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

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.

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.

I have owned most types of exercise equipment out there: treadmills, climbers, Spinbikes, recumbent bikes, total gym, ab machines, ellipticals, weight benches and all sorts of small do-hickys that were made to help you maintain or get into shape. No, I'm not a shopaholic LOL I am naturally small to average size but need to stay fit and healthy. Over the past year or so I have hit that dreaded time my mom and Aunts always warned about: that time when everything you ate stayed with you and loosing a quick five pounds was no longer a simple thing. One big note here though; One of the reasons I have had so many different types of exercise equipment over the years is, I have cerebral palsy and need to stay at a healthy weight and try to keep flexibility and cardiovascular health as high as I can have. Unfortunately I have found that many types of exercise equipment have something that prohibits me being able to use them effectively. For example, the total gym is a great piece of equipment however most of the exercises that I want to use involve laying on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the slide board. For me it is nearly impossible because of my muscle tightness I am unable to do that as well as a lot of the other exercises that require a bit of balance or flexibility that I just don't have. I also have weaker leg muscles so a lot of the other equipment seemed to either wear me out immediately, or I'd have to used my upper body exclusively. Several months ago I began thinking about a rower. I actually ordered and canceled a different, less expensive rower that had gotten good reviews here because I'd been reading independent review sites and the Concept 2 had always gotten great reviews and I knew I wouldn't be happy with lower quality. The water rowers looked good too but frankly I couldn't swing the cost especially since as much as I hoped a rower would work for me I knew the odds were I'd be selling it if it wasn't something I could use well. Assembly was probably the easiest of anything I've ever owned. The hardest part was getting the two pieces out from the Styrofoam! LOL Eight screws and the screwdriver was included. The item is well-made and feels sturdy but wasn't too heavy for me to assemble on my own very easily. All you are doing is attaching a V shape bracket to the rower and then down to the flat piece that sits on the floor. Once assembled you just lift the front piece of the machine (one handed it's not too heavy) and the back part has a little hook shaped end that goes down on a bar on the front piece and you lower the machine and the parts lock together. The machine is long but narrow. Storing may not be as easy as a machine that just folds but stays in one piece, but on the other hand having the two pieces come completely apart could make storage easy if you needed to put each piece away in different area. Now for the usage: As I have said I do have limitations and I do know they make a different model that sits up higher off the ground and it is supposed to be easier to get on and off if you have any type of balance or mobility issues however I chose this model because I felt it would be easier for me to get on and off. I did have to make one adaptation: because I do not have normal flexibility, I found that once my feet were strapped in I could not quite reach the handlebar to begin rowing, so I borrowed my Service Dogs tug rope she uses to open doors and attached it to the handlebar of the rower. It gives me the extra length that I need that once I am seated with my feet strapped in I can use the rope and pull the handle bar up to begin rowing. If you are heavier or built where you're not able to reach the bar comfortably this is an easy fix. When I first began using the rower I found as I had expected that I was using very little to no legs, however after just a week I am able to use my legs some. Nowhere near the "normal" amount of a correct row form where your legs are doing about 60% of the work, but I have seen enough improvement already to know that as I continue my leg strength will improve enough to where I will be rowing in a more full body natural form. The reason I am saying this is just to let you know that even if you are limited and you're not able to start out with the "correct" rowing style, you can still use this machine. I think it is important however to know what the correct form is. I would suggest going to the Concept2 website and watching a video. It's not difficult at all but I do like to remind myself as a row that it's legs core arms and then arms core legs. Since I did not have leg strength to begin with I needed to be aware of not pulling with my back. They also have a great video on adaptive rowing for those with physical limitations. So you can see that this really is something that everyone can use and benefit from. The machine is quite. Not silent but you can watch TV while using it without having the volume to max. You set the amount of air to allow through the machine by sliding a "damper" lever. The more air the more resistance but your pull also makes a difference so you can get a more challenging workout just by changing when and how fast you pull. The monitor is small but the numbers are large and easy to read. It has several features but I find the "Just Row" is what I'm using now. I also have an app on my phone and the rower and my phone connect via Bluetooth and it will log my information so I can have a record of my workouts. The app also offers a verbal feature so if you are visually impaired you can know how you are rowing as far as distance and time. They also have software that allows you to see yourself in a boat rowing against other people that you can see on a monitor or your tv. Even though I've only had the machine two weeks I can easily say it will be one of the very few that I will keep and use. It is by far my favorite and I'm already seeing improvements. I have lost 5 pounds and know that I am improving not only my cardiovascular system but I am getting stronger and more flexible as I can see improvements in my leg use. I started with 0% legs and now am maybe 10% and that's a big improvement that will only get better. Oh and I will add that it is FUN!!! I actually enjoy rowing. Something about the repetitive movements and sound I find enjoyable. I do not give five stars often at all because I am extremely critical and consider all factors. This rower and the company has not only met but exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it without hesitation. I'm looking forward to using this for years and seeing a real improvement in my health and happiness. If you have been considering this rower I would say go for it!

