WaterRower Inc. was established in 1988 when John Duke (an alumnus of Yale University (USA) and a member of the US National Rowing Team) invented and patented the WaterFlywheel which provided the resistance mechanism for his indoor rowing machine. The machines are still built today in-house by WaterRower at their facility in the small coastal town of Warren in Rhode Island, USA. Machines may be sold under the name Indo-Row.
Appearance on House of Cards
The product gained popularity through its appearance on the show House of Cards, where it is regularly used by character Frank Underwood.
