H2O Fitness Seattle Wooden Rower WRX-1000 Water Rowing Machine

H2O Fitness Seattle Wooden Rower WRX-1000 Water Rowing Machine Review



H2O Fitness Seattle Wooden Rower WRX-1000 Water Rowing Machine Feature

  • Wooden rowing machine that combines best of aerobic and anaerobic exercise
  • Made of premium hand-selected, kiln-dried European beech wood
  • Hydro-Power drive system mimics "on the water" feel of genuine rowing
  • Easy-to-read oversized display with built-in heart rate receiver
  • Stores upright and out of the way; lifetime warranty on beech wood frame
Rowing is one of the few sports that simultaneously combines both aerobic and anaerobic exercise at the same time. But not everyone has access to a good boat and body of water. Enter the Seattle Wooden Rower from H2O Fitness, which lets you enjoy a full cardio and strength workout in the comfort of your own home. The Seattle rower is made of hand-selected, kiln-dried European beech wood of the same premium-grade quality preferred by high-end furniture manufacturers. To achieve the rower's unique design profile, H2O Fitness used heavy 2-by-6-inch stock, and then custom milled the stock to create a beautifully arched radius finish that highlights the intricate pattern of the beech wood's grain. To complete the woodworking process, the company applied a natural Danish oil finish. This not only seals and protects the wood but also brings out the natural golden luster of the beech.

Fortunately for users, the Seattle rower performs as well as it's built. The rower is equipped with an innovative Hydro-Power drive system that uses water as its primary resistance. This gives you an incredible "on the water" feel that's impossible to duplicate on a standard rowing machine. At the same time, the mechanical drive system is built to last, with such commercial-grade components as a water-tight polycarbonate tank, stainless-steel blades, high-impact rollers, industrial bearings, and high-tensile strength nylon and bungee cords. The result of the manufacturing process is a beautifully crafted rowing machine that lasts a lifetime.

Best of all for users with small homes, the Seattle rower is compact and convenient, with a frame that stores upright and out of the way when you're not rowing, including in a corner or closet. The Seattle Rower--which includes an easy-to-read oversized display--carries the following warranties: lifetime on the beech wood frame, three years on the polycarbonate tank and seals, and two years on mechanical and non-wearing components. The Seattle Wooden Rower has been designed and engineered to set new standards for form & function in the Fitness Industry. It is ideal for any space and application, including healthcare facilities, health clubs & home use. We start with hand selected kiln-dried European beech wood. All of the wood we use is the same premium grade quality used by high-end furniture manufacturers. The Seattle Wooden Rower employs an innovative Hydro-Power Drive system that mimics the dynamics of actual rowing, with a polycarbonate water tank and an internal paddle system sitting at your feet. Just like with real rowing, the water acts as the main resistance system. The workout is incredibly smooth and relaxing, with an on-the-water experience that feels and sounds just like the real thing.
