WaterRower Rowing Machines – Realistic On-the-Water Rowing

Waterrower Logo

For aesthetic appeal and good looks, WaterRower rowing machines are way ahead of the pack. But the wood frame design is more than eye candy – the wood provides superior engineering properties.

What could be more natural than rowing using a combination of the world’s best woods from sustainable forests with the resistance of water? It is an experience that recreates the peacefulness of real on-the-water rowing.

About the Rowers

WaterRower Rowing Machines Using only the finest hardwoods from replenishable forests in the Appalachian Mountains, the four wooden rowers are the Natural (Ash Wood with Honey Oak stain), the Club (Ash Wood stained black and rose), the Oxbridge (Cherry Wood), and the Classic (American Black Walnut). WaterRower rowing machines are designed for longevity and dimensional stability, holding up to 2,200 pounds of weight. The hardwood absorbs sound and vibration so you get a smoother, quieter stroking motion.

Waterrower Indoor Rowing Machine With a more contemporary design, the M1 LoRise rower is made from tubular steel and comes in standard colors of silver, black, and white with over 1600 custom colors available. The LoRise has a low entry height of 12”, while the M1 HiRise has a regular height of 20”.

The IndoRow A1 is offered in either a home or studio model (for group rowing). It is designed for simplicity and does not include the advanced S4 monitor that is found on the other rowers listed above. Just press the QuickStart function and start rowing. The home model has a max user capacity of 275 lbs while the pro studio rower has a capacity of 550 lbs.

About the Company

Former Yale and US National Team Rower John Duke launched WaterRower Inc in 1988 in Rhode Island. The company expanded to the UK in 1991, and to Australia and the Asia region in 2000. The WaterRower is represented in 11 countries around the world while all manufacturing is done at the US facility in Warren, RI.

Each indoor rower is hand-crafted to the company’s high standard of “Purity by Design”, a concept that seeks to blend form, function, and design with durability. These rowers are such works of art that they have been exhibited at London’s Design Museum, and have received the Plus X Award in sports & lifestyles for design. Reviews of the reasonably priced ($900 to $1500) WaterRower rowing machines are outstanding, making them top rated among water resistance rowers.

Model Reviews

WaterRower Classic - A well-designed rower that will give you years of invigorating daily workouts; aesthetically appealing and beautiful, remarkably quiet, stable, and durable.

WaterRower Natural - Our preferred choice of the company’s four premium hardwood designs simply because it is the lowest priced and the best value at $1,095.

WaterRower Oxbridge - An excellent choice for a rowing machine if you want the closest replication to actually immersing a paddle in moving water; beautiful design, whisper quiet operation.
