Materials & Origin
Materials & Origin
The WaterRower is manufactured by our partner WATERROWER | NOHRD – produced in Rhode Island, USA, where the rowing machine was invented by John Duke in 1988. The solid wood used comes exclusively from sustainably managed, renewable timber stocks in the American Appalachians. Only straight, kiln-dried solid core wood is processed and then hand-oiled. Available in various wood types: oak, cherry, walnut, and vintage. The water tank is made of impact-resistant polycarbonate, and the seat runs on eight ball-bearing polyurethane rollers – wear-free and silent.

How authentic does the rowing feel?
How authentic does the rowing feel?
Due to the water and the resistance, of course, a lot. Sitting in a real boat is different, of course, but as a training, the uniformity of the load is perfectly suited to build strength endurance.
How does water resistance work?
How does water resistance work?
The resistance is generated by the water in the tank and automatically adjusts to your effort. The faster and harder you pull, the higher the resistance.
You don't have to select a resistance level or interrupt your workout. This allows you to intuitively change your pace at any time – from a gentle session to intense intervals.
Is the WaterRower also suitable for beginners?
Is the WaterRower also suitable for beginners?
Yes. As the resistance automatically adjusts to your pulling power and pace, you determine how strenuous your workout will be.
This makes the WaterRower suitable for beginners as well as experienced athletes. You can start slowly, get used to the movement sequence, and gradually increase the intensity.
Can the WaterRower be left permanently upright?
Can the WaterRower be left permanently upright?
Yes. With its sleek design and solid wood frame, the WaterRower blends much more harmoniously into living spaces than many traditional fitness machines.
You can store it upright after your workout to save space, or consciously leave it as part of your interior design.
