The WaterRower Original Series rowing machine is handcrafted in solid premium wood. Wood is an excellent material for this application due to its ability to absorb sound and vibration, enhancing the WaterRower's smooth, quiet operation. As with all WaterRowers, the WaterRower features patented WaterFlywheel technology, unrivaled in its ability to replicate the resistance felt in on-the-water rowing.
The WaterRower now comes standard with our S4 monitor, which provides a robust array of in-workout performance data and advanced training features. Enjoy a quick-start workout session or delve into our assortment of time-, distance-, and advanced-zone workouts to reach your training goals. The S4 also features built-in Bluetooth, enabling seamless connection to our portfolio of popular indoor rowing apps, such as WATERROWER CONNECT and CITYROW.
Key Features:
- Patented WaterFlywheel creates natural water resistance that responds to your stroke.
- S4 Performance Monitor included as standard, with Bluetooth connectivity
- Full-body rowing action engaging up to 84% of muscle mass
- Smooth, low-impact stroke that reduces strain on joints and lower back
- Solid hardwood frame options, sustainably sourced and hand-finished
- Upright storage design with transport wheels to save floor space
The WaterFlywheel
The patented WaterFlywheel sits at the centre of every stroke. Water resistance rises naturally as you apply more power, closely reflecting the feel of rowing on open water. Resistance is adjusted by changing the water level in the tank, keeping the stroke smooth and consistent from start to finish.
Comfort and Control
The seat runs along dual wooden rails, mirroring the layout of a rowing shell. Eight ball-bearing rollers provide steady, fluid movement. Adjustable footboards and straps support a secure rowing position.
Smooth and Quiet
Its main feature is the water tank with its ergonomically shaped water flywheel, delivering the most natural rowing feel – smooth, quiet and 100% efficient. Resistance is not manually adjusted but determined only by the force applied: the harder you pull, the greater the resistance.
Full-Body Rowing
Rowing activates around 84% of the body’s muscles in one continuous movement. Legs, core, back, and arms all work together, supporting cardiovascular fitness, strength, and coordination. Training intensity is controlled entirely by your effort, from steady endurance rows to demanding intervals.
S4 Bluetooth Performance Monitor
All Original Series rowers now come with the S4 Performance Monitor with Bluetooth connectivity as standard. Track time, distance, stroke rate, pace, watts, and heart rate when paired with a compatible chest strap—no ComModule required. App compatibility includes WaterRower Connect, CITYROW, Peloton, EXR, Kinomap, asensei, and more.
Easily Adjustable Footboards
The WaterRower footboard offers maximum flexibility for an optimal rowing position. The footrests are easy to adjust in length by pressing down on the button in the middle.
Upright Storage
When not in use, the rower can be stored upright, taking up about the same floor space as a chair. Transport wheels allow easy repositioning around the room. Dimensions: 209 cm length, 56 cm width, 53 cm height. Seat height: 30 cm.
Low-Impact Movement
Water resistance delivers an even load throughout the stroke. Compared to air or magnetic systems, the motion places less stress on joints and the lower back, supporting regular training without harsh impact.
Glides Smoothly
The seat glides silently along the rails as you row, in rhythm with your strokes. Eight ball-bearing rollers made of wear-resistant polyurethane ensure perfect smoothness, while the seat is fitted with an ergonomically shaped cushion for comfort.
*We recommend our XL-rails for individuals over 2 meters in height.
