Customer Comments

Mr CB,  Cheshire UK

"As a former competitive rower I had much experience of concept 2 ergos. Wanted machine for home and found the water rower better for storage space. Also more realistic simulation of rowing, quieter and less ugly."

 

Ms L W, Ontario Canada

"I don't really like to exercise, but for some reason love to row. I have a rough water scull, but can only use it 5-6 months out of the year. The water rower fills in the gap and will even allow me to row during the summer when the outdoor water conditions are too rough. I am absolutely looooooving my new machine!"

 

Mr  P R, Kent UK

"My son wanted a rowing machine to improve his fitness and I thought it would be good for me as well. I consulted a colleague at work who recommended WaterRower or Concept 2. I chose WaterRower because it was quieter and was easier to store."

 

Mr  S M, Michigan USA

"Most like actual rowing. Quiet operation. Nice design and construction, not like typical fitness equipment."

 

Mr R L, California, USA

It looks good, it sounds good, it feels good, and requires zero maintenance."

 

Mr  T B, Ohio, USA

"I have always enjoyed rowers when belonged to a gym. I'm a ultra runner and bicyclist that wanted a in home option for non impact cross training. I also wanted a gym level piece of equipment. The idea of water resistance was great. When demo'ed at the store I was sold on the quiet operation and sound of the water. The solid review and look of the machine just added to the package. Thanks for a great piece of cardio equipment ."

 

Mr  P H, Essex, UK

"Highly recommended, excellent concept, ideal for all the family, my wife and two children to exercise and train on in our home environment. It is quiet, with only a soothing water noise and it generally blends in with our home, being able to stand it up and wheel it easily into a corner of the room. We are very pleased with this product, it does everything it says it does and a lot more, including motivating us to actually use it and keep using it."

 

Mr S M Oregon, USA

"Wanted an aerobic activity that would build endurance and help us to loose weight. WaterRower is attractively styled and well made ... also made in America (yeah!)."

 

Mr A W, Bedfordshire, UK

"I wanted an ergo that I could use in my living room whilst listening to music or watching TV. Air-rowers are too noisy and would blow any loose papers around, so I chose a WaterRower."

 

Ms R G Oregon, USA

"I bought my Water Rower six years ago, following a bilateral breast cancer surgery.  I intended to 'rehabilitate' my body after such an invasive surgery.  It didn't take me long to get hooked on rowing, building up my muscles and strength again... Today, almost eight years a survivor, I row every morning, have never been in such good shape...  It is a healing experience, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally."

 

Mr J J, Birmingham, UK

"To gain a better level of fitness and feel good about myself. Also as an investment rater than paying anything up to £50 per month for a gym membership. The machine looks and works great, best purchase I've ever made."

 

Ms K W, New York, USA

"I wanted an erg for my home, and I prefer the design, feel, quality, and aesthetics of the WaterRower over the Concept2. I am a rower and use the erg for fitness in the off-season. I'm really pleased with my WaterRower!!!"

 

Mr R H, Alaska, USA

"This is an incredible machine. It's our first rower and we did considerable research before buying. We are not disappointed at all. Set up was a breeze; took me less than 30 minutes. Interesting in that in a city the size of Houston there were NONE to be found on Craig's list."

 

Ms T G, Dorset, UK

"Wanted a rower for general fitness. The Water Rower met my needs for ease of use, quietness, easy storage and looks good. Had it a few days now and I'm delighted - really smooth and satisfying to use. The sound of the water is almost therapeutic."

 

Mr T D, Texas, USA

"My wife recently joined a rowing club in the Houston area. She has really enjoyed it buy in the heat of the summer it was hard for her to get out there. We recently found out that she is pregnant so the WaterRower seemed like a great way for her to row at her own pace while still staying in shape during the pregnancy. So far we both really enjoy the rower. Thanks!"

