Why choose a Fluid Indoor Rower when you could have a concept2 ?
I spend most of my life training in the gym, which up until now has been dominated by the Concept 2 indoor rower, that is until now !!!!

Advantages: well made, great water sound, no slip or slack, great seat hight, very solid Disadvantages: Interactive monitor not as advanced as concept 2,
...ache.
My first few strokes on the Fluid Rower convinced me I was going to buy it, the instant grab and resistance, the swish and swoosh of the water, it felt perfect.
Interactive monitor isnt as good as the concept 2 for features, but would rather have a good rowing machine than upload gimick figures to forums !!!
Very easy to put together with some good videos on you tube under fluid rower.
Why choose a Fluid Indoor Rower when you could have a concept2 ?
I spend most of my life training in the gym, which up until now has been dominated by the Concept 2 indoor rower, that is until now !!!!
Compare the concept 2 and its air system and the initial resistance is poor you almost get a few inches of stroke before the concept 2 rower starts to bite, then once you over come that initial force it then peaks and almost turns using its own force, almost free wheeling the large fan wheel. The stroke on the fluid Rower is there no wait, no slip and no slack, just constant force, when you stop your stroke the fluid rower stops.
Im a big guy at 6ft 3" the Fluid Rower is rock steady and even giving the machine a real pounding, it doesnt budge and the seat doesnt lift and rock and roll.
The Fluid Rower seat has got to be the most comfy rower you can park your bum on, also the seat is the height of a normal office desk chair, making it very easty to get on and off. The foot rests were bang on and not to wide apart, with no slip material and comfy straps, you can row with or with out trainers, I love to row bare feet in the hotter months.
The handle on the Fluid Rower is so much better than the concept 2 rower, it doesn’t look or feel cheap and has a nice weight to it and felt balanced in my hands. It has a nice shape and I certainly didnt suffer any wrist ache.

Advantages: cheaper than a concept 2, can be stood on its end to save space. Disadvantages: you need to fill with water !!!!
I have been looking at getting fir after suffering with a bad back. Wanted something that I could use to exercise my whole body. I dont really care for swiming so looked at various fitness and gym equipment and settled for a indoor rowing machine. I like the fluid rower as it made a really nice swishing sound as you row as the resistance is water based. As you row you getting the sound of water almost as if you were at sea. The build quality is very ... ...together, before I had made my purchase I had watched several vieos on utube and also did a lot of research. For detaild information check out fluid-rower.com where you can download all the instruction manuals all full specs. I like the electronic readout and you get set distance stroke per minute, 500m time and also calories burnt etc. The seat is very good and doesnt hurt your bottom at all, I have size 11 feet and the foot plates you rest your ...

Manufacturer's product description
For some people rowing is more than an exercise, it's a sport, a passion, a source of enjoyment and expression of self. For them, nothing compares to the pleasure of the exercise, the natural experience of man against the elements. This is the essence that First Degree Fitness have distilled and bottled for the world to enjoy!Designed for use in health clubs the Fluid Circuit Rower offers a multitude of unique features that make it the best choice for any environment. With a foot print more like that of a recumbent exercise bike, it actually fits into a line of cardiovascular equipment, being taller and shorter than other rowers.Resistance adjustment is achieved by the flick of a lever. The rowing stroke is smoothed by the momentum effect of the stainless steel flywheel/impeller. Special attention to detail includes: a user friendly computer with auto start and one button reset (right where you can see it), quick adjust heel support (change in a flash with one hand), office chair seat height for easy entry and exit, natural ergonomics, and a range of resistance sufficient to meet the needs of any exerciser. All this is supported by a Limited 5 Year Warranty in commercial applications.
