Aquil Abdullah, Olympian, First African American Male Team USA Rowing and Hydrow



Rick is joined by former Olympic rower, Aquil Abdullah this week.

He was appearing at CES 2022 at the Hydrow booth.

Hydrow, the leading and only at-home connected rower that streams the live on-water experience of rowing live to users home had a great area at CES this year.

The booth was equipped with the brands’ category-leading rowers built on patented electromagnetic tech that auto adjusts 240 times per second to mimic the feeling of being on the water. It’s here where I had the opportunity to talk with Abdullah. We talked his career, the Olympics, Hydrow and what he is up to now!

With 3,000+ live and on-demand workouts, you will travel to breathtaking waterways around the world in cities like London, Miami, Boston, Lucerne and more. See firsthand what workouts can look like outside of studio walls.

It’s good for the body and mind. There’s no pounding or jerking. No whirling, bouncing, or spinning furiously… It’s smooth, rhythmic, poetic. The fluid movement of rowing pushes the body and releases the mind. This is a machine that moves with you. You adapt, change, grow… and it grows along with you.

A great talk with Aquil, truly an inspiration all!
