About Inside Indoor Partner WaterRower

Their rowing machines, which use water resistance and are widely regarded as the most realistic simulator of an on-water rowing experience, making them a popular choice for home rowers and increasingly commonplace in gyms nationwide.
History
The WaterRower was invented in 1988 by John Duke, a Yale University engineer and USA Rowing National Team candidate. Mr Duke had two principles leading his design.
Firstly, to replicate the experience of rowing in a boat, aiming to bring the sound, resistance, and physiological benefits of rowing to a wider audience. Secondly, to create a piece of “Fitness Furniture” with an aesthetic that would complement a residential setting and would be favoured as a piece of art or furniture, as well as fitness equipment. This inspiration was taken from the sparse elegance of Shaker furniture, renowned for being beautiful, well-made objects that could be used in everyday life. Central to this was manufacturing from wood. Hand-built; all timber used in the manufacture of wooden WaterRower rowing machines, sourced from sustainably managed hardwood forests in the Appalachian Mountains.
Offering a low impact, full-body workout that can be used by all skill levels, the WaterRower is acclaimed not only for its exercise benefits but also as an outstanding design innovation.

This includes 'Performance Erg Features' such as the built-in SmartRow technology.
The WaterRower has a WaterFlyWheel inside a sealed drum. Each stroke moves a paddle which cups the moving water and creates a natural, self-regulating resistance.
The WaterRower is designed to recreate the feel and sounds of being on water that you would experience in a rowing boat. It is generally very quiet, with the only noise being the sloshing of water in the drum.
Adjustable foot rests allow for quick and easy sizing for a range of feet sizes.
