Make any erg smarter.
Most rowing machines don't talk to anything. A budget erg plus rowerM8 becomes a connected training tool — real stroke data, real progress, and a crew to row with. No new machine required.
Built for indoor rowing machines first. On-water rowing may follow later.
How it works
Three steps. Then just row.
