WaterRower S1

Review submitted on 7th May 2010 by paul macleod

I had the wooden water rower which was also great, decided to upgrade and its more than great, does the same job as the wooden version, I feel better leaving it in the upright position, fits in perfectly with the rest of my equipment and does the job that the manufactures proclaim it does. Pete did a great job in getting is sent to Dubai also reducing the cost by quite a bit ! Thanks.

Excellent Rower

Review submitted on 6th August 2010 by Chris

The WaterRower is well reviewed elsewhere but I will add mine to the long list if only to confirm this is an expensive but quality piece of engineering that will obviously last a lifetime. The rower is easy to assemble and arrives in 2 boxes. I had it up and running in 20mins. The action of the rower is smooth and responds well to pressure - if you shut your eyes it really feels like rowing a real boat! Also as mentioned on other reviews the noise it makes is really nice - sort of a sloshing noise that is actually atmospheric. All I need is 1-2kms a day before my shower and I am all set. My only quibbles - and they are small - is that the foot straps and rests are not very effective and I find that they rub or come loose too easily - I will most likely change them at some point. The only other point is that as a very "broad" person the spacing of the feet and width of the hand bar is very slightly too narrow. But to be honest these are extreme quibbles. All in all an excellent buy from a great supplier.

Firstly I'm no Gym addict, I bought the Rower because I work shifts and have a young family and although I enjoy the gym cant I find I cant always get there. I've used a concept but decided that it was just to big to keep in the house and didnt want to leave a £900+ piece of equipment in the garage. After lots of research I decide on a WaterRower and boy did I make the right choice!! Firstly it looks great I keep it in the dining room as upright it takes up hardly room. Secondly it gives me a great workout, Ive had it almost a month and I'm up to 7000mtrs 4 times a week and feel so much better. Plus Gymratz gave me great advice when I bought the machine. All in all great machine and great service!

Same price as John Lewis but free heart rate kit

WaterRower OXBRIDGE

Review submitted on 4th May 2010 by John Samson

I recently purchased a Waterrower Oxbridge from Gym Ratz after visiting John Lewis and finding Gym Ratz offered the same price and warranty along with next day delivery and the added incentive of a genuine water rower heart rate receiver box and chest strap (which I was going to buy anyway).
When I spoke to the staff at Gym Ratz I found them very honest and full of helpful information and advice without trying to pressure me into a sale.
I am delighted with my rower and the extras that came with it making my purchase so much better value.
Thank you
J. Samson

My WaterRower just arrived. The product build quality is fantastic, and looks every bit as good as I hoped. I especially want to thank GymRatZ for all their helpful advice, for organising delivery to France and for answering all my emails so promptly and efficiently. Thanks GymRatz !!!

An excellent piece of fitness equipment which is actually relaxing to use, but you feel it's working when you finish your stint on it. Like the idea of linking the computer to the machine. Not having big rooms, it blends in well and stands against the wall if needed, taking little space! Easy enough to put together. You certainly get your moneys worth. Having looked at all sorts of rowers this to me wins. Many thanks to the guys at Gymratz who dont come with the hardsell but factual friendly service.

The finest rowing machine I've used

Having had a Series III WaterRower and now the Series IV Water Rower at home I can only say I still look forward to hopping on and pulling off 8Km. The design is timeless and being able to store by simply standing on it's end is fantastic. By far the best bit of fitness equipment ever created.

Superb product & service

Review submitted on 14th December 2010 by Andrew

All went to plan, as advertised and I've already knocked 10% of my best km time, in just 5 days. Machine is top quality and easy to build though I had a hiccup with the belts and pulleys. Soon fixed by reference to the manufacturers website where I found all I wanted to know in the "replace clutch" document.

Looking fwd to using www.we-row.com which is has been in maintenance mode - but now looks to be sorted.

Yippee !
