Why purchase a WaterRower

Rowing machines have different types of resistance including magnetic resistance, air resistance and water resistance. Magnetic resistance rowers, such as the folding Tunturi R60, often offer programs like you would have on your elliptical trainer and it is often easy to adjust the resistance with the press of a button. Air resistance rowers such as the Concept rower use air and a fan assembly to provide resistance. The concept rower is very popular but personally I prefer the feel of the WaterRower. The WaterRower un-surprisingly uses water as a means of resistance. This means that the resistance is very smooth and non jarring. The WaterRower has a tank at the front which you fill with water and inside the tank are two paddles. When you pull the handle the paddles turn inside the tank and the water provides the resistance. The noise of the water inside the tank is very therapeutic and the action of the WaterRower feels excellent.

Using a siphon you can increase or decrease the amount of water to alter the resistance but to be honest the harder you row the harder your workout so there is no real need to increase or decrease the resistance once it’s filled. I personally use a WaterRower and I have never changed the water level.

There are a number of rowers in the WaterRower model range, the home versions are made from wood and look like a high class piece of furniture when not in use. The commercial versions are made from steel and are designed to withstand the vigour of a commercial environment. Another advantage of the WaterRowers is that they can be stood on end when finished meaning that they take up very little room.
