First Degree S500 Fluid Rower
Water Resistance Rower (Suitable for home/commercial use)
The revolutionary rower from First Degree Fitness is now available
in the UK for the first time. The list of features that come with this unique
rower are impressive, but I (Pete) have the feeling the Fluid Circuit
Rower from First Degree Fitness is set to be a dominant
player in the commercial market as well as the domestic market where discerning
users will appreciate the incredible quality of build and smoothness of operation.
The Fluid Circuit Rower by First Degree Fitness
combines the smoothness and benefits of the Water Rower With
the style, durability and variable resistance of the Concept
II. In Fact, Where the Concept II and Fluid
Circuit Rower are displayed side by side we have found the Fluid
Circuit Rower wins hands down every time .
There are 20 levels of resistance on the Fluid Circuit
Rower with level 17 being equivalent to the Concept
II level 10, so there's plenty to spare for even the strongest
and most demanding of users.
Enough from me, here's what the Manufacturers First Degree Fitness
say about the Fluid Circuit Rower -
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.
Smooth 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 details include: 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.
- 20 levels of resistance are available with the patented
Fluid Circuit.

Cadence Coach
The built-in Cadence Coach is the secret to smooth rowing
and consistent training stroke rate. Fluid within the resistance chamber is
circulated vertically to maximise the smoothness of the stroke, a minimum cadence
(or stroke rate) is required. This allows the momentum of the flywheel to be
maintained against the resistance of the fluid.
Many trainers use the resulting cadence to time their stoke rate. The "catch"
phase of the rowing action feels remarkably similar to actual, outdoor rowing.
The minimum stroke rate this engenders encourages the user to exercise at a reasonable
level.
To use this unique feature, just choose a resistance level (between 1-20) that
allows you to maintain the Cadence Coach stroke rate (about 20-24 strokes per
minute). If you find it difficult, simply lower the resistance level until you
feel comfortable.
