WaterRower Club NO Computer

Advantages: Many
Disadvantages: Few

...of WaterRower (UK) Ltd – the machines are not made by anyone else and can only be purchased in this country through specialist exercise equipment retailers. There are four different designs of Water Rower, each available with or without a computer support system. These machines are superior pieces of equipment that simply ooze quality – all the rowers are manufactured to the highest standards, and the stylish wood frames are available in four different types of wood (Black Ash, Oak Stained Ash, Cherry Wood and Black Walnut).
