If you've been shopping for an air rower, you've probably come across the Concept2—the gold standard for rowing machines. But with a price tag approaching twice the cost of the YOSUDA Air Rower, is it really worth spending the extra money?
In this video, I unbox, test, and review the YOSUDA Air Rower to see how it performs in real-world workouts and whether it can compete with premium air rowers at a much lower price.
In this full review, I cover:
✅ Unboxing & assembly
✅ Build quality and design
✅ Resistance and rowing feel

✅ Pros & cons

Today we're going to be reviewing Fed Fitness Yosuda R2 Rower
and you guys know how we do it.
We unbox, we test, and we give reviews on products
that you can put in your garage or your home.
Now this is the Fed Fitness Yosuda R2 Rower
or rowing machine and it really operates just like
those rowers you see in your gym
and wherever you've seen a professional grade rower, this is
it. Now let's talk unboxing and assembly first.
Unboxing, super simple, super easy to do. It's
well packaged and you know you're going to get it
in one piece without any scrapes without any
scratches everything well preserved
so nothing gets dented nothing gets scratched and you get
a mint product really appreciate that whenever i get a product
and we do unboxings assembly very
quick very easy literally took me five minutes
to put this thing together four screws on the first
part four screws on the second part
and that's it you throw the two batteries in there and this
thing is ready to go now the great part about
this machine is that it is an air rower so you don't
need a power source in order to operate it even
if your batteries die on the screen you can still
work this and use it at its full potential
for a full rowing workout the seat is comfortable it is
not too soft not too hard
so it's got your standard seat built in so you can do those long rowing
sessions without having a sore butt
or without getting sore from sitting for extended periods
of time as you saw this thing splits into two
so it's very easy to assemble once it's done
and it's very easy to disassemble into two pieces for storage
and for saving of space.
Perfect for garage gyms, for your home space.
You don't have to have this full length of space taken up
when you're not using the machine.
It's not heavy at all.
It's very easy to maneuver and move around.
And it operates just like a professional grade rower.
You've got the different air resistances
that goes from one all the way up to 10.
So set it to the level that you're
at and get into that rowing cardio workout.
You've got the adjustable foot straps
that basically adjust for the size of your foot
and it lets you quickly tighten them
and loosen them to get in and out and you can see how fast
i can literally get my feet in and strapped
and ready to go and then same thing when i'm done
pop them out and you're ready to go they've got
the ergonomic handle here right that's built
for those long rowing sessions
and it feels good in your hand you've got just enough grip on this
to hold it for long rowing sessions not where
your hand's going to get too sweaty and slip off of it
if you are one of those people
who get sweaty hands you've got that chain right standard chain
So this is built to last.
These chains are built for long rowing sessions, for repeated rowing
sessions, and it is going to last you a very long time.
You've got the screen that tells you
everything about your rowing workouts.
You can keep track of the distance. So you're not left
guessing how long you've been rowing or how far you've rowed.
Overall, I give this rower a solid
10 out of 10. I mean, I have nothing to say.
It delivers everything that a professional grade
air rower that everyone has maybe seen in their gyms
is going to deliver. It is not falling short
on anything. Nothing about this machine that I've seen is a negative.
The only thing is you would
have to use it for a while to see if this seat starts to,
you know, degrade or anything like
that, or if the chain lasts. That's one
of those things where you would have to test this thing
over a long period of time
and see how long this machine actually lasts you. Now I have reviewed a
lot of rowers and just from testing it and using it for a few times,
I can already tell that this
is a professional grade rower.
This is going to give you the same as one of those concept twos
that you see as the standard as the gold standard
in most gyms this is going to match that if not
exceeded check them out this is fed fitness they sent me
this rower to test out to review and i
love it i'm going to have them in the description all the links
