What is WaterBow? Gentle Water-Based Fitness at Home

(A1) What Is WaterBow? A Gentle Path to Strength, Balance & Joyful Movement

What is WaterBow?


WaterBow is a water-filled fitness device designed to help you move better, feel better, and build strength in the most natural way possible.

Instead of pushing your body through forceful or repetitive workouts, WaterBow uses the power of flowing water to create gentle instability. This awakens your deep core, improves balance, supports your posture, and brings movement back into your life β€” without pain, pressure, or overwhelm.

For over a decade, our co-founders Susan and Simon developed and refined the Ajambow method in their own movement studio in Leipzig, Germany β€” guiding hundreds of individuals through their movement journey and helping them feel stronger in everyday life. In early 2024, Tessa and Daniel joined to roll out the Ajambow concept nationwide in Germany, and to bring the method to American homes as WaterBow.


πŸ’§ How Much Does It Cost?

Launch Price: $179.99 USD

That's about the cost of a nice dinner for two β€” with better returns. Unless it's your first date. But even then, it could still be a better return.

πŸ’§ How Are WaterBow Workouts Structured?

WaterBow sessions use short guided videos called micro-flows, each 4–6 minutes long.

These micro-flows are the phases of your workout:

  • Awakening
  • Exploring
  • Celebrating
  • Reflecting

These phases combine into full workouts called Day Trips (15–20 minutes), which follow 3–4 movement phases.

Multi-week programs, called Journeys, help you stay consistent and experience meaningful progress over time.

πŸ’§ Why Water Makes Movement Easier (and More Effective)

Inside the WaterBow, the water flows freely.

As you move, the water shifts… and your body automatically responds.

This natural instability activates your stabilizer muscles β€” the deep muscles that protect your spine, help you stand tall, and keep your movement smooth and controlled.


This is what we call the Multiplier Effect:

β†’ Every move becomes more effective without adding strain, impact, or heaviness.

You work smarter, not harder.


πŸ’§ Movement That Feels Good

Traditional workouts often feel like work β€” intense, repetitive, or intimidating.

WaterBow feels completely different:

  • Gentle
  • Smooth
  • Calming
  • Natural
  • Refreshing

The sound of the water creates a meditative rhythm. The flowing movement relaxes your nervous system. And the exercises feel more like discovering your body than "doing a workout."


This is why WaterBow is loved especially by people who:

  • Have back or neck pain
  • Feel stiff, tight, or tense
  • Don't feel confident in traditional gyms
  • Want exercise that feels safe and enjoyable
  • Are beginning (or returning to) movement
  • Want to age with strength and grace

πŸ’§ Is WaterBow for Me?

WaterBow was built so that every person can succeed β€” no matter your age, fitness level, or limitations.

It's ideal for:

  • Beginners
  • Active agers (50+)
  • Seniors
  • Women seeking gentle, empowering strength
  • Anyone with back or neck pain
  • People recovering mobility
  • Busy people with little time
  • Anyone who "doesn't like exercise"

With adjustable water levels from 0.5–1.5 liters, WaterBow grows with you at your pace.


πŸ’§ Benefits You Can Feel Within Weeks

Most users report:

  • Less back and neck pain
  • Better posture
  • More mobility
  • Increased balance and stability
  • Stronger deep core muscles
  • Relief from tension and stiffness
  • A sense of calm, flow, and lightness
  • More confidence in daily movement

Just 15–20 minutes, a few times a week, is enough to make a meaningful difference.


πŸ’§ Designed for Real Life

WaterBow is intentionally:

  • Lightweight when empty
  • Easy to fill and adjust
  • Made in Germany
  • Sustainable
  • Space-friendly (minimum 6ft Γ— 6ft)
  • Perfect for home or travel

And with our guided video programs and supportive community, you always know exactly what to do.


πŸ’§ Built on 30 Years of Teaching & 10 Years of Research

WaterBow didn't appear overnight.

It is the culmination of:

  • Decades of movement education
  • Collaboration with the University of Leipzig
  • Thousands of hours teaching real people
  • Physiotherapy experience
  • Sports-science-backed testing

Originally known as Ajambow in Germany, our method became a trusted tool in:

  • Studios
  • Physiotherapy clinics
  • Wellness centers
  • Prevention courses certified by German health insurance

WaterBow is the American version of this proven system β€” designed to bring joyful movement into your everyday routine.


πŸ’§ The Heart of WaterBow

Movement should heal, not hurt. It should energize you, not exhaust you. It should bring joy, not stress.


WaterBow is more than a fitness tool.

It's a gentle, powerful invitation:

Start where you are. Move how you can. And rediscover a body that feels alive, capable, and free.
