INSIDE THE WOODSHOP — WARREN, RI

April 08, 2022

In the small town of Warren, Rhode Island, craftsmen and women haul in raw planks of cherrywood to saw, sand, stain, and craft into Ergatta Rowers. Each rower is crafted by several hands, each bringing unique expertise, careful precision, and deep pride to their work.

Partnered with Ergatta, WaterRower has spent the last 34 years refining their craft. To keep up with expanding demand, everything from the factory layout to the turn of the hand has been optimized to deliver the highest-quality handcrafted product at scale. And since Ergatta’s Spring 2020 launch, two separate factory buildings now stand, buzzing with woodworkers hard at work to keep up with demand.

“I’m proud and grateful of our close connection with WaterRower,” says Mike Chamberlin, Quality Engineer at Ergatta. “The WaterRower team’s manufacturing expertise benefits every inch of the process, and together we are constantly seeking new ways to increase quality and efficiency.”

Exercise made easy

Easy ordering. Easy Build. Outstanding customer service. Starter program has made rowing easy. Did I mention how beautiful the rower looks? Looking forward to an extended relationship with our rower.

Fun and easy to build healthy habits.

I’ve tried all kinds of ways to work out at home and nothing has worked until now.

I feel better and I’m happier. Glad we invested in our health.

So fun

This is so fun and is good for exercise

Dream Machine

I enjoy this rowing machine so much. I love the open row the most. Love looking at the different locations around the world while I am rowing. Very cool! The classes are helpful and fun. I’m a big fan of this rower and the Ergatta training videos and classes. The subscription is worth every penny!

Great workouts

I've owned my Ergatta Lite for two months now and I'm really enjoying the variety of programs. I like the meteor, scenic and live races. It can be as relaxing or as intense as you want. As for the build, I was concerned about screen rattling based on other reviews but its not an issue, maybe a slight rattle during high intensity sessions but it never bothers me. Setting up and down is also a breeze.
