"The entire WaterRower Team is thrilled to announce Sergeant Ken as our Director of Education," said David Jones, Director of Sales and Marketing for WaterRower North America.

WaterRower maintains its strong history as an American fitness brand. Starting with their invention of the water-resistant rowing erg in 1988, for over 30 years WaterRower has handcrafted each rowing machine within their Rhode Island manufacturing facilities.

Each of WaterRower's assortment of wooden and metal rowing machines are designed with their unique WaterFlywheel, providing an authentic, on-water rowing experience for fitness enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. From the first stroke, users enjoy a smooth, natural resistance and inspiring on-water sound that cannot be experienced on air or magnetic rowers.

It is a full-body, high-calorie burn developed to deliver increased health and exercise benefits with maximum gain and minimal investment of time.
