WaterRower Club Rowing Machine with S4 BLE Monitor | USA Made Water Rower | Original Handcrafted Erg Row Machine for Home Use & Gym

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.)

I am a typical American person who is overweight and pre-dietetic due a lifestyle of too much stress, to little exercise and the addition of the COVID weight gain. I want to make better choices and get healthy. So, with this in mind, I did research to find equipment that could meet my goal of cardio and minor strength training while being easy on my body (I’m older and don’t want to ruin my joints with hard impacts until my strength and weight are where they need to be) Rowing was recommended as a way to increase flexibility, stamina, strength and great cardio without being overly taxing on your body. This manufacturer and this machine was highly recommended by fitness magazines, some health care professionals and obviously the market place reviews. Now, I ALWAYS take reviews with a grain of salt. But the thing that kept coming up was the ease of use and the sound it makes while in use. I can honestly say, it is very meditating hearing the water churn with each stroke. Like being on a nice calm lake and you are rowing your boat. I really enjoy it. There is an onboard computer that tracks your time/distance/calories burned/workout session and other functions. It has no app separate so you need to use the computer if you want to track anything. Not an issue for me. The machine arrived in three boxes (normally two but I added the upgraded riser kit so the machine would be about a foot off the floor when in use). The one huge box contains the water bowl, the foot board and the pulley system, seat and various hardware to put everything together. The other long box was the rails and storage wheels. The instructions were clear and very detailed. Previous reviews lamented on things not lining up properly or needed additional holes drilled… this was NOT the case for me. However you must not fully tighten any of the hardware until the entire unit is put together. This is VERY IMPORTANT. You might need to push or pull on some items to get things to line up 100% because it is wood and wood can swell if it is humid during assembly. The assembly went very smoothly and quickly. Filling the water tank was a little tricky but as other have mentioned, just use the provided siphon tube and you will be fine. Make sure to add the water stabilization tablet so you don’t end up with funky water. It comes with two (replace once every 6 months of use) and when you register the machine you get these tablets free for life - really) Finally, the machine is solid, sturdy for me (I’m 6’3” 268lbs) and very smooth to use. It stands up when not in use and can be moved around if needed. The riser kit is an extra cost but makes getting onto and off of the rower easier for me. The sound of actually rowing in water and the resistance it provides (water will not compress so the harder you row the more resistance there is) works very well for me. Again, I’m not getting paid for this review. I bought the rower and zero discounts or kickbacks. In today’s world of fake news, influencer culture and paid reviews…. It’s sad that I have to add that disclaimer. For those that got though all of this, I hope you take my review for what it is. Do some of your own research and hopefully you purchase this rower from a company that actually is in America (Rhode Island) and is a real one with real people that can answer your questions and provide lifetime care.

I just got it today, but so far my impression is like many reviews: easy to assemble and looks n feels well crafted and sturdy, resistance is similar to actual rowing. Plus the water sound is soothing and rhythmic while not overly loud. The only minor problem was the hardware kit had an extra nut where a bolt should have been.. so missing a bolt, but I had one that works fine, just doesn't match the others.

This product is shipped in two packages. The rails in one and the water tank with monitor in the other. The water tank was received with a crack which I immediately reported to Gronk Fitness Products. In turn they notified the manufacturer, WaterRower Club. WaterRower Club sent a new water tank with monitor. I was rowing and am happy with the purchase. The equipment works great, is of high quality, and Made in America. I recommend these companies to anyone interested.

A few people have complained about putting the Hi-Rise legs on the WaterRower, and they gave it a low rating for that reason. I’m an old lady and I figured out how to do it. I’m writing this review with a few tips to show that it really is EASY. The WaterRower is a fantastic way to keep old tired muscles in shape, and even people who are not that good at DIY (like me) can put it together themselves. #1 You need a POWER DRILL for the screws (only for the Hi-Rise screws, not for the rest of the WaterRower). Reason is because the screws are going into hard wood. Same “screw hole,” but these are different screws. An “extender” for the screw bit is useful, but may not be necessary (my screw extender is around 4”). Everybody should have a power drill. Borrow one if you don’t have one. #2 IMPORTANT: The screws to attach the Hi-Rise are not the same screws as for the rubber pads. They are shorter, have a flat head, and different screw threads. You're supposed to get a bag of 16 DIFFERENT screws for the Hi-Rise. If you try to use the screws from the rubber pads that came on the rails, you will not be able to get them into the hard wood, so don’t even try. I ordered my WaterRower from a third party on Amazon, and it was perfect, except that the bag of screws for the Hi-Rise was not included. If that happens, call WaterRower. They sent me a bag of screws, even extra screws, and I got them in the mail the next day. #3 Get a DRY bar of soap (or some hard wax, like from a candle). Roll the screws back and forth in the dry soap wax to cover as much of the screw’s thread as possible, including the tip of the screw. #4 You don’t need to drill a pilot hole for the screws because they already have a pilot hole from the screws for the rubber pads that came on the rails. You don’t need to drill the hole bigger. #5 Use the power drill to slowly drill the screws in as far as they comfortably go, without any strain, then back them out. Do this a few times, in and out, and they will then go all the way in without effort. If you manhandle the screw, it can strip the screw and then you’d have to use Vice-Grips to get the screw out. If you go in and out, slowly, several times, with the soap wax on the screw, it will go all the way in without effort, without any manhandling. The rest of the assembly of the WaterRower is a breeze. A few people have complained about putting on the Hi-Rise legs, but it sure does make a difference getting on and off the machine, especially if you are an old lady with arthritis in the knees. ALSO, if you buy from a third party, know that if you call WaterRower, they will register your machine (get the serial number off the back of the meter on it), and you will get two additional years of Warranty for FREE. I was also told, after registering, that the water purification tablets are free, for the lifetime of the machine. They sent me a few extra tablets with the screws. AND ALSO - please note: I asked WaterRower if it's a good idea to install the Hi-Rise legs first, before assembling the rest of the machine, and they said yes, it's fine, no problem with assembling the rest if you do the Hi-Rise legs first. If you live within driving distance they will even assemble your machine for you for free, no matter where you bought it, if you have a vehicle that can transport it back home. They can’t ship a fully assembled WaterRower. The WaterRower people are friendly, helpful, and very accommodating!

Ordered on Jan 23rd and received in less than a week so loved that. Came in 2 boxes got them both same day not like others said separate days. Immediately put together by myself and took about 30-35 minutes. Manual super easy to understand. Longest part was filling the compartment with water. Used same night swooshing sound is soothing. It’s sturdy, I can lift and move without feeling strained, just overall a solid piece of equipment. My S4 monitor isn’t tight so it flips and slips around sure it’s something simple. Will make a call and hopefully that will be easy to resolve. Overall definitely purchase if you are pondering it. My whole family uses it now.

I was skeptical about waterrowers. Friend of mine e mentioned he had one for 5 years now and never experienced an issue with it since it is purely mechanical and minimal moving parts. We have it a try. We live in a townhome and we’re limited on space. The unit is pleasing to eye, stores well against the wall, sturdy, and did I mention the relaxing water sound while exercising. Lastly, the low impact exercise is a butt kicker, so don’t be fooled that you will not your heart rate up.

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.

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

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.
