Jerry Scott - Retired Graphics Designer/Writer

I am 65 years old and brand new of the world of exercise. Golf during the summer, an occasional walk and general outside around-the-house activities were the extent of my fitness regimen. As I got older, I could feel myself losing strength and stamina each day so I began looking for a way to improve my overall health and fitness. I wanted something that would be convenient, effective and not take a lot of time each day out of my busy retirement schedule! I found it in the WaterRower. A beautifully designed and built piece of ultra-smooth exercise equipment that could give me an excellent workout without any stress or impact on my joints. An exerciser with no metallic buzz or whine, just the relaxing swish of water. And, as a bonus, I could do the whole thing sitting down… now you’re talking! I was sold … but my wife was not. She liked the design, the features, the sound of the water, but was not convinced I would use it. She reminded me of the inexpensive hydraulic piston rower I bought years ago. I used it about a week and sold it a week later. Rowing on that thing was drudgery. She was afraid I’d have the same experience again with the WaterRower. Frankly, that thought was in the back of my mind too as I called in my order.

The WaterRower arrived, I put it all together, filled the tank to “17”, stood back and admired it for a moment and started rowing. My plan was to take it slow, 10 minutes a day until I could build the stamina to do more. In no time, I was rowing a strong steady 20 minutes a day. I not only could feel my strength and stamina improve, I could actually SEE it improve as well because of the information displayed on its S4 monitor.

The WaterRower is a marvel and a lifesaver. I hope to enjoy the benefits of mine for years to come.

P.S. My wife loves rowing as well!
