First Degree Fitness

FDF (First Degree Fitness) created adjustable Fluid Resistance in 2000 and now manufactures a range of fitness machines for both residential and commercial applications, based on our unique and patented Twin Tank Fluid Resistance system.

The adjustable fluid resistance Twin Tank was launched in 2002 on our FDF Fluid Rowing Machine (FDR-01), this release challenged the conventional thinking of how water could work to provide resistance rather than just add momentum to a rotating flywheel. In 2005 we released the world’s first Fluid Resistance Upper Body Ergometer (UBE).

FDF continues to develop and a release a range of FluidRowers for residential and commercial use crafted with wood, steel, aluminium and a combination of these materials. FDF makes the popular GX Row for Life Fitness. FDF has expanded the UBE range to include certified medical units and also manufactures the Uppercycle GX for Life Fitness.
