The WaterRower A1 Home Rowing Machine responds to the work applied, allowing constant effort through the whole stroke – unlike resistance based machines where effort is high at the beginning of the stroke and fades as the resistance is overcome. Calories are burned in relation to the number of muscles used and the intensity and duration of the exercise.

The WaterRower A1 Home Rower is designed with Ash wood treated in a clear Danish Oil and comes with a black steel mono-rail and a 5 button monitor imbedded in the footboard. The single Aluminum Monorail design and is fitted with the new basic A1 Monitor.
