ROWING MACHINE CLASSIC

Since 1988

JOHN DUKE

THE FIRST DESIGN

The WaterRower was invented in 1988 by John Duke, engineer and USA national-level rower. His design followed 2 principles: First, replicating real rowing experiences, like resistance, sound and physical benefits. Next, ensuring the machine’s aesthetic compliments interior furnishing, for users to have a welcoming emotional connection, as is common with favored furniture and art.

THE FIRST DESIGN

The Water Tank

The WaterRower’s most important feature is its water tank and how it works: The WaterRower’s unique WaterFlywheel design uses a specially formed paddle to cup the moving water, reduce slippage and produce an unrivalled simulation of the benefits of rowing.

IT’S IN THE DETAILS

For your perfect rowing experience

Glide

The Seat

As you row, feel how the seat glides silently in line with your stroke pace. Eight ball bearing mounted rolls made of anti-abrasion polyurethane ensure seamless, fluid rolling on the rails. The seat is ergonomically cushioned, further providing comfort during your workout.

ADJUSTABLE

FOOTPAD FLEXIBILITY

The WaterRower footboard offers the highest level of flexibility to support an optimal rowing position. The ergonomic foot pads and straps are both individually adjustable, guaranteeing maximum comfort.

SPACE-SAVER

UPRIGHT STORAGE

When not in use, the Original Series WaterRower can be stood upright for space-saving storage, occupying no more space than a chair. Rubber dolly wheels allow for easy maneuvering around the home or studio. The WaterRower’s center of gravity lies in its water tank which enables you to effortlessly lift it at the rail-end. In any position, the water remains safely in the tank.
