Okay I'm not a big sports fan. Actually I hate running, swimming etc. I'm working on a computer all day and recently my back and left arm started to hurt. Doctor's verdict was not a surprise: "get some exercice, doh!"
I just needed to get some strength in my back. After looking at different solutions, none of which I really liked because I'm lazy, I tried a water rower at a local gym. Finally something that didn't involve running, or jumping around like a monkey all over the place. The price of the gym is almost that of a WaterRower, but then the ones they have aren't always available, and I don't like the cardio training stuff for a change (yeah I know cardio is good, but I'm not obese and I can still climb 5 floors with groceries without getting exhausted).

So anyways, I purchased this WaterRower because: 1) by trying one out I found water rowers are in fact a complete workout: almost every muscle and joint is put to work (legs, torso, arms, back, neck), 2) I don't like to pay to go to gym, 3) I can watch movies while rowing, 4) it's virtually silent: the wooden structure has no vibrations (unlike metal frame rowers), and the "swoosh" noise of the water is very low (unlike fan-rowers) and actually very relaxing (or I'm easily relaxed).

WaterRowers come in two boxes (super easy to assemble), and delivery time is about 10 days (no matter if you paid for a 2-day delivery, it goes ground, not air).

If you buy one of these, learn how to use it with someone who knows: there's the right way and the wrong way of using a rower. You can also find some useful advice from pros on youtube.
Enjoy.

Hello
My name is Xeno Muller. I have twenty of these machines at my indoor rowing studio and they work great for me. I love the quiet sound of water swishing around when strokes are taken. The WaterRowers are easy to move around to clear the floor. If you are interested in seeing what I do with the machines you can find me on youtube and my ironoarsman website. If you plan to row alone you may be interested in my downloadable workouts or DVDs that you can use for your rows.
All the best,
Xeno
