Anyone have a WaterRower?

[Anonymous]

We are thinking of getting one. Have had a treadmill for about 6 years, and it gets reasonably frequent use (about 6 times per week), so we don't just hang laundry on workout equipment. Would like something else that incorporates a more full-body cardio workout, but aren't interested in an elliptical. So, thinking of a rowing machine, and it looks like either WaterRower or Concept 2 are the way to go. Aesthetically, we prefer the WaterRower. If anyone has one, do you like it? Dislike it? Anything we should consider before buying? Thanks!

From a former rower, just consider that you'd need someone to teach how you to use it properly, if you don't already know how. It's not going to be a great workout unless you know what you're doing.

Concept 2 is the industry standard, but I've not compared it to the WaterRower.

My husband got one, I swear because he wants to be Frank Underwood. He really likes it, but, like all things, he was hard core for a few weeks and now might hop on once a week.

We ordered ours from Costco.com. We love it and very easily shipped to our house.

Concept 2 is the rower's choice. Agree you need someone to show you the proper form.
