About the WaterRower Original Oak Rowing Machine
The WaterRower Oak is the oak version of the Original WaterRower, a hand-crafted wooden rowing machine that uses water for resistance. The water-based design aims to recreate the feel of rowing on open water.
It's built for low-impact, full-body rowing workouts, and WaterRower pitches it at a wide range of users, from people new to rowing to elite athletes. The company makes its rowers in several hardwoods so they suit a home as well as a gym, and the oak finish can sit comfortably in a living space where a metal machine might feel out of place.
It suits anyone who wants a rower that looks at home in the house and delivers a water-based rowing feel.
What reviewers say
Reviewers praise the WaterRower's handsome wooden design, smooth and quiet stroke and the calming sound of the water, and note that it stands upright for storage in little more space than a chair. Common drawbacks are the premium price, a low seat and steep foot angle that some find awkward, extra weight once the tank is filled, and add-ons such as a heart rate receiver or riser kit costing extra.
