Rogue Reviews – Echo Rower

Published: December 29, 2025

Hybrid elite athlete Stephen has trained on the Assault and Concept2, but after six months and hundreds of thousands of meters, the Rogue Echo Rower has become his daily driver. True to Rogue Fitness, it feels overbuilt in the best way—rock-solid frame, premium construction, and built to handle everyday training without compromise.

What sets it apart are the details. Heavy-duty wheels make it easy to move from gym to backyard to field. A built-in phone holder fits any device, and firmware updates happen wirelessly through your Rogue account—no cords, no USBs. For bigger athletes, the foot straps and footplates are secure and durable, and a simple seat clip keeps the seat from sliding during transport.

Performance matches the build. Stepgen uses the Echo Rower daily for warm-ups, VO₂ max work, and Norwegian 4×4 intervals, crediting it with real conditioning gains and a recent PR at DEKA Atlas. Low maintenance, highly portable, and backed by Rogue’s customer service, it’s a rower built for athletes who train hard and expect their equipment to keep up.
