Fluid Rower® - the company First Degree Fitness

First Degree Fitness® is an Australian company and was founded in 2000 to offer the fitness industry a new range of equipment that combines robustness with simplicity, providing all users with the best on-water rowing simulation available on the market, including patented adjustable fluid resistance.

Fluid Rower® - Innovation by Fluid Resistance

FDF developed the Adjustable Fluid Resistance and today manufactures a line of home and commercial fitness equipment based on the unique and patented Twin Tank Fluid Resistance System. The adjustable Fluid Resistance Twin Tank was introduced on the first Fluid Rower® in 2002. This version challenged the conventional notion of how water could create resistance, rather than just adding momentum to a rotating flywheel. In 2005, the world's first Fluid Resistance Upper Body Ergometer (UBE) was released.

Fluid Rower® - Twin Tank Fluid Resistance System

The company's rowing machines are especially well-known because they provide a unique rowing experience with water resistance. First Degree Fitness® is the only manufacturer to own a patent that allows you to adjust the resistance of the water in the tank. Thanks to a special mechanism, the water can be split between two tanks and thus the resistance can be adjusted. For more than 20 years now, the company has been developing fitness products inspired by "normal life". First Degree Fitness® wants to change the way people think about exercise, because it is people's motivation that drives Fluid Rower's innovation. Various water resistance technologies can be used to simulate everyday movements.


Fluid Rower® - made of excellent sustainable materials

First Degree Fitness® develops fluid rowers for home and commercial use, made of wood, steel, aluminum or a combination of these materials. The rowing ergometers are produced from American ash wood, a high quality finish of the wood by fine sanding and the use of two layers of varnish.

Fluid Rower® - certified, medical devices

The range of exercise applications and benefits of FDF concentric fluid training continue to gain acceptance in the fitness industry. Sports clubs, health clubs, medical and rehabilitation centers, active aging centers, resorts and apartments can all see the unique benefits of FDF equipment in their markets.
