About Inside Indoor Partner Concept2
Concept2 is currently the leading supplier of rowing machines in the UK. Their rowing machines can be found in gyms, rowing clubs and homes up and down the country. They are also used by international rowers and for across the majority of Indoor Rowing competitions. The Concept2 rowing machine simulates rowing on the water by using air pressure and a flywheel.
Concept2 is the Official Performance Rowing Machine of British Rowing providing indoor rowing machines and oars to the National Team. They also support British Rowing’s national championships events including the British Rowing Indoor Championships (BRIC). And more recently collaborating with Inside Indoor.
Concept2 Key Features
The RowErg is engineered to be easy to maintain, and last a lifetime. This is the same machine used by Olympic- and elite-level athletes to train for their sport and is made to take on heavy training day after day. At the same time, it supports the training goals of everyone, whether you’re just starting out on your indoor rowing journey, looking to start something new, or a long-time rower. Check out the key features of a Concept2 RowErg machine below.
The monitor shows you a wide range of data, including pace, watts, stroke rate and Calories for each workout. You can choose between five display options. You can also play simple games whilst using the machine. The latest version of the Concept2 monitor is the PM5 which has Bluetooth technology. Using an app like ErgData, it's easy to transfer your workouts for free to the Concept2 Online Logbook Previous versions (PM2, PM3 & PM4) are also still commonplace in many gyms.
Each new machine also now comes with a device holder that allows you to keep your smartphone or tablet securely in place. The device holder fits everything from small mobile phones to large tablets such as the iPad Pro and is easily and quickly adjustable.
The Concept2 use air resistance to respond to your effort on every stroke, so you are in full control of your exertion and resistance at all times.
The damper (resistance setting) allows airflow to the flywheel to be adjusted using a range of levels 1 (light) to 10 (hard). A higher setting allows more air into the flywheel which slows the wheel more quickly on the recovery and offers greater resistance on the drive. A lower damper setting admits less air to the wheel and so slows it down less quickly on the recovery and offers less resistance on the drive. We recommend a resistance level of 4 or below to allow good technique to be maintained for longer.
One monitor, many training options. The open-platform Performance Monitor connects via Bluetooth to your smartphone or tablet and is compatible with over 30 different apps, including Concept2 ErgData which provides additional feedback and automatically stores all your workouts directly to your device. Whether you’re after online classes, coaching and training programs or virtual racing, there’s an app to suit you. Most apps work wirelessly with the PM5 but a connecting cable is required with older monitors (PM3 & PM4).
Adjustable footrests allow for quick and easy sizing for a range of feet sizes. As well as a handle with a 10-degree bend that allows you to row comfortably with a natural arm and hand position.
Concept2 rowing machines come in a black powder coat colour and the design is that of a high tech performance machine. They come in two sections that can be easily connected or split for transport/storage. There is also two size choices. The standard RowErg has a 14” seat height, while the elevated version has taller legs that provide a 20” seat height.
Easy to move about using wheels and can be stood on its end for easy storage subject to a minimum ceiling height of circa. 250cm.
