We choose the Fluid Rower or lets say, the costumer choose the Fluid Rower S500 for us!

 

In our Sports and Health clubs in the Netherlands, two suppliers of professional rowing machines installed one demo-machine each for a two week try-out period. One of them was a Fluid Rower S500 and both machines were setup next to each other in the main Fitness area. Our members had the opportunity to use the machines and write their conclusions on a list. The outcome was a big issue for us because in our company policy the opinion of our members is very important.  

 

The Winner

 

One machine came out asa clear winner, The Fluid Rower S500. The highest score was reached on all parts: comfort, feeling, ambiance and general impression. "what a silent and smooth machine" "a very comfortable seat and seating position" "the sound of the water really motivates to row" were a few of the enthusiastic reactions I captured from members.

 

Now we have two Fluid Rowers in our club and general members,athletes, seniors, kids and also patients recovering from injuries are using the machines daily.

 

We want to own a total of six Fluid Rowers when we re-open our Fitness area in this near future.

 

 

Conclusion

 

One point of improvement could be more options on the display, [editors note: already addressed in the E520 model, which has replaced the S500]  but because of the compact design, (length almost 50 cm less than the other rowing machine!) build quality, the nice sound of the water and  the smoothness of the machine, in my opinion FDF developed and builds the best rowing machine suitable for Sports and Health clubs. Especially when you look at the price quality relation, the Fluid Rowers are unbeatable...
