WaterRower M1 HiRise Rowing Machine with S4 BLE Monitor at FitnessZone

The WaterRower M1 HiRise Rowing Machine with S4 BLE Monitor is a full-commercial indoor rower designed for health clubs, training studios, rehabilitation settings, corporate fitness centers, hospitality facilities, and serious home gyms. Made in the USA, the M1 HiRise combines WaterRower’s signature water-resistance rowing experience with a durable powder-coated aluminum dual-rail frame, elevated 20-inch seat height, and modern Bluetooth workout tracking.

Compared with the lower-profile M1 LoRise, the M1 HiRise features a higher 500 mm / 20-inch entry point, making it easier for many users to get on and off the machine. This elevated design can be especially useful in commercial environments where accessibility, stability, and ease of use are important.

Smooth Water Resistance for a Natural Rowing Feel

The WaterRower M1 HiRise uses a water flywheel system designed to create smooth, self-regulating resistance. As the user rows harder, resistance increases naturally, helping create a workout experience that more closely resembles rowing on water.

This makes the M1 HiRise suitable for a wide range of training styles, including:

• Cardiovascular conditioning
• Full-body endurance workouts
• Interval training
• Low-impact exercise
• Athletic conditioning
• Functional fitness
• Rehabilitation and recovery-focused training

Rowing engages multiple major muscle groups, including the legs, glutes, core, back, shoulders, and arms, making the WaterRower M1 HiRise an efficient option for total-body conditioning.

S4 BLE Performance Monitor

The S4 BLE Performance Monitor comes standard on the WaterRower M1 HiRise and provides essential workout data along with advanced training options.

Users can perform quick-start sessions or choose structured workouts based on:

• Time
• Distance
• Training zones
• Workout intensity
• Performance goals

The monitor provides in-workout performance feedback so users can track progress and adjust training intensity throughout each session.

Built-In Bluetooth Connectivity

The S4 BLE monitor includes Bluetooth connectivity, allowing the WaterRower M1 HiRise to connect with compatible indoor rowing apps.

Compatible platforms include:

• WATERROWER CONNECT
• CITYROW

Bluetooth connectivity gives users additional options for workout tracking, guided training, and interactive rowing experiences.

For added convenience, an optional Phone & Tablet Arm can be added to position a mobile device within easy viewing distance during workouts.

Commercial-Grade Aluminum Construction

The WaterRower M1 HiRise is built around a strong powder-coated aluminum frame designed for demanding commercial and residential training environments.

Its dual-rail frame design provides stability during high-intensity rowing sessions while supporting users up to 700 lbs.

At approximately 87.5 inches long and 22.25 inches wide, the M1 HiRise delivers commercial durability while maintaining a relatively streamlined footprint.

Elevated 20-Inch Seat Height

One of the defining features of the M1 HiRise is its elevated frame.

The rowing seat sits approximately 20 inches from the floor, compared with the lower M1 LoRise design. The higher entry point can make sitting down and standing up easier for many users, while maintaining the familiar WaterRower rowing motion.

This makes the M1 HiRise especially attractive for:

• Commercial gyms
• Physical therapy and wellness facilities
• Senior fitness environments
• Corporate fitness centers
• Hotels and resorts
• Home users who prefer a higher seat position

Designed for a Wide Range of Users

The WaterRower M1 HiRise supports users up to 700 lbs and accommodates a maximum inseam of approximately 40 inches / 101 cm.

The combination of a high user-weight capacity, dual-rail construction, elevated frame, and smooth water resistance makes it a versatile option for facilities serving users of different sizes and fitness levels.

Standard 17-Inch Handle

All WaterRower M1 Series models come equipped with a standard 17-inch rowing handle. The handle is designed to provide a comfortable grip while supporting a natural rowing motion through the drive and recovery phases of each stroke.
