The original since 1988 - the WaterRower was invented by John Duke in 1988. The American rower developed the practical function and timeless design of the rower on the basic idea that training on land mirrors as real as possible the conditions on the water.
The WaterRower was designed to fit comfortably, to the hectic everyday life. Just put it down and it's ready to go. Feel the unique feeling of water resistance and listen to the pleasant sound of the water.
The heart of the WaterRower is the patented water tank with the ergonomically shaped water paddle. This allows for maximum water retention and creates the smooth, jerk-free resistance. Training with water resistance is absolutely gentle on the joints, relaxing and at the same time extremely effective.
The WaterRower automatically adapts to the user. The resistance regulates itself after entering the force. The harder you pull, the greater the resistance. The WaterRower is self-determining. With the WaterRower you can show yourself. You don't have to hide it like many other steel fitness machines. The WaterRower is an eye-catcher for guests. It is almost silent and thus does not disturb neighbors, so it can be used anytime after 10 p.m.
The WaterRower's unique aesthetics, unenriched by other ergometers, combined with the high quality of the device, make the WaterRower one of the most successful rowing ergometers ever. The WaterRower's self-determination effect means it can be used by anyone at any time, without having to make tedious changes to presets. The WaterRower's beautiful design prevents dislike through appearance and motivates regular exercise use. Timeless, appealing and excellent - the WaterRower rower was awarded the renowned Plus X Award for its unique design and was the only sports equipment in the Design Museum of London.
The WaterRower built in different types of wood, as well as the steel has a world-wide patent on the water vane wheel, which simulates the dynamics of the rowing motion. When the wheel is pulled through the water tank, the water resistance is created, which feels natural, soft and smooth, and connects to rowing on the water.
The soft splashing of the water enhances the impression of gliding away in the boat. The WaterRower takes advantage of the rowing motion in a unique way: You train while determining your load and speed yourself.Because rowing stroke and speed of a boat are interdependent, each crew in the rowing boat sets its own training intensity by simply changing the speed at which it rows. The faster the boat glides across the water, the faster the crew pulls the oar through the water and the more effort they have to put in. When swimming, you get the same effect. The WaterRower simulates exactly this effect on land. Therefore, you don't need a device to adjust the training resistance. If you want to train more intensively, simply row faster. The WaterRower will respond accordingly.
