WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
TRUSTED FOR OVER 35 YEARS
" I bought a WatRower 29 years ago; it is probably the best purchase I ever made. It is a beautiful piece of furniture in my living room when not in use and a fantastic rowing machine when in use. "
" Our Water Rower is over 27 years old. It has always been a pleasure to use, much more than competitor machines that I have used in gyms. I wish other equipment would last as long as the WaterRower! "
" The Water Rower is a great rowing machine. The wood looks nice, and the swoosh of the water is fabulous while rowing. I bought my water rower in 2006 (18 years ago) and have rowed 10,500km with it to date. "
" What a great rower! I really started to use rowers when I joined Orange Theory. I decided to give it a go at home. This rower is perfect! It's sturdy, powerful, and beautiful. I also love that you can store it upright. "
" The WaterRower won me over with it’s smoothness, quietness, and simple, elegant design. "

OVERALL HEALTH & WELLBEING
BURN CALORIES
Indoor rowing is one of the most efficient exercises for caloric expenditure. At peak intensity, rowing can burn over 1,000 calories per hour, making it a highly effective and time-efficient way to maximise energy expenditure while working toward fitness goals. It offers exceptional results in a short amount of time, ideal for those with busy schedules.

FULL BODY ENGAGEMENT
STRENGTH & CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH
Combining resistance and aerobic exercise, indoor rowing is perfect for building muscular strength and cardiovascular fitness. Each stroke engages the lower body, upper body, and core. This dual-action exercise challenges the heart, lungs, and muscles, enhancing circulation, oxygen utilisation, and muscle tone for long-term health benefits.

FOR ANY AGE OR LEVEL
DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE

MORE
Position 1
RELEASE
After the „finish“, the rower releases the handle and fully extends the arms. Upper body remains slightly forward-leaning, and legs begin to bend, moving the seat back to the starting position.
Position 2
RECOVERY
During this phase, the rower returns to the starting position. Upper body remains slightly forward-leaning, legs are bent, and the seat moves forward. Hands approach the chest, preparing for the next “catch”.
Position 3
CATCH-PREP
The rower prepares for the Catch. Legs remain bent, upper body is slightly forward-leaning, and the hands move closer to the chest, ready to grip the handle.
Position 4
CATCH
This is the starting position of the rowing stroke, with the rower at the front of the machine. Legs are bent, upper body is upright, and hands hold the handle at chest height.
Position 5
DRIVE
In this phase, the rower generates power by pushing off with the legs against the resistance, driving the seat backward. Hands remain stationary- initially- while the leg and core muscles work together to drive the body backward.
Position 6
FINISH
Here, legs are fully extended, upper body leans slightly backward, and hands pull the handle towards the upper abdomen or lower chest, creating a strong connection. This phase emphasizes the culmination of power and completion of the rowing stroke.
MUSCLES USED
Synchronise Your Movements
The WaterRower’s smooth, water-based resistance mimics the natural dynamics of rowing, ensuring a low-impact workout that reduces strain on joints. Its ergonomic design promotes proper posture and even distribution of effort, minimising stress on the lower back.
- · Ergonomically designed.

Rowing training truly hits the bullseye of exercise options by offering a comprehensive, efficient, and enjoyable workout experience. It’s a winning combination of full-body engagement, cardiovascular fitness, low-impact benefits, versatility, and mental well-being.
Rowing is a compound movement that uses every large muscle group:
- · Legs - Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Glutes – Power the push-off during the drive phase.
- · Core - Abdominals, Obliques, Lower Back – Stabilise the body and transfer power from legs to arms.
- · Upper Body - Back, Shoulders, Arms – Engage to pull the handle and maintain posture.
