Description

Designed in the mid '80s by Yale and US National Team Rower John Duke who formed WATERROWER Inc in 1988 in Rhode Island, in the North Eastern United States. Today our Americas Headquarters continues to be based in Rhode Island, in the small coastal town of Warren WATERROWER's wooden models are handcrafted from a selection of the world's finest sustainable hardwoods. An American Fitness Brand, our vast assortment of rowing machines, of which all are manufactured in the quintessential coastal New England town of Warren, Rhode Island, can be found within expansive health clubs, luxury hotels and boutique fitness studios throughout the world. WATERROWER Inc. is a proud supporter of our local Rhode Island community The WATERROWER's unique WaterFlywheel has been designed to reproduce the precise physical dynamics of a moving boat; the surest way to replicate the physiological benefits and aesthetic pleasure of rowing. Like rowing, the WaterFlywheel does not apply resistance to you, you apply work to it; you are the engine. By the "rule of cubes", the amount of work you apply dictates the speed at which you row. From a gentle paddle to a “give it your all” workout, you are in control When rowing, remember, you are the engine. The amount of work you do is dependent on you, not on the machine. The more work you do, the more resistance/drag you can overcome, and the faster you move. The speed which you can maintain is dependent on the level of work you can maintain and, again, is limited only by you. Row harder and you go faster, row easier and you go slower. This is the self paced nature of the WATERROWER and Rowing and allows Anyone to row regardless of age or size of level of fitness. The WATERROWER's unique WaterFlywheel design uses a specially formed paddle to cup the moving water, reduce slippage and produce an unrivaled simulation of the benefits of rowing. There is no jerkiness or jarring which is often associated with conventional mechanical rowing machines making the exercise unpleasant; only smooth even load, kind to the body, and relaxing to the mind. There is no "solid" connection between user and the moving water, simply an immersed paddle which dampens out any detrimental mechanical feel Providing some "give" is essential for accommodating bad or developing technique, lessening the risk of injury. A uniform stroke is essential to spreading the work more evenly over the muscle groups, working the muscle groups in proportion to their strength, optimizing exercise benefit while reducing risk of injury. The S4 Monitor measures the speed of the paddle using an infrared detector mounted on the underside of the top deck and a castellated Sensor Pickup mounted on the inner clutch bush. The motion of the paddle revolved the sensor disk which in turn triggers the infrared detector. S4 BLE also provides a built-in Bluetooth feature, allowing for seamless connection to our portfolio of popular indoor rowing apps, such as WATERROWER CONNECT and CITYROW. A comfortable seat for rowing is essential for optimizing performance and ensuring a satisfying and effective workout experience. Provides proper cushioning and contouring, while minimizing pressure points and promotes healthy posture. Helps keep your focus on generating powerful and efficient strokes. Wheels for easing the movement of the machine provide an efficient solution to transporting the rower. These wheels are designed to enhance mobility and maneuverability in various settings, making it effortless to reposition and store without the need for excessive manual effort or additional equipment

exceeding expectations
Color: Walnut
I wanted something basic, something well built, and a rower that didn't drag me into an ecosystem of never ending expenses. I don't want a 15 inch touch screen that can't do anything more than regurgitate the content of rowing programs. Doesn't anyone think a simple HDMI cable to occasionally play a movie would be a good idea on those other expensive rowers? This rower is exceptionally well made. It is relatively easy to setup. It's easy to store and move around my home gym. It's smooth and consistent in operation. It looks like well made furniture. Yes, the program/computer that comes with is very basic. But it does EXACTLY what I need it to do and doesn't tie me into monthly fees to be guided in my exercise routine. I bought a very stable but inexpensive phone/tablet holder to mount on the frame and now I can easily watch any content I want while using this rock solid rower and I get the approximate feel of rowing through water but in a design that is simple, durable, and won't suffer from maintenance when computers, magnets, screens, or other mechanisms eventually wear out. Simple is also elegant, and in this case, beautiful. The resistance variability is the only thing I wish was easier to manage. Once filled with water, it's a small ordeal to add or remove water to vary the resistance and thus, impossible during the workout. However, the resistance at max water is significant and it's easy to work your way into a routine that is slower and approximate until you're ready to take it up a level or two or three. It really is the perfect compromise of form, function, and cost. Highly recommended. ... show more

The Best Piece of Exercise Equipment We Bought
Color: Oak
We were skeptical about this piece of equipment. But after reading some reviews, we decided to take the plunge. So glad we did. We are more than pleased with this piece of equipment. Especially since as former marathoners and now old-timers, this machine really helps use re-gain the mobility and flexibility we lost over the years. We love that we can both use the machine without changing any attributes, since it's water resistance based. What we also love is the aesthetics -- the natural wood really lends to a focus furniture piece rather than a typical exercise machine. Hubby is a double hip replacement subject so this machine really has done wonders for his mobility. He's not walking around like a zombie and has been touting it's virtues. Granted, he has'nt been able to go more than 5 min. on the machine yet, but so far it's been the best for aerobic exercise. The assembly was a bit of a challenge. More so since hubby is more illustration driven than written instruction driven. But the two of us managed to construct an awesome piece of equipment with the help of a rubber mallet (we had issues with the placement of the foot rest.) The S4 monitor that comes with the unit does a decent job of tracking your stats. But if you are looking for a challenge, you probably need to subscribe to a service. Granted, I loved the stats that the waterpower provides, but we'll probably need to subscribe to a service to get the most out of the machine. If you're looking for a functional, yet aesthetic rower/exercise machine, the Waterrower in my opinion is the best option out there. ... show more

