- Reliable Workout Data : The powerful PM5 Performance Monitor, standard with every RowErg, provides repeatable, comparable data for every workout. The PM5 offers a simple “Just Row” mode or allows you to set up a variety of workouts. The monitor shows you a wide range of data, including pace, watts, stroke rate and Calories and automatically stores this information in either its internal memory or a USB drive.
- Get Connected : One monitor, many training options! Our open-platform Performance Monitor connects via Bluetooth to your smartphone or tablet and is compatible with over 30 different apps, including our own ErgData. Whether you’re after online classes, coaching and training programs or virtual racing, there’s an app to suit you.
- Integrated Device Holder : Now it’s easier than ever to use ErgData, or any of your other favorite apps, while rowing. Each new RowErg comes with a device holder that allows you to keep your smartphone or tablet securely in place. The device holder fits everything from small smartphones to large tablets such as the iPad Pro and is easily and quickly adjustable.
- One Machine, Two Height Options : Our standard RowErg has a 14” seat height, while our elevated version has taller legs that provide a 20” seat height. The elevated version is a good choice if you like the convenience and appearance of a taller machine. The increased seat height can also make it easier to get on and off.
- Flywheel and Damper : Our RowErgs 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 spiral damper allows you to easily adjust the airflow to the flywheel, so you can change the feel of the stroke to suit your preference. The flywheel design minimizes noise while maximizing a smooth feel.
- Storage and Mobility : The RowErg is easy to wheel around for workouts and can be quickly separated into two pieces (no tools required) for compact storage. Ideal for homes or gyms that need flexible space. The taller legs of the elevated version feature large caster wheels for easier moving.
- Adjustable Footrests and Ergonomic Handle : Adjustable footrests allow for quick and easy sizing to fit a wide range of shoe sizes. We designed the ergonomic handle with a 10-degree bend that allows you to row comfortably with a natural arm and hand position.

I was originally going to purchase a fancier rower with a big simulated screen but after reading reviews for about a year, I took a gamble on this machine, I figured it must be extremely sturdy if it can handle up to 500 lbs.! It arrived in about 3 days & even being a petite woman, I was able to get it into the house unassisted. I was shocked at how well packaged & shipped this item was, not a scratch or blemish on the rower. I decided to try & assemble the unit & was elated at how easy it was to put together, 8 screws, yes 8 screws! This rower is of pure quality, the chain action is smooth as butter, the seat seamlessly glides on the sturdy rail & it’s quiet, purrs like a kitten with an easy to change intensity lever. The monitor isn’t much to brag about but it is efficient. Mine has a place to hold my ipad & cell phone securely which is nice. I have shoulder problems & I think this machine has felt better, less irritation, than rowers I’ve used in the past. I’m sure glad I purchased this rowing machine, it was well worth the year of pondering.

I splurged on this rower and am not even mad about it. Such a great workout, easy to disassemble for storing, great monitor, smooth ride. No negative things to say! Except maybe the price …

Like many in quarantine, I gained quite a bit of weight, and wanted a low-impact way to increase my cardiovascular fitness. I tried a cheap, made-in-China “Batiffe” water rower, and that was awful. It actually broke, which led me to this rower.
Much different story with Concept2. Everything about this rower screams quality. The seat cushion, the handlebars, the performance monitor. Everything is built to last and facilitates great workouts.
No notes. If you’re interested in rowing or looking for a low-impact way to get in some cardio, I can’t recommend this enough.

I wanted a workout that was low impact and this worked perfectly. I can still have a challenging workout. Putting it together was pretty easy but would recommend two people if you will move the box somewhere.

This rower has been a great addition to our home gym. We previously had a rower with a nylon strap like pulley and didn’t feel like we were getting a good workout. When we got rid of that one and decided to start looking for a better option, we came across this one. While our treadmill and bike have iFit programs and we wanted to have that on the rower as well, we also wanted one that works well independent of a program and is sturdy. I love my iFit programs, but sometimes waiting for them to download updates and having a system that requires a power connection and wifi limit whether you can workout or not.
This rower has a cable pulley and is very sturdy, providing a great total body workout. The bracket attachment to hold a phone or tablet still allows me to follow along with an iFit workout if I choose to. We appreciate the fact that even without power, we can hop on and get a good workout in with no start up lag time at all. It’s literally go time as soon as you sit down!

This was super easy to assemble. Total of 8 screws to attach the legs and then click in the long seat slide to the rest of the machine and that was it. I haven’t had this machine for very long so I can’t really speak on the workouts. That being said what I have done on it produced a very smooth and enjoyable workout. I prefer to watch my iPad either to follow a workout or to watch something while working out. The section of the machine made to hold an iPad/phone is lacking. Maybe it’s only supposed to hold a phone but it really doesn’t hold anything. I have to lean my phone/iPad and hope I don’t move the machine with my workout and knock the device off. So far I have not. I wish that part was better especially for the amount of money you spend on this machine but that aside this is an overall great row machine!

Very solid, commercial gym-like machine. Arrived in one box took about 5-10 minutes to assemble. Smooth operation, good adjustable control and display. Really excellent.

Machine was recommended by a friend as a replacement for running. I received it promptly and assembled it….some people may need two people to assemble. It has worked very well. Since I am 6’2″, I wonder if the chain and the pull rope lengths are adjustable. I can deal with the lengths as they are…. but I just wondered. I am still getting the techniques perfected….but I am satisfied with this as a replacement for running.
