Designed for gym use but perfect for the home user, the WaterRower Gronk M1 Hi-Rise Rowing Machine can withstand up to 700 pounds (317 kg). The Gronk Mi Hi-Rise quality is unsurpassed, and the machine is for users up to 6’7″ (201 cm). If you’re taller than this, you may miss out on the full range of motion this unit offers.
Older users will find that the rowing seat is slightly higher than the standard, with an overall height of 20″ for the machine. A higher position allows users to get on and off the machine with less strain. The M1’s comfort is superb, with the pulling handle and seat both adequately padded. The grips on the pulling handle are firm and textured to prevent slippage when rowing.
When it’s time to begin rowing, you’ll need to fill the water reservoir before rowing for the first time. Inside the water, the flywheel is “paddles” that allow for a swish of water, much as you would experience on the water. And when you row faster, the resistance level is increased automatically. The M1 water resistance allows for limitless strength and fitness potential.
With near-silent construction, you can use the M1 at all times of the day and night without fear of waking up your kids, wife, or husband. The M1 also features the famous S4 monitoring system that most high-end models offer. In addition, users can store up to 9 manual programs, connect to a PC to download apps, use zone features, and do much more right on the S4.