High quality rowing machine
Color: Vintage Oak
We decided to order this rowing machine after seeing it at a family member’s home. My husband was concerned about not being as strong and in the shape he used to be so he wanted to try this. I was impressed with all the choices of wood this rower came on. After ordering it arrived quickly. My husband got it assembled in about 45 minutes and has used it religiously every day. I use it as well, not as much as he does since I get other excercise, but so far I am very impressed. And the company has great customer service. We had some questions before ordering and they were very helpful and friendly. This rower is well worth the money. It appears to be well made and I expect it to last quite a while. ... show more

Great value, looks good and works well after 5 years
Color: Walnut
Approaching 5 years with this machine and haven’t had a problem with it. Works well, looks great in any room and worth every penny. I noticed it got more expensive since I purchased it in 2021. Highly recommend this for a complete, low impact workout. I purchased the walnut and glad I spent a little extra fo this model. ... show more

Elegant, quiet and extremely solid
I'm a soon-to-be 60 ex-jock that used to run and use weights/machines to stay fit. A demanding job and a bum knee rendered that exercise regimen unsustainable which led to a 35-lb weight gain over the last 3 years. Elliptical machines used to be my favorite because of their low impact but they are ugly and impractical to move around the home if you buy one that's worth buying. I've been considering a rower for about 18 months but never really researched it heavily until I watched House of Cards and realized that, like Frank, I needed to get into shape and better health. I purchased the WaterRower Classic. Putting it together was quite straightforward but I had a challenge with the first piece that serves as a brace and spacer at the end of the rails. The holes/screws were just a bit out of alignment. It took about 15 to 20 minutes to get them to align so that I could tighten it down. The rest was a breeze. The instructions are quite sufficient and it's not very complex. My first use reassured me that this was an exercise that I could see becoming a habit. I awaken between 4 and 5 AM every day. I spend two hours usually doing computer work. The WaterRower is so silent that I can use it when I awaken without awakening every living thing in the house. It's comforting swooshing sound (not at all like the mechanical sound of the rower on House of Cards) does not awaken others and provides a mellow white noise in the morning. Of course, being new to me, I don't yet have the stamina to use it for more than five minutes at a time. That will change, I'm sure. It is smooth, quite and solid as a rock. Nothing seems cheap about it - given what I paid I don't know how anything could be cheap on it. I've read reviews about the foot rests being flimsy - I believe that's a design feature that they flex. Nothing seems cheap. As far as the quality of the workout you get: like any workout you get what you put into it but I assure you, even low intensity use is taxing if done for an extended period of time. You feel it working everything but only after you finish and get up to find muscle groups pleasantly stressed. For me - this is the perfect form of exercise. If anything changes with the quality or durability of this WaterRower, I will update my review. I plan to update this periodically so you know it works. ... show more

It's a winner, better than I had hoped.
Awesome!!! This machine went together in about 40 minutes, filling the water was the most strenuous task, I found using a pitcher and a funnel worked for me, 5 trips to the tub. How the machine looks and functions, amazing, I love it. I have arthritis, herniation and a number of physical issues that has stopped me dead in my tracks with every exercise I have tried, bike was hard on my knees, walking is OK for a bit but I cant do enough walking to do anything of measurable value. I was desperate to get some exercise. I chose a rower because it was the most promising option available with my conditions. I chose the WaterRower and am glad I did, the appeal off the water resistance was a plus and the looks that are available to go with your home decor was important, the wood used is done without deforestation, that's a plus. Other reviews were very positive. The one I purchased was the classic in Black Walnut, it best matched my bedroom decor and it looks great I am very pleased with the aesthetic value. Once I got it together I jumped on for some exercise, wow!, smooth as butter and after only five minutes I could feel the work that was going into my problem area love handles and all with no pain to my joints. This rower is not going to be a problem for most anyone to use it is very easy to row, I was surprised and pleased. Depending on how you do it you can get more or less out of the upper body, I will be reviewing the correct rowing method to better my rowing technique asap. ... show more

The rower is great, really nice to use, and great exercise. Unfortunately the left track came damaged, a small dent as can be seen in the photos.

Wonderful engineering
Color: Walnut
I am very pleased with my WaterRower. It came early (before the expected delivery date) and was fairly easy to assemble. I’ve been using it for about a month. The action is very smooth. It is the closest machine I know of that gives a full-body workout. The electronic monitor is comprehensive; one can program it in many ways. It is attractive (I got the walnut). It was expensive but for me is very good value for money. Finally, it is very easy to store upright and when stored takes up very little room. Highly recommended. ... show more
