Concept2 RowErg Indoor Rowing Machine - PM5 Monitor, Device Holder, Adjustable Air Resistance, Easy Storage

Easy to assemble, easy to set up and take down for a workout, and a fabulous workout. I read about the C2 when reading reviews about other brands of rowers....a reviewer said that this was the brand he wished he could afford, that it was the best out there. I joined a gym to see if I would enjoy rowing, and after three months decided to save myself the gym membership and the time involved in the gym commute and purchased the C2. Great decision. Great workout and now I can listen to my Economist while rowing. ....the gym was too loud. The storage configuration is a little large, but I reconfigured my garage so it will fit, alongside my exercise bike and ping pong table.

The Concept2 RowErg is wonderful; the mechanisms are smooth and secure, no noise, and provides a nice workout. This is a solid of equipment. The size is LONG, but it does fold to half its size for storing. The resistance allows for an easy or intense workout. It serves its purpose; an exhilarating workout, without joint pain. Concept2 did a great job at communicating and correcting the shipping (FedEx - did NOTHING). Concept2's team were responsive, respectful, and made sure the purchase met customer satisfaction. Thank you.

Just arrived and quality is evident when you open the box. Solid construction, VERY easy to put together and did a quick row and it is as quiet as people have said. While the length of space needed is about 9 feet, the width of the machine easily allows you to put this close to a wall or out of the way if you have limited space. It's a rower and the movement is in a straight-line so it's easy to stage most places. To move it around you simply lift the back end up to tilt it on the front wheels and comfortably push or pull to the desired location. Not heavy at all. It's basically just two pieces with a 3rd piece (2 metal bars and 8 small bolts) for attaching the front stand. Even comes with a standard size tool which you can use for other star bits. The two main pieces don't even need to be put together once you bolt the front stand to it--you simply insert the section with the seat into the rower section...no tool or bolts needed. And none of the pieces are too heavy to move around for most people. The shipping box is not huge either and it's well-packed. I've only use this rower a couple of times just to test it out after delivery so I cannot speak to long term usage but based on what I see-----well worth the money. I'm sick of buying cheap equipment only to have them fall apart or metal joints bend and break from wear & tear. Won't happen with this unit and it's the ones the gyms use so for home use it should last a long time even with regular use. I can't wait to cancel my gym membership and use this rower and do my walking/running outside from this point forward. Will save me time, money over the long run and allow me to do more workouts on a more regular basis. No more dealing with driving to the gym, waiting for equipment and paying monthly fees....hope this review helped.

This is a fabulous rowing machine. I've owned rowers in the past and while they're kind of fundamentally similar, this has several features that make it stand out. First, the build quality is superior. The glide rail is solid and the seat doesn't jiggle loosely on the horizontal. While other reviewers find the seat uncomfortable, I think it's a matter of placement. If you pay attention to the contours of the seat it isn't uncomfortable at all, IMHO. The PM5 monitor is well done, easily readable and has a wide variety of features to make tracking your rows easy. I went ahead and got the RowPro software from Digital Rowing, and it rocks. First, setup was a breeze -- put the information in it asks for, connect it to the PM5 with a USB A-B cable (like a USB printer cable) and it reads everything. Having your past rows to use as race buddies on the screen is wonderfully motivating. I'm running the software on a Surface Pro 3 and it doesn't stutter or have any issues. I am awaiting the peripheral cradle to be able to mount my Surface Pro on top of the PM5 so it's more in my line of sight while rowing, because the software requires interaction when you setup your session, and it's kind of a pain to have to unstrap your feet to go tap the screen to start things off or end a warm up/cool down session. I'm still early in my workout build up (I haven't rowed in years) so I haven't tried going online to compete with other folks, but if it's as smooth as doing quick rows against yourself, I'm sure it'll be a blast. The glide action is extremely smooth, and the fan is surprisingly quiet. It isn't silent (it is a fan after all), but compared with other rowers I've used, this is usable while I watch television at a reasonable volume level. The chain is quiet as well, which has been an issue with other rowers I've used. I like the fact that you can adjust the shock strap, too, which makes this a long term exercise machine. The parts all look easy to replace and it seems you can buy all of them from Concept2. I did not get a heart rate monitor, but after seeing how it would integrate with the PM5 and RowPro, I'm seriously considering it. The wireless HRM capability is a real selling point -- no wires, just the strap. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of, but it wasn't enough to lose a star over, is the foot rest. The manual is super basic, and doesn't point out the value of adjusting the foot rest depth, which can alter your form if you don't have your feet in the right spot, so pay attention to making that adjustment. They're very easy to adjust, it just didn't occur to me what was wrong until I as a couple of sessions in, since the manual doesn't really make any mention. Setup was super simple. A few screws and connecting the two pieces together was all it took. It took me longer to clean up the styrofoam than it did to put together the unit. Overall a terrific machine I'm actually excited to use and will help me get back into shape with the motivation of competition.

