WaterRower Club | Rowing Machine with S4 Monitor | USA Made

I bought this rowing machine because I used to row in college, and that was the fittest I've ever been in my life. I'm in blobby winter shape right now. I live in an area of the country with harsh, crappy winters that prevent me from wanting to ever leave my house unless I have to, so my gym membership gathers dust. I'm also pretty naturally lazy, so I need to be able to get obsessed with something to do it consistently. This product fit my needs perfectly in the following ways: -When I rowed in school, we used fancy concept2 ergs for training purposes. I always found them lacking the romance of why i started rowing to begin with -- wanting to be out on the water. Concept2 is an amazing machine but I have come to associate it with a certain kind of self torture that I wanted to get away from. The water rower makes a pretty good replica of being in a boat. The only thing missing is the CHUNK CHUNK of the oars on each stroke and the fact that rowing is a sport that takes place so early in the morning it may as well be the middle of the damn night. -I have a decent amount of floor space in my apartment but this thing is pretty long. It takes up a fair amount of real estate when it's deployed. I leave it out. All the time. Right in the middle of everything. I encounter it just chilling in my living room and rather than climb OVER it to the couch, i climb on and row a couple KM. Thus, it is more convenient to row than to just lounge on the couch. Optimal for combatting my laziness with more of my laziness. That way my future couch dwelling is well earned. -The stand. I have a few annoyed things to say here, and i almost shaved off a star because of what a pain in the beans the stand was to assemble, but the stand winds up being a net positive despite what an enormous pain in the rear putting it on was. Other people have noted that the stand is a challenge and that was a bit of an underestimation. Here's what has to happen for the stand. You have to take off the little rubber feet that are already on the bottoms of the rails. The screws are in the center of them and they are in TIGHT. But getting them out by hand with a screwdriver is possible. Now you'd think that having just extracted the exact screws from the unit would mean that reattaching screws into the same holes with a bracket instead of little rubber feet would be a relatively simple to-do. You would be wrong. The wood is very hard and placing the brackets with just a screwdriver would be impossible for most humans. It was a challenge with a power drill. The instructions say to assemble the unit itself (which is really crazy easy, more on that later) and THEN swap the feet for the stand. I don't think that's the best way to do it. I did that and I had to be extra gentle so as not to mess with the tank assembly or hurt it. I don't know who the giants are who can do the stand assembly with the unit standing on end, that's like 7 feet in the air. I know most rowers are very tall but I'm not one of them. I had to lay it down. I'd do the stand on the rails after you get the rear spacer on but before the tank assembly. I don't think placing the tank and footboard would be any harder on the stand than on the floor level but doing the stand after is very hard. You don't want to drive screws against gravity so flipping it over first and just doing them with the rails flat on the ground is the way to go. ONCE THE STAND IS ON it makes a huge difference. My mom who is ageing is able to use the machine a lot easier now that it's up off the floor. Getting on the floor can be rough on the knees so the elevation of the stand is a must. - The assembly of the body of the machine was very easy. It would have taken about an hour if not for the stand. I was able to do it all by myself up until the feet got involved. (I am a 5'2 lady.) You might have to push or pull or lean on pieces to get the holes lined up exactly, but I didn't have to bring in any extra tools. -Filling the tank is fairly easy. No muss no fuss. I recommend having a 5 gallon bucket present. that amount provides a decent starting point for rowing with. You can always add more. That filled the tank to about the "16" mark. I'm not really sure what the 16 represents. It provides a good starting point if you're just getting back into rowing or just getting used to the machine. -The sound it makes is so soothing. Very meditative. Part of why I got this particular machine was to enjoy that water sound again without needing to actually find a rowing club. -the monitor is just fine for my purposes. I need to figure out the details of it and I will hopefully update going forward. -The unit is very well made. The one thing that I think might break down over time is the bungee/strap that is actually bearing most of the load. The clip that holds the strap to the bungee is plastic. That looks like the most likely failure point. I will update if that happens. -previous commenters noted that the hardware came in a jumble. Clearly, the company sorted this out because mine came beautifully packaged and clearly labelled. -it's kind of expensive. I'm not even saying that's a bad thing. It is definitely sturdy and high quality, and I believe you get what you pay for. But the expense of it was part of my own manipulation of myself. I can't very well step over a thing that cost as much as a used 2001 honda civic and not sit on it and row, now can I? Exactly. Overall I recommend this machine to anyone who is needs a little push to get motivated and loves rowing on real water.

My husband and I decided to purchase this row machine because I have to have everything matching and / or blending with my decor. We are getting older ... et em and well, need to tone up a bit but didn’t want a piece of equipment that likely would end up being a hanger for the clothes that don’t make it into the closet. Not only is this a beautiful piece of furniture that blends nicely when out (in the living room I might add) and stores quickly and easily, but we LOVE using it. The sound of the water takes you outside your living room to a serine spot to just row. You forget where you are - or maybe that’s because I am getting dizzy from my workout - in any event, it is low impact, easy to use, nice to look at and gives you a good workout without much effort. We absolutely love it and highly recommend. Top quality. Worth the investment!

