Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Give your Wii Fit exercise routines some cardiovascular rowing action with the Rowing machine for Wii.
This rowing machine is a basic, non-electric apparatus that’s very similar to a rowing machine you would find at the gym. Just connect your Wii Remote into the cradle on the pull bar and secure your feet on the foot pedals with the Velcro straps and you’re set! For more resistance while rowing, adjust the resistance level by turning the tension knob located on the side of the machine. With the rowing machine you’ll be performing cardiovascular and aerobic exercises with your Wii at home just like you would at your at the gym, but with out the expensive memberships.
Compatible with the following games:
- Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009
- Wii Sports Resort
Box Contains
1 X Rowing machine

Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun:
If thinking of purchasing this rowing machine to use with Wii Fit Plus...DON'T!
It does not work with it, despite all the blurb and promotional video, I've tried every possible way of connecting it to interact with Wii, and still nothing happens. I discovered yesterday whilst trawling through endless internet pages that it only works with Wii Sports resort...
Dishonest advertising on part of makers? (Look on the US Amazon site for other comments re not recognising Wii Fit Plus) In addition to this, build quality is poor, it may be cheap, but I would still expect it to last, which I can't see happening. Another false claim from the makers is the ability to adjust tension via the knob...Well, it doesn't! Turning it makes no difference, the tension on the handle pull is still feeble even at maximum setting. In short, a big waste of money for a product that doesn't work. Did I mention that it also fails to make clear that you require the Motion plus for your Wii remote to attach to handle...It does, so purchased one hoping to be able to connect, but still no joy.
Absolute rubbish, and that's being polite!!!

Fun:
I bought this product before any customer reviews had been submitted. I wish I had waited. I am pretty sure that people reviewing this product will advise others not to waste their money.
It doesn't work with Wii fit plus. The only game it works with on Sports Resort is the canoeing. However, unless you position the handle just right you end up going round in circles and because the whole rowing movement takes so much longer, it is impossible for me to complete the game in the allotted time, even at a beginner level.
Not only that, the base isn't weighted at all and so you feet aren't held in position. It would have been better if they had produced a quality product that actually worked than this piece of light weight rubbish.
I bought this to be a fun accessory but instead it has just been frustrating. It is a total waste of money.
If you watch the promotional video you will realise that the demonstrator hardly uses the product. They probably realised too that it simply doesn't work.
I can't believe that Amazon are selling something that to me, isn't really isn't fit for purpose and doesn't work with the all of the games that are listed on the packaging. Not only that, the box describes it as "similar to gym standard". They have to be kidding. No gym would use such a light weight product as this. It would break within a few uses.
