Powering the Peloton Row
The Peloton Row has four power modes:

The Row will receive software updates routinely while in sleep mode. For more information about sleep mode, click here.

Holding the Handle
While using your Peloton Row, it’s important to hold the handle properly. Holding the handle properly helps you get the most out of your workout and avoid injuries.
To hold the handle properly:
- Position your hands as wide as you can on the handle. Your pinkies should be at the very edges.
- Hold the handle loosely in your fingers. Your thumbs should wrap underneath the handles and your palms should not touch it.
Please note:
- Gripping the handle tightly or improperly can lead to blisters and can strain your joints.
- If you can’t wiggle your fingers while you’re holding the handle, you might be holding it too tightly.
- Keep your wrists horizontal throughout the stroke, forming a straight line with the handle strap. The handle should rotate smoothly under your fingers throughout the stroke.
Holding the handle properly takes practice. You’ll get it! Just remember to avoid over-gripping and pay attention to your grip during your drills and warmups. We look forward to seeing you on the Leaderboard!
