WaterRower Oak Rowing Machine for Home & Gym Use

WaterRower, an American Fitness Brand, was founded in 1988 in the small coastal town of Warren, Rhode Island, in the northeastern United States. The company's wooden rowing machines are handcrafted from a selection of the world's finest sustainable hardwoods and can be found in expansive health clubs, luxury hotels, and boutique fitness studios worldwide.

The brand's unique WaterFlywheel, designed in the mid-1980s by Yale and US National Team Rower John Duke, is the key to its products' exceptional performance. This patented technology uses a specially formed paddle to cup the moving water, reducing slippage and producing an unrivaled simulation of the benefits of rowing. Unlike conventional mechanical rowing machines, the WaterFlywheel provides a smooth, even load that is kind to the body and relaxing to the mind, with no jerkiness or jarring.

The self-paced nature of the WaterRower allows users of any age, sex, size, or fitness level to row effectively. The amount of work applied dictates the speed, with the user as the engine. The more work done, the more resistance can be overcome, and the faster the user can move. This self-regulating resistance and the smooth connection between the user and the moving water help accommodate developing techniques and reduce the risk of injury.

To enhance the user experience, the WaterRower features a comfortable seat with proper cushioning and contouring to minimize pressure points and promote healthy posture. Wheels for mobility make the machine effortless to reposition and store.

The S4 Monitor, a key component of the WaterRower, measures the speed of the paddle using an infrared detector and a castellated Sensor Pickup. This data is displayed, providing users with valuable feedback on their workout, including speed, distance, intensity, and heart rate (with the optional cardio kit).

WaterRower is a proud supporter of its local Rhode Island community and continues to have its Americas Headquarters based in the small town of Warren. The company's commitment to sustainable manufacturing and community engagement sets it apart as a truly unique American fitness brand.

With a range of models in different wood finishes, the WaterRower offers something for every user, whether they are looking for the classic Ash, the bold Oak, the warm Walnut, or the elegant Cherry. Each machine is built to the highest standards, with a 100% aluminum frame and USA-made components, ensuring a durable and reliable rowing experience.
