It displays workout intensity, stroke rate, heart rate, zone bar, duration, and distance. Pair it with the optional WaterRower heart rate receiver to add a great dimension to your training!Water resistance acts like real rowing: the faster you pull, the more difficult it gets. You can also adjust the resistance in your WaterRower by changing the level of water in the tank (the more water, the harder the workout).

The Series 4 Performance Monitor has been designed to balance technical sophistication with user-friendliness. The monitor has six information and programming windows, six QuickSelection buttons, and three navigation buttons.

The Club in Ash (S4) is designed for equally gorgeous look and performance. Every detail complements the overall aesthetic and performance of this unparalleled machine. Built in America, the Club in Ash (S4) is a product of modern European design. It has been designed for high-traffic areas such as gyms, studios, and rehab clinics. Its black rails have been styled to prevent scuffing; other wooden components are finished in attractive rosewood, which is more resistant to soiling than the natural model. Each machine has been hand-finished with Danish Oil, which lends a deep warmth and luster. Wood has been chosen for its marvelous engineering properties; primary amongst these is its ability to absorb sound and vibration, which enhances the Club in Ash (S4)'s quietness and smoothness of use. Ash, like all woods used in WaterRower construction, is a premium hardwood with incredible longevity and dimensional stability. For reasons of ecology, all woods are harvested from renewable forests. The frame is more than stylish; it holds up to 2,200 lbs!

The benefit of a water resistance rower is that it most closely simulates a boat moving through water. Rowing resistance comes from the effect of fluid drag acting on the boat; in other words, resistance increases according to stroke rate. The patented WaterFlywheel emulates this naturally self-paced benefit of rowing. This is a workout with immediate benefits, regardless of your level of experience! Please also note that you can adjust the workout intensity by changing the amount of water in the tank. The more water, the higher the effort level required.

The Natural in Ash (S4)'s ergonomically molded seat sits on two rails, with eight precision-crafted wheels for flawless rolling motion.

The tank of the Natural in Ash (S4) is made from polycarbonate, one of the strongest plastics available. It is virtually indestructible. The tank is sealed and can be filled with municipal water via a small opening closed by a stopper. This water typically contains enough chlorine to remain clear for some time. After exposure to light, the chlorine will degrade; the chlorine tablets included free with purchase should be added periodically.

The handle is made of aluminum for strength and lightness, with a tear-drop shape that fits comfortably into the palm of the hand to minimize wrist torque (a common cause of tendonitis). Because of its strength and lightness, the drive strap is high-density polyester webbing, guided by nylon pulleys. The drive strap does not wear and is maintenance-free, requiring no messy lubrication.

The footboard incorporates an all-new floating heel-rest design. The cup of the heel rest follows the heel as it rises from the footboard, providing stability and comfort from the beginning to end of each stroke. The heel-rest position is adjusted simply by pressing the central button to disengage the lock pins securing the footpads.
