Mr. J.F. - Owner; MVP Fitness, Amherst, MA

I've been a group fitness instructor for 3 years, and the WaterCrew program has re-energized me as an instructor and educator in the fitness industry.

It's a great workout that you should not be intimidated to try. There's no getter way to get a full-body, NO IMPACT workout, that targets your core as well. I'd recommend this workout to anyone.

I teach and take rowing because nothing is as fun or as physically challenging and rewarding as rowing.

Personally, rowing has changed everything about my fitness. Rowing gives me one of the most complete workouts I can find in the gym. I stay injury free and when I run or teach classes now I feel light, faster and recover more quickly. Rowing on the machines feels smooth and powerful due to the water component and sound. Many of us row almost every day and feel stronger instead of exhausted or worn out like we used to feel from running and spinning every day.

I have been a gym owner for ten years and have seen classes come and go. This one is here to stay since it is rewarding for all levels of fitness, all ages and even people with some type of minor injury. We have several gym members who row every day because they have found it is the one thing that has completely alleviated their chronic back pain. They tell me if they stop all their original problems come back.

My classes range in ages from 18 to 75,. We ask members to take a 45 minute orientation class because correct technique on the rower determines how successful the workout is. Once you know how to drive up your intensity to your own challenging pace you can row constantly and never find you've hit a plateau. Each person can row at their own intensity level due to the way the machine is designed. This is especially fun for people who have not been physically able to join a tougher class but are looking for a group fitness experience.

Rowing really does it all! I truly can't imagine staying fit without it.

1 The rowing workout is an extraordinary compliment to a high intensity spinning ride, it presents much less of a stress workout on joints, bad knees, etc.

2. The work out is low impact and yet satisfies the need for a full body workout.

3. The rhythm of the rowing workout can often off set the sudden intervals that can be contained in a spinning ride.

4. The after effect is the rower will be somewhat fatigued and tired but will never be sore.

5. The rowing workout is 'sneaky' in the regard that the effort sometimes is deceiving but when using a heart rate monitor the evidence of a good solid workout are undeniable.

6. The rhythm of the rowing movement and also the sound of the moving water create a rhythmic and relaxing workout.

7. The subtle upper body piece that can be incorporated into the workout is excellent.

8. The key to the workout, I find is the excellent technical technique taught by the instructors. The support, motivation and discipline make this one great workout.

Though a former rower, it had been over a decade since I was on the water. WaterRower's instructor training was amazing – not only for teaching in how to plan for a class, but in bringing back the key essence of the stroke. I improved my intensity by almost 10% (0.4 M/S) simply by practicing all of the technique tips such as using my shoulders, hinging from the hips, driving with the balls of my feet, and remembering to complete the finish of the stroke. I am very excited to bring this technique training to new rowers!

I love the workout that WaterRower provides. It can be an intense workout but without any pain or injury some other exercises may cause. My lower back can be sensitive to certain movements & I do not have any distress when WaterRowing. I highly recommend it!
