I was extremely worried about moving my WaterRower Classic to my new home. The water tank seemed so fragile. FitMovers123 carefully drained the tank, disassembled everything, and transported it with incredible care. At my new place they reassembled it perfectly and filled the tank to the right level. Worth every penny.

Real feedback from customers who trusted us with their Concept2, WaterRower, and Hydrow rowers.
Moved my Concept2 Model D from my old apartment to a new house with a basement gym. These guys knew exactly how to handle it—separated it into two pieces, protected the PM5 monitor separately, and reassembled it perfectly downstairs. The flywheel spins as smoothly as ever. Highly recommend for any Concept2 owner.
Just got my Hydrow moved to my new condo. I was nervous about the touchscreen and electronics but FitMovers took extra care wrapping and protecting everything. They even helped me reconnect it to WiFi and made sure all my profiles were working. The screen looks perfect and it rows like new.
Rowing Machine Moving FAQs
Answers to the most common questions about our rowing machine moving and installation services.
Yes. Water tanks should always be emptied before moving a WaterRower. Our process includes proper draining with a siphon to prevent damage, secure padding around the empty tank during transit, professional refilling to the correct level at the destination, and adding purification tablets if recommended by the manufacturer.
It depends on the model and the move. Concept2 rowers typically separate into two main sections with minimal disassembly. WaterRower models may need rail separation and tank draining. Magnetic resistance rowers often require console and rail separation. Hydraulic rowers are compact and may not require disassembly at all. Our technicians determine the best approach during assessment.
We remove monitors and control panels when possible for separate cushioned transport, use custom foam padding and anti-static wrapping for sensitive electronics, carefully manage all cables and connection points, and give special attention to touchscreens on smart rowers like Hydrow and Ergatta models.
Yes. We regularly move rowing machines to and from upper floors and basements. We disassemble into manageable components, use stair-climbing equipment for heavier pieces, apply team lifting with at least two technicians, and protect stair surfaces, walls, and railings throughout the move.
Yes. We provide professional assembly for new rowing machines delivered in boxes or crates. This includes unboxing and organizing all components, frame and rail assembly, water tank filling for water rowers, console and monitor mounting, leveling, WiFi setup for smart rowers like Hydrow, and complete function testing before we leave.
We carry comprehensive insurance specifically designed for fitness equipment including high-value rowers from Concept2, WaterRower, Hydrow, and other premium brands. In the rare event of damage we handle the claims process directly and resolve issues promptly. Our careful procedures make damage extremely rare—but your investment is fully protected.
