Holofit Virtual Reality Rowing App Review - Taster 2022

A taster of my longer review of the Holofit Virtual Reality app using my Concept2 rowing machine and an Oculus Quest.

This should give you a sense of what Holofit is like when used with a rowing machine. If you want to see the full review, where I talk more about the features and what it's like rowing with the Meta Quest (formerly Oculus Quest) then please go here:

I've also made a review of the cycling option of Holofit. To check that out, go here:

🔵🔵🔵 SHOWING SUPPORT FOR ROWALONG 🔵🔵🔵

More views lead to more views - and I'm really just interested in getting more people on board to RowAlong with. (Make sure to click the notification bell to be alerted when I upload new workouts)

That said, I know that there are some people who want to show their support financially, and as much as I've shied away from giving out links to this before - I've been advised to at least provide the links - to stop someone spoofing me!! So....

But seriously - just keep watching, that's all I ask!!

This workout is provided as usual WITHOUT MUSIC. If you want music, why not load up another YouTube tab, or maybe Soundcloud and pick your own tunes. As always, follow me for stroke rate. And I'll keep you company for the row with training tips, technique tips, and my usual general waffle.

See you in the next video.

ℹℹℹℹℹℹ - 2K training paces are based on your current best performance to row 2000m. Set your monitor to 2000m and row it as fast as you can. When you're finished either look at the memory screen for that row, and note the Average /500m pace - or just divide your time by 4 to find that out.

For instance - if you rowed your 2000m in 8:20 - the average pace for 500m is 2:05. It doesn't matter if you started at 1:50 and then slowed down to 2:20 by the end - your average across the whole row is 2:05.

So when I give a pace guide saying "2K + 18 seconds" - that means that you take your 2K time, and add 18 seconds to it (in the above example, 2:05 + 18 = 2:23 pace.) Just be sure to set your monitor so it displays your /500m pace so you can stay on target.

Every time you think you're getting faster, rather than just arbitrarily changing the pace guide - do another 2000m test to find your current 2K average time - and then work from that. ℹℹℹℹℹℹ

The opening line is 'The graphics are amazing'... then he shows a crocodile that looks right out 1996 with about 20 total vertices... What is it with VR and terrible graphics?

Thanks, I've been meaning to give it a try, will do that this week!

I tried this today on my brand new concept 2, but you can't connect ergdata at the same time and if you connect afterwards it doesn't sync the row to my log book. What am I missing?

I love my WaterRower with Holofit but my son's a real rower (crew) and got a Concept 2 as all crew members will. Putting his needs first due to lack of space, I'll now have to sell my WaterRower 😢. But I'm REALLY going to miss hearing the sound of water when using Holofit in their rowing worlds. Does anyone know if Holofit adds water rowing sounds to cover up that damned sound of the fan from the Concept 2? Thanks!

terrible graphics, not realistic in the slightest unless you live in cartoonland
