Smooth Strokes. Total-Body Power.
American made since 1988, the WaterRower Original is handcrafted from solid hardwood and hand-finished, featuring the patented WaterFlywheel that replicates the exact feel of rowing on open water. Choose your finish, then build it out with the add-on that fits how you train.
Key Features
Six finishes — Oak, Vintage, Club, Shadow, Cherry, and Walnut — each hand-finished with Danish Oil.
Self-regulating resistance that responds naturally to your effort, just like rowing on the water.
Built-in Bluetooth for the WaterRower Connect and CityRow apps, with a full range of training workouts.
Add a Tablet Arm, HiRise Kit, CityRow Connect tablet, and more — mix and match right from this listing.
