WaterRower M1 LoRise Rowing Machine with Series 4 Monitor

Silky Smooth

The WaterRower's silky smooth action makes it a pleasure to use, replicating not only the superb physical benefits of rowing but much of the aesthetic pleasure as well.

The WaterRower's patented WaterFlywheel uses paddles to connect to a moving mass of water. 

Like rowing, the connection is fluid, there is no impact, jerkiness and jarring typical of lesser rowing machines.

The WaterRower's unique patented WaterFlywheel has been designed to emulate the dynamics of a boat moving through water.

When rowing the workout is generated by overcoming the effect of drag as the boat moves through the water. So with the WaterFlywheel the workout is generated by overcoming the effect of drag as the water moves past the tank.

When rowing faster you move the boat, the greater the drag and the greater the intensity of exercise required to maintain your speed. The limit to the speed you can maintain is you, your physiology. Not the machine.

Because the WaterRower's precision spragg clutch engages the instant the handle is pulled there is no jerkiness or jarring at the beginning of the stroke.

Soothingly Silent

Because the WaterRower's patented WaterFlywheel replicates the same physical dynamics as rowing, its operation is equally as peaceful.

Simply pull the handle and you are greeted with the sound of surging water. The noise, while not silent, is soothing to the ears and is far from intrusive. Others can quite easily share living area.

Stylish Design

Designed with an obsession for detail, the WaterRower is unmatched by any other fitness equipment. The overriding design philosophy of the WaterRower has achieved "beauty by simplicity". Every detail has been resolved to compliment the overall appearance and performance of the machine, the WaterRower is unmatched by any other fitness equipment.

Every detail has been resolved to compliment the overall appearance and performance of the machine. Special attention has been made to blending it to a form so that the end result is pleasing to the senses of sight, sound and touch.

WaterFlywheel

The WaterRower's unique patented WaterFlywheel mechanism has been designed to replicate the physical dynamics of rowing, in the knowledge that this will achieve all of its physiological benefits, as well as much of the aesthetic pleasure.

Many rowing machines imitate the action of rowing, but they do so mechanically, and often lack the natural dynamics experienced when a boat and crew glide down a river.

When a crew row down a river they work to overcome the effect of drag which acts against the hull of the boat. The faster the boat is propelled the greater the drag and the harder the crew must work.

The WaterFlywheel reproduces these same natural dynamics. Like other naturally performed aerobic pursuits such as swimming, running and cycling, to increase your intensity you don't increase resistance you simply swim, run, cycle or row harder. The faster you go the higher your intensity.

When each crew member pulls a stroke, he or she works to accelerate the mass of the boat and crew. The effort is applied evenly throughout the whole stroke, utilizing the muscles of the legs, torso and upper body in unison, exercising the whole body uniformly.

The WaterFlywheel responds to the work applied allowing constant effort through the whole stroke, unlike resistance based machines where effort is high at the beginning of the stroke and fades as the resistance is overcome.

The accuracy of the WaterRower's mechanism and components provide an instantaneous pickup and the fluid connection of the WaterFlywheel giving the silky smooth action free from any detrimental impact or jerkiness and therefore comfortable whatever level of workout is being performed.
