Not OP, just an admirer, but:

1. If you have the cheese for a WaterRower, it’s quiet enough that you can haul ass in your studio apartment for 90 minutes without bothering your neighbors
2. Rowing burns a fabulous amount of calories with the smallest possible footprint - you take up a rectangle of space for the entirety of your workout and at the end you’re still exhausted
3. Full-body workout baby
4. Naturally builds a functional-looking body, not too grotesque, very 3D
5. As long as you keep it clean, no one will notice you’re not using your rowing machine - it’s pretty obvious when you’re not using the 32 kg kettlebell in the corner
6. There are cool apps out there for rowing machines, but without the prohibitive expense of Peloton

Oh man you should get a rowing machine, I got one for Christmas and have used it for like 180 days so far and let me tell you Im getting absolutely shredded. My beer belly has turned into shoulder and chest and bicep muscle and is now totally gone. My torso is like an inverted triangle, my lats are poppin, i got like dimples in my shoulders now above my armpit, shit's wild.

The key is doing it like every day and turning up the resistance if it gets easy. Also stretch a lot and look up what you're doing so you don't hurt yourself
