Concept 2 Rowing Machines

What is so special the Concept 2 rowing machines?

The Concept 2 rower is one of the best selling rowing machines in the world. The Concept rower's unique design makes it easy for someone of any ability, from an experienced rower to a complete novice, to get a great workout for the entire body.

If you walk into any gym or fitness club, anywhere in the world you're very likely to see a row of these fantastic rowing machines.

The old Concept 2 model C (no longer in production) was quite noisy, but the newer Concept II rowers, including the model D and Model E, use a much improved flywheel. In fact, air rowing machines in general are traditionally quite noisey, but these machines have benefitted from over 20 years of evolution and the new models are quite quiet, very smooth, and a joy to use.

The PM3 Performance Monitor

The concept 2 PM3 is essentially a computer which gives you a host of information about your workout, and even logs your workout data. Coming as standard on the Model D, the PM3 allows you to sit down and “just row” or you can row against a pace boat, see a force curve or a bar chart of your progress, all the while logging your heart rate, distance, speed, calories and watts. The unit uses standard USB so you can quickly and easily transfer your data to a PC or MAC

There's a reason the Concept 2 is the most popular rower in the world, it's simply one of the best and get's the job done. If you're wanting a very low cost beginners rower, or you want a unit that is an small and quiet as possible then you might be better off looking at a magnetic rowing machine, but if you want the best without compromise then you probably want a Concept Two!

Concept2 Model D User Reviews

Essential for my weight-loss program "I purchased the Concept 2 model D last years after an exhausting internet search, and visiting several stores. To be honest I was relaly only a casual user for several months, but when I decided to take my weight loss program seriously I started using it regularly, and that's when I really realised just how great this unit is.

I now row for 30 minutes, 5 times per week and I'm so glad I didn't go for one of the cheaper models. The Concept2 is quiet, comfortable and easy to use. I can maintain an average of around 23 strokes per minute (counted on the built in computer) and that gives me a really good workout without over doing it."

Top notch rowing machine "I'm really impressed. Smooth, quiet and based on how long they have been around and the reviews online they appear to last forever, they are certainly well built so I can believe that."
