Rowing as if you were on the water
Rowing with a Fluid Rower sounds; feels and looks like you are on the water thanks to the high-quality water tank with patented Twin Tank technology. This unique system easily lets you adjust the resistance of the water at any time using the dial.
Adjustable Fluid Resistance
The Fluid Rower’s water tank consists of two separate tanks: an inner tank and an outer tank. The inner tank is the ‘passive tank’ or storage tank; while the outer tank is the ‘active tank’ or resistance tank. If you select a higher resistance with the dial while rowing; the water is moved from the passive tank to the active tank. As a result; you experience more resistance after a few rowing strokes. If you choose a lower resistance; the water is siphoned from the active tank back to the passive tank so you experience less resistance after a few strokes.
Lifetime warranty on the water tank for home use
You experience fast and smooth resistance adjustment while you exercise; and never have to determine the water amount in the tank in advance. The patented Fluid Resistance Twin Tank has been perfected and refined down to the last detail: if the water limit is not exceeded; the tank never leaks. Not even if you place it upright. Therefore you receive a lifetime warranty (25 years) on the water tank for home use.
The Apollo Pro XL has an XL Twin Tank as its driving force. It has a larger water capacity than the regular Twin Tank; offering a staggering 65% more resistance. It also connects the water resistance dial to the Bluetooth Monitor via a sensor.
Fluid Bluetooth Monitor: real-time insight into your rowing stroke
The Fluid Bluetooth Monitor gives instant insight into all your training parameters such as time; watts; calories; distance and rowing strokes per minute. In addition; the monitor automatically displays the resistance level you set via the dial on the rower. You can also connect to training apps such as Fluid Connect; Regatta; Asensei; EXR and Kinomap using Bluetooth.
The so-called Power Graph is a unique feature of the Fluid Bluetooth Monitor. This graph shows your rowing stroke in real time. You can use that information to perfect your rowing technique. The better your technique; the more you get out of your workout! In fact; the ideal rowing stroke consists of six steps that make up one smooth repetitive cyclical movement.
Do you want to train by heart rate? Then connect the monitor through Bluetooth to a digital heart rate monitor (sold separately) or let the trainer read your heart rate directly through the Touch Heart Rate Handle (sold separately).
Ultimate comfort; stability and balance while rowing
The details of a Fluid Rower make all the difference. For example; our seat guarantees the most comfortable rowing training. After years of research and development; we have found the perfect balance between hard and soft. Thanks to the well-thought-out; ergonomic shape and non-slip texture; you sit firmly yet comfortably in the seat. The seat is raised for easy access; and comfort can be additionally enhanced with a Fluid seat back kit and elevation kit.
For extra stability; the seat rides on a dual rail. The double-bearing wheels under the seat ride smoothly over two plastic strips attached to both rails. This prevents wear and tear; resulting in an always silent rowing experience: you won’t hear any sound other than the ‘whoosh’ of the moving water.
Small brushes are attached behind the seat wheels. These sweep the rails with every rowing movement and prevent dust particles from the rails from sticking to the wheels. This keeps every rowing motion fluid.
Each foot firmly in place
The footplates are height-adjustable and feature two sturdy; separate foot straps that allow you to individually secure each foot. Your feet are close together; just like in a real rowing boat. Both footplates also feature a specially designed ‘bucket’ at the bottom. Thanks to its design; this heel support fits perfectly around the heel of your shoe and moves with you during every rowing movement. As a result; your foot will never slip off while rowing.
Premium ergonomic handle for a good grip and correct posture
The Fluid Rower Apollo Pro XL has a premium ergonomic handle. Thanks to its slightly curved and extra-wide shape; it provides the best grip during every rowing stroke. Your body automatically assumes the best posture so you can apply the most force. The handle is connected to a nylon belt: strong; quiet and stable. The strength of the bungee; the elastic band that pulls the belt back; has been optimised so that it doesn’t add resistance but still smoothly pulls the belt back into the trainer as soon as you move forward. This is done in one smooth movement; without the bungee giving a pulling sensation or the belt ‘stuttering’ during this movement.
Tank frame effortlessly withstands the most powerful rowing stroke
The extra-thick and sturdy steel frame above the tank absorbs the most force during exercise. That’s because you push off on the footplate and pull on the pulley at the front of the frame using the cord. Because this frame consists of one part curved steel on the Fluid Rower Apollo Pro XL; it prevents squeaks and creaks and feels super sturdy. This allows you to exercise as intensively as you want on a Fluid Rower without worrying about breaking anything.
Finished your workout? Then simply set your Fluid Rower aside. The centre of gravity is at the front of the trainer; so it is very easy to tilt. Thanks to the bearings and soft transport wheels; you can move your rowing trainer effortlessly and never damage your floor.
Made of durable steel and American ash wood
The Apollo Pro XL combines the best of both worlds: the sturdiness of steel and the robust look of wood. The frame at the water tank is steel; while the rest of the rower is made of strong and durable American ash wood. The wood has been sanded and varnished twice for extra protection; even during the most intense workouts. Each threaded hole in the wooden frame is fitted with a metal bushing. This prevents the wood from splitting or the screw from overturning during assembly and the rowing trainer from losing its sturdiness over time. Every detail of the Fluid Rower has been optimised for intensive and long-term use.
Suitable for all training levels
As far as we are concerned; rowing without adjustable resistance is like driving a car without gears. That is why each Fluid Rower is equipped with the patented Twin Tank with a dial that allows you to easily adjust the resistance. This makes the rower suitable for all training levels. Whether you’re going for a light cardio workout or a high-intensity workout; it can all be done on the same rowing machine.
Engineerded to perfection
Years of experience and expertise have allowed us to develop each Fluid Rower to perfection. This is reflected; for example; in our unique resistance system. With most other rowing trainers with water resistance; people experience uneven resistance. This is because there is hardly any resistance at the start of each rowing stroke; a spike occurs right in the middle and the resistance disappears again at the end. Fluid Rowers have an ‘instant catch’ thanks to a modification in the blade of the water tank. This means that resistance is felt continuously with every rowing stroke; from start to finish.
