I quickly installed the retrofit PM5 monitor, with the essential help of my 3 year old granddaughter who lives with us.
I have one HUGE complaint: What the heck took me so long to order this upgrade! STUPID ME! I should have gotten it when it first came out! It's phenomenal! My Concept2 utilization will definitely increase a lot in 2017! Read More ›

My Ten Million Meter Club sweatshirt arrived in the mail today. I will be 61 years old next month, but opening this package was like being 10 years old again on Christmas morning. Thank you so very much for the sweatshirt of such excellent quality. Also, a much belated thank you for my Five million and One million meter t-shirts. I cannot think of another company that supports its customers the way you do. I am facing another cold wet Pacific Northwest winter, but I have my Concept2 to get me through it. Now I just need to find room in my garage for a SkiErg. Read More ›

I am 57 years old. I am a superior court judge, now in my 21st year in that position. I started using a Concept2 Indoor Rower about six years ago at the urging of a lifelong friend who learned about fitness through his training in an elite special forces unit.
In May of last year, I suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. Doctors told me that my level of fitness helped me survive it. It is not a stretch to say that I owe my life to my friend and to Concept2. I will wear your T-shirt proudly. Read More ›
About three years ago I was told by my doctor that I had to change my lifestyle to improve my health. In fact he said, "Improve your nutrition, lose weight, do sports." As I live far away from any public gym, I decided to build my own. I bought a few pieces of exercise equipment, including the Concept2 Model E, and a big flat screen television. Read More ›
While I wish I had taken advantage of an opportunity to row in college, the use of an erg has played a part in my fitness ever since college. For many years, I used ergs at a variety of health clubs as part of my routine workouts. In 1998, I purchased my first Model C Indoor Rower. I don’t claim to be completely faithful year round. I always come back to my machine—a core training that I can always do regardless of weather. Around 2005, I ended up buying a second machine, Model D this time. The old faithful keeps my exercise always at hand at our second home. Read More ›

I have been rowing since January, 2008. It is a family affair. My son and his wife introduced it to my wife and me and we have been rowing regularly ever since. My Concept2 Indoor Rower makes it possible to exercise at home, in any weather, any time of day, in A/C comfort and choose what I watch on TV while rowing! It's a great way to keep in shape.

We are still in winter in Upstate New York, so I have not been rowing on-water this year. I just got my Dynamic in the Fall of 2010. I know it will help me or at least give me a jump start when I get on the water. When on the Dynamic, I focus on technique and get a good aerobic workout. I believe it has helped me to stay flexible and improve core strength. Read More ›
I was introduced to the sport by a patient who came to my office significantly lighter and firmer than when I had last seem him; he attributed his transformation to joining the ARC. I met him at the river the following weekend and have been hooked ever since. Today most of my rowing is on the erg, spurred on by the C2 website and my hopes of turning back the clock. Read More ›
I began rowing over 20 years ago when I decided to get in shape in my late 30s. I joined a health club that had all kinds of weightlifting machinery, cycles, and whatnot. After trying all the machines, I found myself constantly returning to the rowing machines. Eventually I bought a model C and put more than 11 million meters on it. I recently retired and bought a model E as a retirement present. I workout five days a week and try to do at least 40,000 meters each week. Read More ›

My husband and I are retired and live in the middle of the Adirondacks in northern NY. The cold, snowy winters here sometimes make it difficult to get outside and get much exercise so in Oct 2005 we got our rower. We have both really enjoyed it and have found it to be such a good form of exercise. I find being a member of the Ducks in a Row, along with all the C2 challenges, are great motivators to keep me rowing. Read More ›
While comparing fitness routines with a friend at work several years ago, he described his Concept2 rower and how well it was working for him.

I taught physical education and coached football and other sports for 38 years. I got into using the erg as a means to get in shape for alpine climbing about 9 years ago. I had been running, but old age caught up with the knees. About 5 years ago I realized I couldn't climb effectively anymore, so I took up erg workouts on a regular basis. Read More ›
I decided to get a Concept2 machine to get in shape and lose weight via a low impact exercise. My son of two years is my primary source of inspiration, one day I decided that I needed to get into shape to be able to keep up with him in the years to come. Although, I have had my rowing machine for over two years, it had been collecting a fair amount of dust. Then in late June of this year I finally decided to take the jump and have not looked back since. That was 550,000 meters ago. Prior to Christmas, I am aiming to break the sub-200 pound mark and the million meter mark. Read More ›
I took up exercising seriously upon the diagnosis of diabetes in late 2003. By the end of '04 I had reversed all blood sugar chemistries and achieved blood pressure and cholesterol milestones after shedding 45 lbs. But, I gradually became bored with only cycling and lifting; convinced of the benefits of lifestyle changes I looked for alternatives and variety; along came Concept2 in March '06. I am now hooked and well underway for my Mkm year have already lost a further 9 lbs. Read More ›