When researching purchasing a rowing machine, we came across reviews that listed this WaterRower as one of the top machines. When compared with the Concept2, to us, there was no contest. Who wants to put up with the harsh metallic noise of most rowers when we could listen to the relaxing swish of water you get with the WaterRower?! We ordered the WaterRower Club Rowing Machine w/ S4 Monitor & Hi Rise Attachment as a family Christmas gift, and it is a beautiful, furniture quality machine. Unfortunately, when we opened the package about a week before Christmas, we found that the tank was broken in several places. We emailed back and forth with the seller, Gronk Fitness Products, to get a replacement tank delivered before Christmas, so we could have the machine assembled and ready to use by December 25th. Gronk responded immediately, and was terrific to work with because they were courteous, timely, and sensitive to the fact that this was our family gift. The next time we need to purchase fitness products, we'll definitely check them out first! Because of having to replace the parts on the tank, our assembly time was probably doubled, but it would typically be pretty straightforward. As for the rower, we all love it! Just as soon as we filled the tank on the rower, I was on the seat, and rowing on this machine is a dream. It is quiet, relaxing and very effective at working the entire body. Can't wait to get today's workout in! (See attached photo of the WaterRower in our home gym.)

This is a beautiful rower, I love the wood design and feel of this machine. The sound of the water in the drum is 10 times more relaxing then an air rower IMHO. Build quality is very good, the machine is very sturdy and does not squeak or creak at all. The only gripe I have about the design is the foot straps, I would love to have a little more of a gap between feet. Could use a little more of a gap between thighs. The feet rests are a little cheap and don't make it a nice experience if you wanted to row without shoes. Overall a great design, the ease of lifting up the unit and storing it upright is a huge space saver as well.

Questo vogatore è un prodotto fantastico! Ha una struttura massiccia e di ottima qualità. È sicuramente uno di quei prodotti che dureranno una vita intera. L'allenamento è piacevolissimo e fluido come se si stesse vogando in acque reali. L'intensità è variabile e la si sceglie senza impostare nessun parametro sul computerino in dotazione, basta solo vogare con più foga e l'acqua all'interno della tanica penserà al resto. Computerino completo di tutte le funzioni necessarie per impostare e controllare ogni dettaglio dell'allenamento. Non potrei essere più soddisfatto di così, il prezzo è alto ma è una spesa che si fa una volta nella vita!

I've researched about rowers, specifically this kind and brand of rower. I am highly satisfied with this purchase. I am 61 inches tall and my son is 74 inches tall and no issues with length of Rower. The assembly (level of difficulty) is about moderate if you are not DIY, otherwise, my husband is very handy, so I give it "very easy". Moving it around in a room made it easy with the help of the 2 wheels (attached to it). Filling the tank of water and removing/changing water is easy with the help of a syphon pump (included). The cost of this product is equivalent to a 1 year (elite) gym membership. This is the only cardio machine you will ever need as it is a full body workout. Nothing compares to the sound of the Water Rower and the aesthetics of the wood construction. I highly recommend it. The only negative is that (aside from its high price point) I wish this product came with a heart rate monitor which is an extra $182. Not really a downside for me as I just use my own heart rate monitor.

Ordered the WaterRower Club due to its high review ratings as an add on to my home gym. I was looking to add a rower as its a low impact exercise that's easy on my joints. This water rower is very attractive, well constructed, quite and almost meditating with the water swooshing... simply the best rower I've ever used. I ordered the optional Hi Rise leg attachments for the extra height and they are rock solid sturdy.

Lieferung des Gerätes war pünktlich und in Ordnung. Aufbau ging zügig ohne Probleme voran. Das rudern selbst auf dem Gerät macht wirklich Spaß und man hat auch den erwünschten Trainingseffekt, wenn man sich die mitgelieferte Beschreibung zu Gemüte führt. Die richtige Haltung und Durchführung sind wichtig und sind auch beschrieben. Es gibt auch genug Informationen im Internet dazu. Eine Lärmbelästigung durch das Wasser ist absolut nicht vorhanden. Jede Waschmaschine im Schleudergang ist hier lauter. Das Plätschern im Wassertank ist eher angenehm (wenn man nicht sowieso Musik beim trainieren hört). Beim trainieren beansprucht das Gerät natürlich etwas Platz. Hier reicht aber ein Flur oder ähnliches aus. Beim verstauen des Gerätes benötigt man nicht mehr soviel Platz. Durch die Rollen lässt es sich gut durch die Wohnung schieben und passt dann hinter jede Tür und steht nicht mehr im Weg. Zusammenfassend kann ich sagen, dass ich den Kauf nicht bereut hab und sehr zufrieden bin. Mit Hersteller und mit dem Händler. Noch schnell was zum Preis; der ist nicht ohne, zugegeben. Wenn man das Gerät jedoch als Investition in die eigene Gesundheit und Freizeitgestaltung sieht, hat man aufgrund der Robustheit des Gerätes und der Tatsache, dass es sich hier um ein jeder Zeit benutzbares, stromloses und unkompliziertes Heimtrainergerät handelt, nicht wirklich sinnlos investiert.

Il vogatore della marca Water Rower è un prodotto, per un allenamento fisico completo, efficace e piacevole, eccellente e era un acquisto molto sodisfacente.
