Dynamic Fluid Fitness Rehabilitation & Exercise Equipment
Shop Dynamic Fluid Fitness equipment for physical therapy, rehabilitation, commercial fitness and performance training. Formerly known as First Degree Fitness, Dynamic Fluid Fitness combines adjustable water-based resistance with commercial-grade exercise equipment designed for a wide range of users and training environments.
Total Rehab Solutions offers Dynamic Fluid Fitness commercial fluid rowers, upper and lower body ergometers, upper body exercise equipment, functional training platforms and fluid resistance strength equipment. The brand's patented adjustable fluid resistance technology provides smooth, responsive resistance for rehabilitation exercise, cardiovascular conditioning, functional movement, strength development and higher-intensity training.
Dynamic Fluid Fitness Equipment for Rehabilitation & Exercise
Dynamic Fluid Fitness develops exercise equipment around a distinctive approach to resistance. Instead of relying exclusively on traditional weight stacks, magnetic resistance or air resistance, Dynamic Fluid Fitness equipment uses water and a patented Twin Tank Adjustable Fluid Resistance system.
The system allows resistance to be adjusted while maintaining smooth, responsive movement. This gives facilities flexibility to accommodate different users, exercise intensities and training goals on the same piece of equipment.
Dynamic Fluid Fitness equipment can be a practical option for:
- Physical therapy clinics
- Rehabilitation centers
- Sports medicine facilities
- Senior wellness and active aging programs
- Athletic training and performance facilities
- Commercial gyms and fitness centers
- Home and light-commercial exercise environments with select models
How Dynamic Fluid Resistance Works
Dynamic Fluid Fitness is known for its patented Twin Tank Adjustable Fluid Resistance technology. The system uses active and passive water chambers, allowing the amount of water interacting with the impeller to change as the resistance setting is adjusted.
This provides selectable resistance while retaining the natural characteristics of fluid resistance. Depending on the equipment model, users can choose different resistance levels to accommodate controlled rehabilitation exercise, progressive conditioning, cardiovascular training, strength development or more demanding workouts.
Fluid resistance also responds naturally to user effort. Increasing movement speed and force increases the training demand, while slower movement can provide a more controlled exercise experience.
Dynamic Fluid Fitness Rowing Machines
Dynamic Fluid Fitness rowing machines combine water-based resistance with a smooth rowing motion designed to provide an immediate catch and consistent resistance throughout the stroke.
For commercial environments, the Dynamic Fluid Fitness M350 Commercial Fluid Rower provides 10-level adjustable fluid resistance and an elevated seat for easier access. The Dynamic Fluid Fitness M550 Commercial Fluid Rower also provides 10 resistance levels and is designed for demanding rehabilitation, fitness and performance environments.
The Dynamic Fluid Fitness S660 Forge Commercial Fluid Rower combines 5-level adjustable fluid resistance with a commercial steel and aluminum frame and elevated seating.
For facilities or users that prefer a wood-frame rower, the Dynamic Fluid Fitness S680 Timber Fluid Rower features an American Ash wood frame, 5-level adjustable fluid resistance and a residential/light-commercial rating.
Rowing provides coordinated upper- and lower-body exercise while allowing users to adjust both resistance and rowing intensity according to their fitness level and exercise goals.
Dynamic Fluid Fitness Ergometers
Dynamic Fluid Fitness applies its adjustable fluid resistance technology to ergometers designed for upper-body and total-body exercise, providing additional options for rehabilitation, adaptive exercise, active aging and cardiovascular conditioning.
The Dynamic Fluid Fitness M850 Upper Body Ergometer (UBE) features 10-level adjustable fluid resistance, bidirectional exercise and a removable seat that allows seated, standing and wheelchair-accessible exercise configurations.
The Dynamic Fluid Fitness M750 Cycle XT Upper & Lower Body Ergometer provides upper- and lower-body exercise from one commercial machine. Its adjustable positioning and rotating seat help accommodate different users and exercise configurations.
These features make the M750 and M850 particularly relevant for rehabilitation facilities that need equipment capable of supporting users with different mobility, conditioning and exercise requirements.
Dynamic Fluid Fitness Strength & Functional Training Equipment
Dynamic Fluid Fitness also incorporates adjustable fluid resistance into commercial functional strength and rehabilitation equipment. These systems provide an alternative to conventional weight-stack machines by using fluid resistance for controlled strength, power and functional movement exercises.
The Dynamic Fluid Fitness P928 Functional Training Platform is a ground-based functional training system with 10 resistance levels and three resistance attachment positions. It supports a broad range of exercises including deadlifts, squats, rows, high pulls, swings, rotational movements and other upper- and lower-body functional exercises.
The Dynamic Fluid Fitness P918 Squat to Overhead Press focuses on compound strength movements including squats, overhead presses, squat-to-press exercises, reverse lunges and lunge-to-press movements. Its 10-level adjustable fluid resistance system allows users to control exercise intensity through resistance selection and movement effort.
Both systems use concentric fluid resistance with semi-isokinetic characteristics, making them useful options for rehabilitation, athletic performance, functional strength and commercial training environments depending on the user's program and goals.
Why Consider Dynamic Fluid Fitness for Physical Therapy?
Rehabilitation facilities often need exercise equipment capable of serving patients with very different strength, mobility and conditioning levels. Adjustable fluid resistance gives clinicians and exercise professionals another way to scale exercise intensity within a single equipment platform.
Depending on the model, benefits for rehabilitation environments may include:
- Smooth adjustable fluid resistance
- Multiple resistance levels for progressive exercise
- Controlled exercise at lower movement speeds
- Upper-body, lower-body and total-body exercise options
- Commercial-grade equipment options
- Wheelchair-accessible exercise on select equipment
- Adjustable seating and access features on select models
- Cardiovascular, strength and functional training applications
- Bluetooth performance monitoring on select models
- No external power requirement on select models
Equipment selection should be based on the user's abilities, rehabilitation goals, facility requirements and appropriate professional guidance.

How to Choose Dynamic Fluid Fitness Equipment
When selecting Dynamic Fluid Fitness equipment, start with the movement patterns and user population your facility needs to accommodate.
Consider:
- Exercise type: rowing, upper-body exercise, upper- and lower-body conditioning or functional strength training
- User population: rehabilitation patients, active aging users, adaptive exercise users, general fitness members or athletes
- Resistance range: compare 5-level and 10-level fluid resistance systems based on the range of exercise intensities required
- Accessibility: evaluate seat height, entry and exit requirements, wheelchair access and positioning
- Commercial rating: determine whether equipment will be used in a rehabilitation clinic, commercial fitness facility, light-commercial environment or home
- Available space: compare equipment dimensions, minimum operating space and storage requirements
- Exercise variety: determine whether the facility needs specialized cardiovascular equipment or a broader functional strength platform
- Performance monitoring: compare Bluetooth connectivity, workout feedback and resistance detection features between models
For facilities focused primarily on cardiovascular and conditioning exercise, the M350, M550, S660 and S680 rowers provide total-body rowing options, while the M750 and M850 expand the range of upper- and lower-body ergometer exercise.
For strength and functional training, compare the P928 Functional Training Platform with the P918 Squat to Overhead Press based on the movements and training applications your facility needs.
