DESIGNED FOR LIFE
An American Original In 1988, former Yale and US National Champion oarsman John Duke invented the WaterRower and, in an instant, introduced a generation to the joys and virtues of on-water rowing without the need for boathouses, rowing shells or oars. The beauty of rowing is not merely the workout, it’s the experience. For those very few that frequent the iconic boathouses that line the Thames, the Charles and countless other renowned rowing venues, fitness and competition may be key elements of the equation, yet the flowing water, the natural surroundings that line its banks and the sun peaking over the broad trees on the horizon… those are the catalysts that make rowing more than a sport; they are what make rowing a lifestyle. What exactly did John create, 30 years ago? The rush of the water, the beautiful Cherry wood frame, the natural resistance that simply could not be replicated using air or magnets or pistons; the first WaterRower was so much more than solely a piece of fitness equipment, it was a work-of-art…and function. For those in search of a fitness lifestyle, one that goes beyond the exercise, we invite you to see the definition of a fitness experience...welcome to WaterRower.
The Perfect Exercise The WaterRower has been designed to simulate the smooth, flowing nature of a boat gliding through the water. A truly self-regulating exercise, rowing is ideal for any user, from world-class athletes to first-time rowers and fitness enthusiasts; the WaterRower is suitable for any age, gender or level of fitness. Combining focus, strength and stamina into one complete exercise, rowing burns fat and strengthens your cardiovascular system with no detrimental impact or load on your joints.

Powered by You 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 pleasures of rowing. The authentic resistance produced by the flywheel’s uniform mass adjusts to the exact effort of each user, providing an outstanding fullbody workout, while eliminating the necessity to modify water levels. Simply fill the tank to the calibration level range and enjoy the precisely distributed resistance over nine major muscle groups, throughout each and every stroke. Because water is 800 times more dense than air, there is no need for unnecessary dampening. The WaterRower’s resistance is self-regulating, varying according to the “Rule of Cubes.” Doubling the speed requires an eight-fold increase in power and effort; resistance is therefore infinite and infinitely variable.

The Ultimate Cross-Trainer Don’t let its beauty fool you…the WaterRower is the training tool of choice for numerous professional athletes and fitness competitors, throughout the world. Those who like to push their workouts to the limit will love the full body training effect of rowing and the uniform resistance found throughout all WaterRower models. Users engage 84% of their muscle mass during every stroke, all while working the body through a functional, athletic range of motion. The end result…rowers burn more calories (in excess of 1,000/hour during high intensity training), strengthen core muscles and improve flexibility. If you are looking to add another weapon to your training arsenal, look no further than WaterRower.

Endorsements Xeno Müller: Olympic Gold and Silver Medalist I won Olympic gold and silver in the men’s single scull and I will keep rowing for my entire life, to stay healthy and be able to chase down my great grandchildren. Now, I am a husband and a father of four and I love rowing at home. The WaterRower is gentle to row and gives me a full body workout. The quiet sound of the water adds harmony to our family life. Rowing at home is a great way to lead by example for my children to adopt exercise as a lifestyle. When I exercise on the WaterRower, I feel rejuvenated physically as well as mentally. I look forward to helping others find the same benefits.
Rob Gronkowski: NFL All-Pro & Super Bowl Champion The WaterRower has been a great addition to my year-round training. It’s a full body workout that allows me to get a great sweat while keeping my heart rate up…. All without putting stress on my joints. It really is a great brand, a great product and a great workout.
Callie Bundy: TV Personality & Fitness Model I have been using the WaterRower for a few months now and I love it! It’s quiet and it takes up so little space; plus, you can store it away and move it around easily so it’s perfect for any home gym. The best part about the rower is that it really gets your heart rate up, gets you sweating and is so low impact. It’s an amazing piece of equipment!
Will Satch: Olympic Gold Medalist WaterRower is suitable for anyone – from a complete novice to an Olympic rower. By using 84% of your total muscle mass with each stroke, it will allow you to burn more calories than any other exercise equipment, in a short period of time. What I find great about the WaterRower is that you can work out hard, while putting minimal labor and impact on your back and joints. The swirl of the water while rowing will make you feel as though you’re out sculling on the Thames – you can close your eyes and picture yourself in that moment on the river; it’s the closest experience to on-water rowing that you will get from a rowing machine.
