“ The Rowperfect rowing simulator has been an integral part of our training since 1997. With the ability to link machines together and also connect them to PCs we've had the opportunity to achieve so much more in our training off the water. Over the period we've made tremendous technical progress. The live feedback from the PCs has enabled the athletes to make changes and see the outcome instantly.
The importance of the machines can be gauged by the fact that we bought two machines in Australia and used them right up to our final race in the Olympic final. I'd be quite happy to use the Rowperfect as our training machine all the time.
It's the closest thing to rowing we've got and you don't even have to carry it down to the water. ”
Martin McElroy, Coach Great Britain Eight, gold medallists Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
“ I have always been a fan of ROWPERFECT. Not only does it provide immediate feedback from the visual data but it also gives the rowers a clear message that they can transfer easily to the boat.
Using it, from the early development right up to the Olympic final, was a major factor in the success of our Gold Medal Eight. ”

Cambridge University Boat Club and Great Britain Olympic Coach
“ Since a diagnosis of advanced osteoarthritis in both knees was made over a year ago, my mobility has been greatly reduced. The ability to walk or do any weight-bearing exercise is not possible. Surgery is my only alternative.
Meanwhile, my son introduced the Rowperfect Rowing Simulator to my life and it has been a lifesaver. It enables me to exercise daily without any adverse effects on my knees. It also keeps my heart, blood pressure etc in order, preparing me for surgery and after surgery recovery. The low impact on my knees compared to other rowing machines at my gym seems to make it totally stressless on my body, whilst maintaining a positive mind attitude.
I strongly believe Rowperfect is as necessary for the well-being of older people as it is for younger athletic folk. It is both effortless and effective. With the enjoyment of daily use, I have discovered a certain pleasure of recognising its results. ”
Sincerely, Noeline Le Couilliard
“For the last two weeks before I departed for the 1989 World Championships in Bled, I was training on the Rowperfect exclusively. This gave me an advantage over my competitors, because I could hone my timing at the catch to perfection, not hindered by weather conditions or waves, and this certainly contributed to my world championship of that year. ”

“First of all I would like to say that the RowPerfect is a great training tool and the few days I have it, it earned its' money. The information and feedback for the rower is really good. You can see how they change and adapt. I am very impressed. ”
Cristian Felkel, Head Coach South African Rowing Union
“It feels like a boat. We used it a lot in training and it was the last thing we did before going to the Olympic final. ”
Simon Dennis, Great Britain Olympic 8+, Sydney 2000
“Cambridge have used the ROWPERFECT Rowing Simulator for some years now and it has been an invaluable coaching and training tool. It closely reproduces the feel of the boat and is kinder on the lower back than fixed head ergometers. ”
Robin Williams, Cambridge University, Head Coach
“I have been working with some novice scullers over the last 8 months, and they are now sculling like professionals. This is primarily due to the Rowperfect which we use every day. ”
