WaterRower Classic is made for home use. The stylish wooden frame makes it look like a piece of fine wooden furniture. Setup and maintenance of this machine are minimal: all you need to do is fill the tank with water and then every couple of years add a chlorine tablet (included with your purchase). The more water you have in the tank, the more resistance you will get, so I would advise beginners to fill it up gradually.

Like every other WaterRower rowing machines, The Classic runs on a patented WaterFlyWheel to simulate actual rowing on water giving its users a composed and enjoyable rowing experience. The WaterRower Classic is hand crafted in solid American Black Walnut. Like all woods, Black Walnut may vary in color from a rich brown to purple-black. Each machine has been hand finished with three coats of Danish Oil giving a deep lustre an warmth to the wood.

The Classic from WaterRower weighs around 108 pounds. Its dimension of 83x22x21 inches makes it very compact and ideal for home use. It can withstand a user weight of 1,000 pounds. The machine comes with a very basic but useful monitor that displays your speed, distance, time, and stroke rate. You can buy a more advanced monitor to use with the Classic.

Performance monitor Series 4

The WaterRower Classic is outfitted with a Series 4 performance monitor that’s designed to balance technical sophistication with user-friendliness. The monitor–which includes six information and programming windows, six QuickSelection buttons, and three navigation buttons–displays your workout intensity, stroke rate, heart rate, zone bar, duration, and distance. Plus, the monitor is compatible with an optional heart rate chest strap and receiver, which helps you optimize your workout and achieve your exercise objectives.

There is also a tracking monitor that measures the distance, your time, rowing speed and even the number of strokes. You can easily plan your routine with these stats in hand.

Rowing Machines Workout Benefits

From a fitness perspective, the WaterRower Classic works 84 percent of your muscle mass, helping tone and strengthen your muscles while burning far more calories than most other aerobic machines. The exercise is also low impact, as it removes all the body weight from the ankles, knees, and hips, but still moves the limbs and joints through a full range of motion–from completely extended to completely contracted.
