WRX500 FAQ

Water resistance is the key principle that enables the WRX500 rowing machine to provide an especially realistic rowing experience – similar to rowing on real water. Instead of mechanical or magnetic resistance, the machine uses a water tank with 16 specially shaped turbine blades that rotate through the water with every rowing stroke.

The harder and faster you pull, the greater the resistance. This means your workout automatically adapts to your intensity and fitness level – without any manual adjustment.

Yes, the WRX500 is Bluetooth-compatible and can be connected to the Sportstech Live app. The app is available for Android and iOS and enables interactive, data-driven workouts.

Yes, the WRX500 can be stored vertically, even when there is water in the tank. This allows you to store the rowing machine without taking up much space, without having to empty the tank first.

Body height 1.60–1.90 m: the WRX500 is suitable for users from 1.60 m to 1.90 m tall.

The WRX500 water tank holds 12 liters (tank 12 liters / Tank 12 Liter). Only distilled water should be used to ensure the tank and components have a long service life.

The granulate included with the WRX500 is for the water in the tank. You are welcome to add it to the water when you fill the tank for the first time.