 

Ms R R, Dorset, UK

"We needed some kind of home fitness equipment for increasing fitness and weightloss. My knees are not designed for running and cycling is for outdoors. Feel comfortable with rowing action - I used to row as a sport. Tried out several types of rowing machine - WaterRower was the best of the bunch."

 

Ms S R, Cambridgeshire, UK

"I row in an Eight and wanted to do erg practice in my own home rather than try to get to the Boat House which is difficult. I love the smoothness of the slide and the sound of the water - it's a pleasure to use."

 

Mr K H, Queensland, Australia

"I had always used a concept 2 rower in the gym and thought nothing could be better. I then decided to purchase a rowing machine for home use. The shop assistant asked me to try the water rower, and I have never looked back. It just felt "right". It is smooth and a pleasure to use. I would or could not ever use another indoor rower other than water rower.

It looks great, it really is like a piece of "fancy" furniture. It stores so well standing up. It is much quieter that the concept 2 which is great for my partner and I, as we live in a unit. The web-site is also user-friendly and there are some great links on it. It is simply the best way to get fit, loose weight and challenge yourself each day with different programmes. Oh, and the printable exercise logs are an awesome way to track your progress."

 

Ms S M, Scotland UK

I felt that the WaterRower was far superior to any rower I had used and I loved the look of it and also the effect of rowing on water, very calming... Brilliant piece of equipment and very comfortable to sit on and operate."

 

Mr D G, California, USA

"As I am getting older and need less impactful exercise, wanted a rower to help maintain & improve my overall fitness. Researched rowers extensively and found the WaterRower to be the most exceptional rower available in terms of function, quality and attractiveness to use."

 

Mr B A, Derbyshire, UK

"Having undergone open heart surgery needed to have my own cardiovascular fitness equipment at home that I could use at any time. Having read many reviews considered the water rower to be the best option. I have not been disappointed."

 

Mr C M, New York, USA

"I've been struggling with a persistent case of plantar faciitis over the last five months which has made it impossible to walk for exercise. Over the last few months using the WaterRower has helped me shed weight and keep my sanity."

 

Mr D K, California, USA

"I wanted to thank you for your exceptional customer service.  I had called the customer information line twice and your level of knowledge and care provided was just far beyond expectations.  In the current economic environment, many companies today are cutting back.  It is clear WaterRower is not cutting back but will continue as a leader."

 

Mr E S, Cambridge UK

"It is the best rowing machine I have used in over 40 years of keeping fit. First rate service, I will recommend this to all my friends and colleagues."

 

Mr P O, New Jersey, USA

"I like the idea of water simulating a real rowing experience. I also like the environmentally friendly aspect of your design."

 

Ms M B, Texas, USA

"Brother in law owns one. I enjoyed hearing the water as I worked out. Great alternative when I can't be on the water. Conveniently stored and fits with the furniture. Doesn't look out of place when I leave it in the living room for a few days. Doesn't look like a standard piece of exercise equipment. Smooth workout."

 

Mr  P C West Midlands, UK

"The wife got it me for my 40th. I'd been wooing over them for years. its been brill over the last five years and still in fantastic condition. thank you."

 

Mr S S, New South Wales, Australia

"Tried many rowing machines. The Water Rower was different in looks, resistance and quality, and also with 2 small children in the house the lack of moving parts was a major selling point, as was the more "soothing' noise it made. Overall, we couldn't be happier."

 

Mr C P, San Diego, USA

"Quiet, sturdy, well-built, easy to assemble, quiet, space conscious design and the cat loves to watch the paddle go round. At first you don't think there is enough resistance, compared to a training erg.. but after 5 minutes of rowing...you realize you don't need it."

 

Mr M S, Washington, USA

"I used Concept 2 ergometers as an oarsman, then a coach, starting in the early 1980s. I have also owned two different models of the Concept 2 for my own use. (Each sold before moves.) When I recently decided to buy another rowing machine, I had an opportunity to try a WaterRower. Rowing feel, noise level, looks, size, and upright storage made it a superior choice for my needs."
