History of NOHrD

NOHrD grew out of the German company WaterRower GmbH and embodies the perfect combination of functionality, design and sustainability. The brand name symbolizes its origins in Nordhorn (NOH) and Germany (D) – and reflects the philosophy of combining high-quality fitness equipment with natural aesthetics.

Since its founding in 2007, NOHrD has developed a wide range of premium fitness equipment that impresses both technically and visually. Every piece of equipment is manufactured at the company’s own workshop in Nordhorn using solid wood from sustainably managed forests and crafted with great attention to detail.

NOHrD products are more than just training equipment – they are design objects that blend harmoniously into living spaces and workout areas. This combination of quality, innovation and environmental awareness has established NOHrD worldwide as a brand for aesthetic and sustainable training.

NOHrD Philosophy

NOHRD’s philosophy combines aesthetic design, functional innovation and sustainability in a unique overall concept. Every piece of exercise equipment is crafted in Germany with the utmost precision and skill, using natural, high-quality materials such as wood, leather and steel. The focus is not only on functionality, but also on the harmonious interplay of form, design and performance. NOHRD sees fitness as an experience that goes far beyond simply working out: it’s about motivation, well-being and the joy of movement in an inspiring environment. With clean lines, natural finishes and long-lasting technology, NOHRD creates products that perfectly unite training, design awareness and responsibility towards nature—for people who value quality, style and sustainability.

Sustainability at NOHrD

At NOHRD, sustainability is not a trend but a deeply rooted ethos reflected in every step of production. The wood used comes exclusively from sustainably managed forests in the American Appalachians and Germany, ensuring short transport routes and responsible forestry. Manufacturing is energy-efficient: a large proportion of energy requirements is met by solar power, while waste wood is put to good use for heat generation. In addition, all equipment is designed to be durable and repairable—many components can be upgraded or replaced rather than replacing entire products. NOHRD also pays attention to environmentally friendly materials and resource-efficient processes in packaging and shipping. The result is a fitness concept that is not only good for your body but also firmly committed to protecting the environment.

Quality at NOHRD

At NOHRD, quality comes first—from the selection of materials to the final quality inspection at our in-house workshop. Every piece of fitness equipment is made in Nordhorn, Germany, using a unique combination of modern manufacturing technology and traditional craftsmanship. Solid wood, vegetable-tanned genuine leather and precision-crafted metal components ensure outstanding stability, durability and a premium feel. Each piece of equipment is made, inspected and finished with the utmost care, so every product excels not only in functionality but also in aesthetics. Our focus on lasting quality and timeless design creates fitness equipment built to last for generations—a true promise of value and durability.

Real wood. Truly handcrafted.

Every NOHrD fitness machine is a one-of-a-kind piece made from solid hardwood.

The solid wood used comes exclusively from sustainable, renewable forests in the USA and Germany. Only straight-grained, kiln-dried heartwood of the highest quality is used. The wooden elements are treated with protective oil to minimize dirt and stains. This largely prevents cracks and drying damage.

Oak

Oak wood – robust, durable, and timelessly beautiful

The ring-porous oak from North America or Europe stands out for its exceptional strength and durability. Its warm colour palette ranges from reddish to deep brown tones and is marked by distinctive medullary rays that give the material its natural texture. Thanks to its even grain, oak has a particularly elegant and understated appearance—a classic, high-quality wood that has proved its worth in furniture making for centuries and also gives the WaterRower stability and stylish appeal.

Vintage

Vintage character with oak wood

For an authentic vintage look, high-quality oak from North America or Europe is used. The brown stain accentuates the natural texture and distinctive medullary rays. Oak is one of the most durable types of wood used in furniture making and stands out for its even, elegant grain—perfect for a timeless, robust vintage style.

Club

Club look – bright, modern and versatile

High-quality beechwood is used for the Club finish. Beech is a plain, light-colored wood with a dense, hard surface, and its fine texture makes it particularly well suited to staining. For the Club finish, the wood is stained rose or black, which enhances the natural surface without obscuring the grain.

This elegant finish is especially popular in studios and bright interiors, as it creates a modern yet warm atmosphere.

Shadow

Shadow-Optic – dark, elegant and striking

High-quality beech wood is used for the Shadow finish. Beech is characterized by its light, simple appearance and a hard, dense surface that is ideal for staining. For the Shadow finish, the wood is stained deep black, which brings out the natural surface intensely without obscuring the characteristic grain.

The result is an elegant, powerful look that stylishly complements modern spaces.

Cherry

Cherry wood – elegant and warm in character

Cherry wood captivates with its uniform, fine-pored structure and its refined, decorative charm. The color palette ranges from light yellowish tones to warm reddish-browns, which develop an attractive, natural patina over time. With its smooth surface and fine edges, cherry wood is excellent to work with.

Thanks to its understated elegance and warm, reddish-brown coloring, cherry wood sets stylish accents in bright rooms and creates a harmonious, decorative contrast.

Walnut

Walnut – exclusive, robust and vibrant

Walnut wood is characterized by its dark brown coloring and vivid, distinctive grain. After processing, it results in smooth, elegantly lustrous surfaces that give the wood a particularly high-quality appearance. The wood is dimensionally stable, durable, and excellent to work with.

As a premium fine wood, walnut is primarily used in sophisticated interiors, where it impresses with its exclusivity and decorative effect.

NOHrD Manufacturing - Innovative wooden fitness equipment

WaterRower GmbH has been based in Germany since 1994, and in 2005, the NOHrD manufactory was established at the headquarters in Nordhorn, Lower Saxony. High-quality wooden fitness equipment is developed and produced here. All wooden sports equipment is handcrafted in our own manufactory. The combination of classic craftsmanship and precise machine technology ensures constant quality and development. A responsible approach to our environment is part of everyday life at NOHrD and is deeply rooted in the company philosophy. There is no waste, as wood and bark are fully utilized during production.  

Every piece of training equipment is unique.

The solid wood used is sourced exclusively from renewable forests in North America and Germany. Only young, smooth, solid heartwood is processed. The high-quality wood elements are oiled for protection to prevent dirt and stains. As wood is a natural raw material, it can vary in color and consistency. Consequently, solid wood darkens over time. This applies especially to cherry wood. Therefore, every NOHrD piece of training equipment is unique.