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!

Un must-have pour s’entraîner sérieusement à la maison J’utilise le Concept2 RowErg depuis plusieurs mois maintenant et c’est clairement un des meilleurs achats que j’ai faits pour mon entraînement à domicile. Voici mon retour après utilisation : ✅ Construction ultra solide Ce rameur est une vraie bête. On sent tout de suite la qualité pro : c’est le genre de matos qu’on retrouve dans les salles de sport ou en compétition. Il est fait pour durer, même avec une utilisation intense. ✅ Ressenti de rame très fluide Le mouvement est super naturel, sans à-coups. La résistance à air s’adapte automatiquement à l’effort, donc plus on tire fort, plus c’est dur. Et il y a un levier pour régler le flux d’air si on veut adapter encore plus finement. ✅ Moniteur PM5 ultra complet Il affiche toutes les données qu’on veut : temps, distance, cadence, watts, calories… Il est précis, super lisible, et se connecte en Bluetooth. ✅ Facile à ranger malgré sa taille Il prend un peu de place en longueur, mais il se démonte en deux parties en 5 secondes, et il se range debout sans problème. Pour un appareil aussi massif, c’est super bien pensé. ✅ Entretien quasi inexistant Un petit coup de lubrifiant sur la chaîne de temps en temps et c’est reparti. Franchement, ça demande zéro effort. ✅ Convient à tous les niveaux Je suis plutôt régulier, mais j’ai des amis débutants qui l’ont testé et ils ont adoré. Et les plus avancés y trouvent leur compte aussi — c’est un outil ultra complet pour le cardio, la puissance, l’endurance, etc. ⚠️ Un peu bruyant Comme c’est un rameur à air, ça fait un peu de bruit, surtout si on rame fort. Rien d’excessif, mais faut le savoir si on cherche quelque chose de silencieux. ⚠️ Le siège est ferme Il fait le job, mais sur les longues séances on peut sentir un peu de fatigue côté confort. Perso, j’ai rajouté un petit coussin et c’est parfait. 👉 Conclusion : Le Concept2 RowErg, c’est du sérieux. Robuste, fluide, fiable, ultra bien conçu… Si tu veux un rameur qui te lâchera pas au bout de deux mois et qui peut vraiment t’accompagner dans ton entraînement sur le long terme, fonce. C’est pas donné, mais c’est un investissement que tu ne regretteras pas. Une chose importante que j’ai oublié de mentionner, c’est la valeur de cette machine à la revente car on le trouve généralement aux alentours de 1200 à 1300€ et on peut constater que ça se revend aux alentours des 1000 € sur Leboncoin par exemple. C’était un de mes principaux critères de recherche, car je ne voulais pas avoir un rameur sur les bras si jamais j’arrêtais un peu la pratique.
