WaterRower

WaterRower rowing machine - rowing with water

Basically, this popular rowing machine works like any other - at least as far as the movement sequence during training is concerned. However, the WaterRower still differs considerably from other rowing machines. Not only does it lack the otherwise characteristic arm stabilisers, which imitate the two oars of a real rowing boat. Depending on the model, this special rowing machine is characterised on the one hand by the use of high-quality wood, as rowers know it from their boats. On the other hand, the WaterRower is probably the only device in its category to generate the resistance you work against during training from real water.

What is a WaterRower?

This high-quality indoor rowing machine was invented by American rower John Duke. Depending on the model, it is made of fine wood or stainless steel and offers you a more authentic rowing experience than probably any other piece of equipment. When training with this device, you row against real water resistance: You use your strength to move an oar in a tank full of water. You can easily control the level of resistance with the amount of force you apply. The simple but ingenious technology in an elegant design makes this rowing machine a real favourite in terms of value for money.

This simple but ingenious technology is probably also the reason why this machine is finding its way into more and more basements and fitness centres. Thanks to the authentic water resistance, the dynamic power development is closer to real rowing on open water than any other rowing machine. With an ergonomically shaped water paddle that rotates in the machine's patented water tank, this unique rowing machine maximises water consumption. The resistance therefore does not need to be set separately. You simply use your own strength to determine how hard you fight against the water resistance and the inertia of the mass.

Which WaterRower models are available?

The popular rowing machine with real water is available in many versions. The WaterRower Oak, WaterRower Ash, Shadow or Walnut models, as well as the model made from cherry wood, are special training machines that will enhance any living room thanks to their elegant design. However, the versions made of plain stainless steel (with S4 power monitor) or aluminium instead of wood also impress with their attractive design. Depending on the specification, individual models are also equipped with special accessories. In contrast to the WaterRower A1, the WaterRower M1 and WaterRower S4, for example, come with the S4 performance monitor. The S4 monitor was specially developed for performance training on the rowing machine. It displays training parameters such as distance, watts, stroke rate, total distance and heart rate (can optionally be used with a Polar receiver). You can also connect the S4 Monitor to a PC to use it with the free We-Row software.

Which app can I use with the WaterRower?

You can of course use the rowing machine with your favourite fitness app to increase your fitness if you want to record vital data such as heart rate and calorie consumption during training. My-NOHrD web apps are particularly popular, however, as they allow you to train interactively with the water rowing machine. You can put together your own workouts from hundreds of exercises or book a trainer to put together your workouts for you. The rowing machine is supplied with a PC connection cable especially for this purpose. This allows you to follow how your training is going on the monitor.

What WaterRower accessories are available?

In addition to a holder for your laptop and the WaterRower smartphone and tablet holder to accompany your training with an app or web application such as We-Row. You can also purchase the heart rate technology set for more precise recording of your heart rate during training. Additional accessories such as softer rowing handles or an ergonomic seat cushion for the sled, which sits on a monorail, make your workout more comfortable.
