Crafted with precision in a hybrid frame of premium cherry wood, finished with a rich, natural stain and hand-rubbed Danish oil, the WaterRower Hybrid BLE Cherry showcases timeless beauty while delivering commercial-grade durability. Designed to accommodate rowers of all fitness levels, the Hybrid was created for dynamic indoor rowing group classes, making it a versatile choice for both home and studio settings. Lightweight and effortlessly portable, the Hybrid can be stored vertically when not in use, offering a practical space-saving solution. Remarkably, three Hybrid rowing machines can be stored in the same footprint as a single spin bike, making it perfect for compact spaces.

Wood & Aluminum Frame
Suitable for users of any fitness level, the A1 rowing machine was originally designed for indoor rowing group exercise classes. Use every large muscle group with a single stroke to burn calories and build strength. Lightweight and portable, the A1 rower can be placed on end when not in use for space-saving storage. Fitted with the A1 Quick-Start Monitor to view key workout data as you row.
The A1 Difference
As with all WaterRower series, the A1 Hybrid rower is designed to give you the ultimate full-body workout. Use 84% of muscle mass every stroke. Burn calories and build strength with minimal impact on joints and the lower back. The A1 seat glides on an aluminum monorail, marginally louder than the dual-rail seat system on other WaterRowers. The A1 rower seat boasts a wider design for added comfort.
Flyweel - Feels like Real Rowing
At the heart of the Hybrid lies the signature WaterFlywheel, celebrated for its unparalleled ability to replicate the feel of on-water rowing. This unique feature ensures a smooth, natural rowing motion that engages the entire body. The Hybrid BLE is equipped with the QuickStart Monitor, featuring a backlit display and Bluetooth connectivity, enabling seamless integration with popular fitness apps such as WATERROWER CONNECT and CityRow. Effortlessly track key metrics like distance, 500m split time, stroke rate, and calories burned, empowering you to monitor your progress and achieve your fitness goals.
Footboard - Flexibility and Support
The WaterRower Hybrid footboard features our dual pin footpads for the perfect blend of flexibility and support during your rowing workout.
The Art of Rowing
At the heart of the A1-Hybrid rower’s design is the WaterFlywheel, ergonomically formed to ensure the best simulation of no-water rowing. No manual adjustments are required; your resistance is solely determined by the force you apply: the harder you pull, the greater the resistance and the higher the intensity. Choose a workout with all the feel, sound, and exercise benefits of real rowing.
LightRing
Illuminate your WaterRower sessions with the innovative LightRing. Attached to the underside of the WaterRower tank, the LightRings’ vibrant LED lights provide real-time performance assistance. When used with the WATERROWER Connect app, the LightRing syncs with your rower. And when you are not rowing, the LightRing can be used to illuminate your WaterRower in all its glory.
Ergonomic Seat Pad
The Hybrid rower comes with an ergonomically-shaped and cushioned seat - slightly wider than the Original Series models- providing an overall comfortable experience for your rowing training.
A1 Monitor
As standard, the Hybrid comes fitted with the CR Bluetooth Monitor. The monitor displays stroke rate, split time, distance, watts, and more, while linking with rowing apps including WaterRower Connect, CITYROW, and Peloton, as well as activity trackers such as Strava and Apple Health.
Tablet Arm
The Phone & Tablet Arm lets you see your device easily while rowing. The Phone & Tablet Arm can be folded away when not in use. The package includes a smartphone holder, but additional attachments also allow tablets of different sizes to be used.
S2 CR Monitor with Backlit Display
