Question 1

WaterRower brand of rowers

Answer 1

Because of its unique nature of being self-propelled and low impact, it’s sure to give all levels of members the ability to build power and strength, something we tend to lose as we age. As our creator Ellen Latham says, “It’s the lighter fluid on our workouts!”

Our rowers are “connected” and feature OTconnect – our proprietary technology that allows members to track their results in real-time on the console display. OTconnect on the rower includes stored programs that may be used during certain Templates. Members will need to wear an Orangetheory heart rate monitor and log-in while using the rower in order to get personalized data and information. After class their second-by-second data graphs (found in our mobile app) will provide them with details about their time spent on the connected rower.
