by

Mr. Captain Red Walnut Rowing Machine simulates a real ship, and the natural water resistance will bring you a feeling of a real-life outdoor rowing experience. The actual red walnut wood makes the machine firm and durable. Please note that the wood might have natural grains and slight color differences.

As it comes with an ergonomic seat, active recoil system, and height-adjustable footplates with straps, you’ll make the most out of your workout. It operates quietly, with mostly just the swooshing sound of the water.

Mr. Captain Red Walnut rower comes equipped with a customizable Bluetooth monitor – You can also set up three modes: Manual, Interval Custom, and Target. It’ll help you manage your time and accomplish your exercise goal easier.

The Mr. Captain Red Walnut rower is not far different in terms of design and features than the Mr. Captain Vintage Oak that I’ve already covered here. It’s also pretty similar to the WaterRower models, and since this brand is relatively new (in 2020) to the market, it’s quite a bit cheaper than the WaterRower models.
