Rowing Machine
First Degree Fitness
First Degree Fitness was founded in 2000 with the primary goal of offering the commercial fitness industry a new range of equipment that combined robustness with simplicity. Above all our goal was to give users of all ages, body types, and fitness levels the ability to enjoy a perfectly tailored full body cardio workout, with all the benefits of improved fitness that result.
Today we make a wide range of machines for both the commercial and home fitness markets. All machines use water as the basis for resistance, and operate a twin tank system to add or remove water, and hence change the resistance level at the turn of a dial.

FIRST DEGREE FITNESS CAMBRIDGE
The Cambridge Challenge Adjustable Resistance Rower makes ingenious use of the unique physical properties of water. Just as a wave can be anything from a gentle ripple to a raging ocean surf, so the Cambridge Challenge A/R Rower instantly adapts from a light warm-up to a fierce Workout, by adjusting the resistance level. That's because with water, the harder you exercise, the tougher it gets. Ask any rower!
