now marked down to well under $500, machines are starting to sell fast. If you want a stealth-mode rower, this is the one for you. Grab yours before the sale ends on Dec. 2 or before they sell out.