I have never rowed in my life, but during the winters in New England, I am often uninspired to go outside for a run, especially when the sidewalks are icy. I did a lot of surfing on the web to see what might be some options. I don't have the room for a treadmill, a stationary bicycle did not appeal to me, and I do some bodyweight exercises already. The indoor rowing machine was something that continually caught my eye and the more I read about it, the more I was intrigued. Once I decided on the indoor rower, I did a lot of reading on different websites, compared many indoor rowers, and also talked to a couple of people with some experience with rowing. If I was willing to pay for it, the Concept2 Model D was the one I wanted. It was certainly an investment, but having had it for a month, I have nothing but great things to say about it. I'm nowhere near the indoor rower that I hope to one day be, but I try to get a decent row in several times a week. For me, "decent" means trying to work on my form (I have watched many videos) and getting to the point where I am very tired. Thankfully, it feels like I can go a bit longer each week. With the proper form, I feel that my wind has certainly improved, my legs are very tired, and my arms seem to get a decent workout as well. The legs are definitely the body parts that get the best workout. I know I haven't even come close to figuring out everything that the digital monitor can do, but after such a short period of time, I can say with certainty that this machine is perhaps my best overall purchase in many years. I need to be diligent, but it feels like something I can do for years to come and if I continue to concentrate on my form, I should stay healthy with it as well. I must say that I enjoy the different workout options on the digital monitor and I'll continue to figure it out more and more. I definitely like how the machine was extremely easy to put together (instructions were great and it took about 15 minutes to assemble) and it can also come apart in about 5 seconds so you can store the rower in a closet if needed. I'm careful with it, but it also feels very sturdy. Last but not least, keeping track of workouts and syncing it with my phone using Bluetooth is a great option so I don't have to write things down all the time anymore. And...for the time being, until I move it upstairs, the Concept2 Model D sits in front of a television so I never have an excuse to avoid even a quick workout while watching a show or movie. I could not recommend this indoor rower any more highly! It's definitely a financial investment, but for me, it's already been a very worthwhile one. One final thing...I emailed Concept2 with a couple of simple (probably stupid) questions and they got back to me within a couple of hours on a Saturday. I always expect good customer service, but this was great. They were both helpful and extremely enthusiastic with their response. That just takes things over the top and if I could, I would have added a sixth star to the rating.

So far so o good. Works well and good sturdy quality. Did we not need a power socket and the display is good. The tension is amazing. Worth every penny and a see us using it for years to come

I have owned the Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine for two years. It is the best piece of workout equipment I have ever owned. It is well built. Collapses for easy storage. Provides 10 levels of resistance guaranteed to provide a spirited workout regardless of age or physical condition. This is a best-in-class product ... and well worth the investment. I bought this rower because I wanted to add rowing to my exercise regimen. I have a LifeFitness Elliptical machine, an Octane Fitness Recumbent Elliptical, a True Fitness treadmill and a LifeSpan Exercise Bike. These are commercial grade pieces of equipment. I learned long ago that when buying exercise equipment for the home it is best to buy commercial grade because it is more durable and thus lasts longer. The Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine is certainly worthy of the commercial grade moniker ... but the manufacturer downplays that aspect of the machine. I have this rower set up in our spare bedroom. I do my rowing for 30 minutes most every evening. I turn on the television and set about to row. The movement of the chain drive is smooth ... no jerky motion as the chain uncoils and recoils. There is a fan blade style resistance wheel that is located within the circular housing at the from of the machine. A level on the housing allows you to set your resistance between 1 (easy) to 10 (hard). I find 3 give me a fine workout that elevates my heart rate without causing my heart to beat through my chest. The rower has a monochrome display that can show several variables. There is also an iPhone app which will pace you against your friends or your personal best time ... and save your results. The app is full color display and is easy to read while rowing on the machine. When I finish my workout I take the rower apart and store it in the corner of the room. It takes literally 10 seconds to disassemble this rower. I have been doing this for nearly every day for two years without issue or incident. The weight capacity of this rower is well over 350lbs. The parts are solid. As I mentioned ... this is a commercial grade piece of equipment as far as I'm concerned. The only maintenance required is to oil the chain and seat rail about twice a year. That's it. I have attached a few pictures of the Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine. I am extremely pleased with this purchase. Five stars.

