Today, more than ever, we are presented with products that are intended to enrich our lives. As automation and robotics become more cost effective, the human element in the things we use becomes harder to find. When you acquire a WaterRower, you own exercise furniture that is hand crafted by skilled hands from solid North American cherry and ash hardwoods. The WaterRower's design is elegant yet straightforward. Up close it is exquisitely detailed; everything fits the way hand-made pieces should. Three coats of oil are hand rubbed into the wood. With time, the cherry ages, developing a rich patina. The WaterRower is carefully designed and manufactured to be maintenance free. To row a WaterRower is to experience a rarity. The smooth feel of water resistance and the responsive mass of the water flywheel are life-like and non-mechanical. A vibration-free seat and handle glide allow you to exercise in silence. With every stroke, you create the sound of rushing water and each stroke brings a different response. The WaterRower reacts subtlely, stimulating your senses while giving you the natural feedback that allows you to feel connected. As your stroke becomes more deliberate, you engage the water more effectively. The water responds, encouraging you to continue. You become more powerful in a satisfying way. When this happens, the WaterRower has become a friend, one that works with with you to maintain your health. Available in club, natural ash, Osbridge cherry or classic walnut.
