Group Training with WaterRower
Structured rowing formats that adapt to time, distance, stroke rate and effort for engaging, repeatable group sessions.
Built to Move Together
WaterRower brings rhythm, intensity and full body movement to the group training environment.
From dedicated rowing classes to sessions combining cardio, strength and floor exercises, WaterRower provides an adaptable foundation for engaging and effective group workouts.
Every participant controls their own intensity, allowing people with different fitness levels to train together within the same session.
One Movement. The Entire Body.
Rowing engages 84 percent of the body’s muscle mass through one coordinated movement.
The legs create power, the core transfers it and the upper body completes the stroke. This makes WaterRower particularly effective within time efficient group sessions, combining cardiovascular conditioning and muscular engagement in every repetition.
As a seated and low impact exercise, rowing can also provide an alternative to more repetitive forms of cardio training.
Resistance That Responds to Every Participant
The WaterFlywheel automatically responds to the effort of the person rowing.
A gentle stroke produces lighter resistance. As the participant applies more power, the resistance increases naturally.
There are no resistance levels for an instructor to set between participants. Everyone can follow the same workout while controlling their own speed and intensity.
This makes WaterRower suitable for mixed ability classes, where beginners and experienced athletes can train alongside one another.
Made for Group Formats
WaterRower can become the focus of a complete rowing class or form part of a wider circuit.
Sessions can move between rowing intervals, strength exercises, mobility work and high intensity floor training. Coaches can programme workouts around distance, time, stroke rate or effort, creating formats that are easy to understand and simple to adapt.
The smooth rhythm of the rowing stroke and the sound of moving water also create a distinctive shared experience across the room.
Proven Through Orangetheory Fitness
WaterRower is used within Orangetheory Fitness studios around the world.
The Orangetheory format combines rowing with treadmill intervals and strength work on the studio floor. WaterRower provides the full body conditioning element, allowing participants to develop power, endurance and stamina within a coach led group session.
Its role within Orangetheory demonstrates how WaterRower can be successfully integrated into a repeatable, scalable and engaging group fitness format.
Connected Group Training
Compatible WaterRower monitors can provide clear performance information during each session.
Distance, time, power, split and stroke rate can be used to structure individual efforts, partner workouts and class challenges.
Bluetooth connectivity also opens up options for workout recording, connected apps and wider digital training experiences. Our team can help identify the most appropriate monitoring and connectivity solution for your group format.
Designed for the Training Floor
WaterRower offers several practical advantages for group training environments.
The self regulated resistance makes transitions between users straightforward. The machines operate without motors and require no external power for standard use, giving operators greater flexibility when planning the studio floor.
Selected WaterRower models can also be stored upright when the space is needed for other activities.
Commercial configurations, raised entry heights and connected performance options are available for different facilities and class formats.