How many ways can I say I’m in love?! I bought this because my family was home bound after my husband had a stroke and I was going crazy not being able to get to the gym or even out for a walk. It’s amazing. I wish I’d had this ages ago! It’s also been great for my husband as he recovers from his stroke. He lost movement in his right foot so can no longer run on a treadmill or do much in the way of cardio except bike or row. Since rowing is more of a total-body workout we chose this, having both used this rower at the gym. He’s able to row easily and it’s going to be a key tool in parts of his rehab. It was already on the way when the Coronoa virus shelter in place orders came out so now I’m doubly glad we have it since we can’t get to a gym even when he is more mobile. I’ve been using it with the Asensei app, which is perfect for someone who’s never had much coaching on efficient stroke technique, pacing, and various workout options. I’ve done lots of short bursts of rowing at OrangeTheory but Asensei has opened a whole new perspective on why it’s such an amazing piece of equipment. I recommend you order the phone holder if you plan to use apps on your phone with the rower. I also ordered gloves. I have this in my house in an open living space and it’s not loud at all. The glide is SO smooth - I’m glad I didn’t go cheap. You can feel it’s a superior ride. Also, it’s not too heavy. Since my husband can’t help I had to bring it in the house up a flight of stairs and was able to bring each piece separately and put it together myself without problems. I did have to watch a YouTube video to understand how to connect the two main pieces. Super easy but the written instructions weren’t quite enough. I LOVE my new rower. I generally hate working out at home but I’m truly enjoying this with Asensei.

Fantastische machine. Super kwaliteit en ziet er goed uit.

I thought rowing was easy until I bought this ! As far as the machine goes, concept 2 has given the best of all. It doesn’t get better. If you are considering a rowing machine, this is it, look no further. Just go for it. It quiet expensive in India.

Hallo. Ich bin der Typ, lieber gebe ich ein bisschen mehr Geld aus denn ich will mich nicht ärgern wil irgend was " billig" hergestellt ist und dauernd kaputt geht. .Ich wollte ein Rudergerät das einfach solide ist, simpel zu benutzen und voraussichtlich mehrere Jahre hält ohne dass schon vorher abzusehen ist das man irgend was reparieren muss. Das Gerät ist keine Frage im ersten Moment relativ teuer. Das muß jeder für sich entscheiden ob er soviel ausgeben will. Aber es ist Top verarbeitet,einfach aufzubauen und wenn man es benützt sehr stabil. Nichts verbiegt sich,scheppert oder quietscht. Es hat eine Kette und kein Band. Das ist ja bei den meisten auf Dauer der Schwachpunkt. Dürfte hier also länger halten.Hoffe ich zumindest. Ich bin 1,80m groß und das Gerät ist völlig ausreichend von der Größe. Ich denk 15 - 20 cm mehr wären auch noch ok. Die Lautstärke ist ok. Wie wenn man einen größeren Ventilator laufen läßt würde ich sagen. Wenn man nebenher Radio oder TV sehen will muß ich lauter stellen. Lautstärke TV von Stufe 8-9 auf 15 -17. Je nach Sendung. Ich würde es ohne Bedenken auch in einer Mietwohnung benützen. Zimmertür zu und man hört fast nichts mehr außerhalb. Über den Computer kann ich nicht viel sagen. Ich setze mich drauf, stelle den Widerstand ein und rudere einfach nach Zeit. Diese wird automatich angezeigt. Das reicht mir. Mehr will ich eigentlich nicht. Vermutlich habe ich für meine Bedürfnisse ein zu " gutes Gerät" gekauft. Aber ich würde es sofort wieder kaufen. Bin einfach sehr zufrieden. Kann es nur weiter empfehlen.

