The WaterRower Oak rowing machine is skillfully made of solid oak wood with Danish oil finishing.  S4 Performance Monitor is available on it. Wood is an excellent material for this application since it can absorb sound and vibration, which helps to ensure the WaterRower operates quietly and smoothly. Every WaterRower, including the Oak, has the unique WaterFlywheel technology installed, which is unmatched in its capacity to simulate the resistance encountered when rowing on the water.

The S4 Monitor shows intensity in watts, Kcalories per hour, /500m (time per 500 meters), mph (mile per hour), watts per second, and m/s (meters per second). It shows the distance in meters, kilometers, and miles; heart rate (with an optional heart rate attachment); the number of strokes and their duration; and stroke rate.

How Works:

• The goal of the rowing exercise is to replicate the exact dynamics of a boat moving through the water with the WaterRower's patented WaterFlywheel.
• The result is a workout that remarkably resembles the "real thing," including
• Naturally Self-Paced: People of any age, gender, size, or fitness level can row.
• Resistance on the WaterRower is naturally self-regulating; the patented WaterFlywheel adjusts resistance based on the user's intensity.
• The muscle groups are worked equally and in proportion to their strength with the "Naturally Even Stroke."
• Natural Fluid Connection: Unlike traditional mechanical rowers, there is no jerking or jarring.
• Naturally Beneficial for the Back- fortifies the back muscles and posture
