WaterRower have had twenty years to establish themselves as a leader in luxury home rowing machines. The unique Waterflywheel technology provides a much smoother exercise experience, by simulating the gentle flowing motion of rowing on the water, for a more comfortable and enjoyable workout.
The smoothness is a must, but for me, it has to be all about the looks!
Fashioned from American Red Oak by hand and finished with Danish oil for a beautiful sheen. Only 150 of these very special rowing machines will be released in the UK this summer, making them quite exclusive.
Rowing is one of the best forms of low impact cardiovascular exercise, ideal for the novice or expert, recruiting 84% of your muscles, and burning up to 1,000 calories per hour. Suitable for the whole family regardless of their fitness level this is an ideal piece of home fitness equipment.
Its stylish design will complement any environment and when not in use, it can be stored upright, taking up as little space as a dining room chair.
The Special Edition WaterRower Oak, RSP £999, will be available exclusively from John Lewis for one month from 7th June 2010. It will then also be available to purchase from Gym Company, Powerhouse and Fitness Superstore .
To compliment this realistic rower, the WaterWorkx Multi Gym is a delight. The world’s first multigym with natural water resistance for a smoother exercise experience and a wide choice of training options is finished handsomely in classic ash wood.
The soft sound of the water moving between the two interlocked cylinders of the patented water tank creates a natural and relaxing rhythm to help regulate training.
WaterWorkx can be used by anyone, from the beginner to the pro, as its resistance level is easily increased at the turn of a dial. The bench and accessories are just as simple to adjust, offering endless variations from a whole body workout to exercises which target specific muscle groups.
The WaterWorkx multigym retails from £2,199 including delivery and installation and is available from stockists or directly from WaterRower UK by calling 020 8749 9090. For more information about the WaterWorkx and WaterRower range please contact WaterRower UK on 020 8749 9090 or visit http://www.waterworkx.com

How many of us have an exercise bike somewhere, gathering dust, probably never made it over 50 miles despite the best of intentions?
Forget that Bike, this is something on a completely different level! The Trixter Xdream is a marvel of modern technology, engineering and (just what exercise really needs) Fun.
The only Exercise Bike in the world to use patented laterally moving X-Bar handlebars to accurately simulate the action of cycling outdoors. The extra movement that this demands will help burn off up to 55% more calories than a normal exercise bike. More importantly, this extra movement takes exercise bikes to another dimension. It’s not pedal, pedal, sweat, pedal. More Pedal, steer, pedal, steer, sweat buckets.
The fact you are in total command of your bike paired up with the latest computer programming gives you a Virtual, yet true, sensation of mountain biking. You can choose from over 400 different tracks and race with your on screen competitors.
Watch yourself, on the screen above the handlebars, trek through arid desert or densely forested highlands. Engaging Exercise, this is the way forward.
The Xdream is one of the most technologically advanced indoor bikes available to consumers and is the first fitness product to successfully integrate accurate real-life simulation, total body cardiovascular conditioning and a motivational personalised training programme.
The Trixter Xdream retails at £5,999 and is available from http://www.trixter.net. The Xdream bikes are now also available to use in Virgin Active and David LLoyd gyms nationwide.
