Warren, Rhode Island, USA — 16 March 2026
WaterRower today announces the launch of the Metallic HiRise Pro, a next-generation rowing machine designed specifically for the commercial gym environment. Built to make indoor rowing more accessible and engaging for the wider gym community, the Metallic HiRise Pro combines WaterRower’s signature craftsmanship with advanced digital training technology.
At the heart of the Metallic HiRise Pro is an integrated touchscreen display that guides users through instructor-led workouts and immersive scenic rowing content. By combining structured coaching with engaging digital environments, the system is designed to encourage longer workout sessions and help more gym members experience the full benefits of rowing-based training.
The Metallic HiRise Pro also introduces a range of design and performance improvements aimed at enhancing the user experience in busy fitness environments. These include refined ergonomics for improved comfort and accessibility, alongside a new patent-pending PowerPulley system, which provides in-depth training insights and best-in-class performance data.
Together, these innovations aim to reposition the rowing machine within the gym floor — transforming it from a tool often used for short warm-ups into a central piece of cardio equipment capable of delivering engaging, full-body workouts.
Peter King, CEO of WaterRower, commented:
“Across the gym floor, most cardio equipment now incorporates screens and digital content to help keep users engaged. Rowing machines have often been left behind in this regard, which means they’re frequently used only briefly as a warm-up. With the Metallic HiRise Pro, we wanted to change that. By combining immersive content, guided training and deeper performance insights, we’re helping more people discover the incredible benefits of indoor rowing as a complete workout.”
The Metallic HiRise Pro represents WaterRower’s continued commitment to advancing indoor rowing technology while maintaining the performance standards and build quality the company is known for worldwide.
