WaterRower M1 LoRise Rowing Machine with S4 BLE Monitor at FitnessZone

The WaterRower M1 LoRise Rowing Machine with S4 BLE Monitor is a full-commercial indoor rower designed for health clubs, hotels, apartment fitness centers, corporate gyms, training studios, athletic facilities, rehabilitation environments, and serious home gyms. American made since 1988, the M1 LoRise combines WaterRower’s natural water-resistance rowing experience with a durable powder-coated aluminum dual-rail frame, a lower 12-inch entry height, and modern Bluetooth workout connectivity.

The M1 LoRise sits lower to the floor than the M1 HiRise, with an entry point of approximately 300 mm / 12 inches compared with the HiRise at approximately 500 mm / 20 inches. This lower-profile design creates a sleek commercial appearance while maintaining the strength, stability, and smooth performance WaterRower users expect.

Smooth Water Resistance for a Natural Rowing Experience

The WaterRower M1 LoRise uses a water-resistance system designed to simulate the feel of rowing on water. Resistance responds naturally to the user’s effort, so rowing harder creates greater resistance while slower strokes produce a lighter feel.

This self-regulating resistance makes the M1 LoRise suitable for:

• Cardiovascular conditioning
• Full-body workouts
• Endurance training
• Interval and HIIT workouts
• Athletic conditioning
• Low-impact exercise
• Functional fitness
• General fitness and wellness programs

Rowing engages the legs, glutes, core, back, shoulders, and arms, making it an efficient option for total-body training.

S4 BLE Performance Monitor

The S4 BLE Performance Monitor comes standard on the WaterRower M1 LoRise and provides a broad range of workout feedback and training options.

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

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

The monitor allows users to follow key workout data throughout each rowing session and can support both casual exercise and more structured performance training.

Built-In Bluetooth Connectivity

The S4 BLE monitor includes Bluetooth functionality, allowing users to connect the WaterRower M1 LoRise with compatible indoor rowing apps.

Supported platforms include:

• WATERROWER CONNECT
• CITYROW

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

An optional Phone & Tablet Arm can also be added to position a smartphone or tablet within easy viewing distance during workouts.

Full-Commercial Aluminum Construction

The WaterRower M1 LoRise is built with a powder-coated aluminum frame designed for demanding commercial and residential environments.

Its dual-rail design helps provide stability and smooth seat travel, while the heavy-duty construction supports users up to 700 lbs.

This makes the M1 LoRise an excellent fit for facilities that need a durable indoor rower capable of handling a wide range of users.

Low-Profile 12-Inch Entry Height

One of the main differences between the M1 LoRise and M1 HiRise is seat and frame height.

The M1 LoRise has a lower entry point of approximately 12 inches / 300 mm, giving it a streamlined, low-profile appearance. This design is ideal for users and facilities that prefer a rower positioned closer to the floor.

The lower frame also makes the M1 LoRise easy to integrate into:

• Commercial fitness rooms
• Boutique training studios
• Home gyms
• Hotel fitness centers
• Apartment gyms
• Corporate wellness spaces

Built for a Wide Range of Users

The WaterRower M1 LoRise supports a maximum user weight of 700 lbs and accommodates users with an inseam up to approximately 40 inches / 101 cm.

Its combination of high user capacity, durable aluminum construction, and smooth water resistance makes it suitable for both individual workouts and high-traffic commercial use.

Standard 17-Inch Handle

All WaterRower M1 Series models are equipped with a standard 17-inch rowing handle.

The handle is designed to support a comfortable grip and natural upper-body positioning throughout the rowing stroke, helping users maintain consistent technique during longer training sessions.
