Rowing is one of the more intense, strenuous, and rewarding exercises out there, and to make the experience more bearable and fun, a new company called Aviron created an erg with built-in games.

The connected rower company, which recently raised $18.5 million in funding, has announced that not only does it have more built-in games than, say, Peloton--which just added games--but it is now the first at-home connected rowing machine with integrated apps for Netflix and Disney+. More are coming in Q2.

As for the games, Aviron has 14 "true" video games and hundreds of other "gamified" programs. Some of these involve fighting zombies, escaping from the Kraken, and blasting bugs, among other things. The games are not just about physical exertion, either, as users need to be strategic as well in some.