Acquistato su Amazon con un piccolo sconto rispetto al prezzo di listino e arrivato in anticipo di 5 giorni, per cui nulla da eccepire per quanto riguarda la spedizione, precisa e veloce. Per quanto riguarda l'attrezzo, mi sono informato per qualche tempo su Youtube e altri siti prima di decidere per acquistarlo. Cercavo un attrezzo che mi permettesse di fare Cardio visto che non potevo praticare la corsa per dei problemi ai piedi (piede piatto), e cercavo soprattutto un attrezzo che mi permettesse di allenarmi bene e allo stesso tempo non fosse troppo monotono e questa versione di Concept 2, ha presente due punti di forza principali, il programma Computer PM5 e il fatto che sia un modello D. 1) Il PM5 è un programma che permette diverse funzioni, ne elenco solo alcune importanti. Si ha la possibilità di sfruttare esercizi in training, si può connettere a dispositivi come Tablet, Smartphone per usare app di Training e in più ha collegamenti Ant+ e Bluethoot per collegarsi a Smartwatch Sportivi e Cardiofrequenziometri con fascia toracica. Il Computer mi è arrivato già aggiornato all'ultimo firmware e si può impostare la lingua Italiana. 2) Il modello D è comodo perchè semplicemente il vogatore è composto da 2 pezzi, uno con la ruota ad aria del vogatore e Computer ripiegabile e l'altro pezzo la slitta con il sedile. Si possono agganciare e sganciare al volo tramite una staffa e si possono ripiegare poi in un angolo occupando pochissimo spazio. Prima di acquistare questo vogatore, devo dire comunque che la cosa più importante è che rende pienamente come esperienza di esercizio e allenamento se collegato ad un Tablet, ne sto usando uno che avevo già in casa in versione Android (ma può essere collegato in alternativa anche alla TV di casa, importante è che abbia connessione bluethoot e Android). Dico che il tablet è importante perchè mi sono iscritto inizialmente ad una app, quella che uso attualmente si chiama EXR (che si può usare gratuitamente per 14 giorni per poi abbonarsi), e dopo averlo configurato con i vostri dati, sono presenti sia programmi di allenamento dinamici, gare, giochi e altro e selezionando uno di questi programmi di allenamento, esso andrà a modificare dinamicamente la resistenza della ruota e del vogatore, impostando diversi livelli di difficoltà, per cui dovrete remare seguendo il ritmo imposto dal programma, tipo bracciate, distanza, potenza ecc...ci sono diversi livelli e training per i vostri gusti. Senza contare anche che mentre remerete vi troverete come se foste in un mondo virtuale, dove è presente una barca che rappresenta voi e ogni volta che remerete la barca di muove al vostro ritmo, e potrete scegliere percorsi, luoghi, ambienti per non annoiarvi nelle lunghe sessioni. Ne esistono anche altre app e dovrete andare poi a studiarli, sul sito della concept 2 ufficiale sono presenti una lista delle app compatibili e delle loro caratteristiche, per ora mi trovo bene con questa. APPUNTO: l'app EXR è in lingua inglese e sono presenti altre 4 lingue ma non l'Italiano. Il rematore strutturalmente è molto robusto e sopratutto stabile, di ottima fattura e costruzione, ci remo da due settimane e mi trovo benissimo. Premetto che peso al momento 97kg e alto 180cm, nessun problema con questo rematore come stabilità e comodità. Per concludere inserisco un altro appunto, il programma si collega al mio orologio sportivo per registrare la sessione di allenamento oltre che al tablet che registra anche questo la sessione in contemporranea. Unica cosa è che non rilevava il mio battito cardiaco dal mio orologio e non lo trasmetteva al tabet e ho dovuto prendermi comunque una fascia toracica cardiofrequenzimetro Ant+ e ho risolto il problema. Attrezzatura completa usata da me: - Rematore Concept 2 Modello D - Tablet 7°/10° Android (che tenevo già a casa, ma potete usare anche la tv se compatibile) - Orologio Garmin Venu 3 (si collega al rematore e registra la sessione allenamento completa sul sito Garmin con tutti i dati completi. Non trasmette però la frequenza al Tablet/App. NON E' COMUNQUE OBBLIGATORIO o NECESSARIO. Ma essendo sportivo registro sempre le sessioni.) - Cardiofrequenzimetro a fascia toracica modello Garmin HRM-Pro Plus (Per poter trasmettere/visualizzare la propria frequenza cardiaca sul Tablet/APP durante allenamento e al rematore. Se possedete uno smartwatch controllate se è compatibile per trasmettere i dati al tablet, diversamente vi servirà una fascia cardiofrequenzimetro compatibile.). - App EXR con Abbonamento 1 anno (primi 14 giorni gratuiti per provarlo) Per ora è un ottimo attrezzo e mi trovo soddisfatto pienamente e i risultati si cominciano a vedere.

This product is awesome! We were slightly worried that it would be too loud to have at home but it turned out not being an issue at all. Also, there were some delivery issues but Amazon helps to solve perfectly!
