Home Water Rowing Machines

The water rowing machine is the secret multi-talent of fitness equipment. If you want to achieve an effective full-body workout with just one piece of fitness equipment and increase both endurance and strength, a water rowing machine is the right choice. An indoor water rowing machine enables you to do your rowing workout regardless of the weather, without having to do without the natural sound of the water.

At first glance, the various rowing machines with water resistance differ in terms of material, foldability and the position and alignment of the water tank. But the length of the rail, the ergonomics, the computer, and the app compatibility are also decisive factors when buying a rowing machine with water resistance.

Why Water Resistance?

When you think of rowing, you associate the training directly with the sound of water and a closeness to nature. And that's where the water rower comes into play: the water provides a pleasant, authentic acoustic backdrop and a realistic rowing sensation. It is quite unique how the element water reacts to the pull force applied. Indoor rowing on a water rowing machine is a truly authentic experience!

Advantages of Water Rowing Machines

Rowing training with water has many positive effects on the whole body. At the same time, it offers several features and advantages over rowing machines with other types of resistance.

Indoor rowing uses up to 80 % of the body's muscle groups. The muscles in your back, upper arms and shoulders are targeted particularly intensively. In addition, depending on the phase of the rowing stroke, muscle groups in your abdomen, buttocks, thighs and calves and even the muscles in your fingers are also activated. In addition to effective muscle development and definition, the benefits also include an increase in general fitness and effective weight loss. Training with a water rowing machine is also extremely easy on your joints.

Another point in favour of buying a water rowing machine is its unique and modern look. Water rowing machines made of wood in particular look extremely chic and do not have to be hidden away. Folded or set up on end after training, water rowing machines integrate harmoniously and space-savingly into your home environment without being intrusive.

In addition to their appearance, the noise level also plays a decisive role. In direct comparison to other types of resistance, a rowing machine with water is much quieter. And at the same time, the sound is more pleasant, as you only hear the natural sound of the water during your workout.

With conscientious maintenance and care, water rowers are very durable and a faithful companion for many years. Especially rowing machines in studio quality like the Nemo IV or Nemo V impress with their robustness and durability.

And the fact that you can easily regulate the resistance by adjusting the amount of water in the tank is another reason to buy a rowing machine with water.

How Do You Adjust the Resistance of a Water Rower?

The resistance of a rowing machine with water can be easily regulated by the amount of water in the water tank. Note: The more water in the water tank, the greater the resistance. The markings on the tank indicate the different resistance levels, as well as the recommended minimum or maximum amount of water allowed in the tank. In this way, the resistance can be continuously and precisely adjusted to suit your training level.

What to Consider When Buying a Water Rowing Machine

There are a few points that should be taken into account when buying a water rowing machine.

1. Space Requirements and Storage

Will the rowing machine remain in one place, or will it have to be moved after your workout? If space is limited, foldable water rowing machines or water rowing machines with a vertical standing function are particularly suitable, as they can be stored in a space-saving way. Integrated transport wheels help you to move them.

2. Height and Rail Length

Taller people in particular should pay attention to the length of the rail in order to be able to perform the entire indoor rowing movement ergonomically. This helps to reduce the risk of injury, but also to fully exploit the training potential. The exact length of the rail and the recommended maximum user height can be found in the technical specifications.

3. Maximum User Weight

In addition to maximum height, the maximum user weight for water rowing machines also plays a role. This usually varies between 130-150 kg for Skandika water rowing machines. The maximum user weight provides information about the stability, quality and durability of a rowing machine with water.

4. Ergonomics & Comfort

This area primarily covers the seat, the footrests, and the pull bar. The seat should be ergonomically shaped and have comfortable padding. For the footrests, for example, the material and the fixation play a role in order to keep your feet constantly on the footrests during rowing training and to prevent them from slipping off. The distance between the footrests is also crucial for an ergonomically correct rowing workout. The pull bar should also have the necessary grip and ideally be sweat-resistant.

5. Training Computer & Programmes

The training computer provides information about the duration of the rowing workout, the number of strokes, the distance covered and the calories burned. Training programmes help you to pursue different training goals, such as losing weight or gaining muscle. The data and programmes are useful if you want to document your training progress. This also enhances your long-term motivation.

6. Bluetooth and App Compatibility

If you want to train with fitness apps like Kinomap, make sure that your water rowing machine has a Bluetooth interface.

7. Customer Service

Even if you have bought the best rowing machine and even though water rowing machines generally require very little maintenance, something may still go wrong, or questions may arise.
