THE UNBEATABLE EXERCISEIf you’ve ever been in a gym, the chances are you’ll have come across the Concept2 Indoor Rower, the best-selling rowing machine in the world.

It’s rare to find an activity that works as many muscle groups through as wide a range of motion as rowing does. Knees, hips, arms and shoulders each see 90-130 degrees of rotation in every stroke, much more than most other aerobic activities. This makes rowing a fantastic calorie burner, while also developing flexibility and strength.

Central to the Indoor Rowers success is the highly sophisticated Performance Monitor that offers immediate feedback on every stroke. The accuracy, reliability and comparability of the captured data allows you to reliably chart your progress and is unique within the fitness world, to the extent that it has created an entirely new indoor sport and a worldwide community of indoor rowing enthusiasts.

Rowing is impact-free and you can row as hard or as easily as you want, which makes it suitable for people of all ages and levels of fitness. The Indoor Rower is also built to last. All our machines are designed to cope with years of extreme, high volume punishment. Whether for use in a gym, Olympic training centre or your home, every machine meets the same high degree of quality control.

As a result, thousands of customers every month find rowing on the Concept2 Indoor Rower to be the best low-impact, full-body workout available.

MOTIVATIONAL SUPPORTThe fitness benefits may be what first attracts people to indoor rowing, but it’s the camaraderie and sense of community that keep them going. Join the online indoor rowing community to take full advantage of all we have to offer. There you can create your own personal online logbook, rank your personal best results on the World Ranking. You can also create your own personalised interactive training programme, participate in online rowing challenges, join the forum and start an online training diary.

If it’s competition you’re after, you’re not alone. Every year, over 25,000 people around the world compete in indoor rowing races. There’s everything from national and world championships through to local competitions. So, whether you row alone or with others, for competition or for fun, there’s nothing like indoor rowing.

When a customer buys a rowing machine from us it is the beginning of the relationship rather than the conclusion. We want you to use the machine when you’ve bought it, use it safely and reap the rewards

of regular use. For us, indoor rowing is an investment in your life.

THE ULTIMATE WORKOUT : FULL BODY. EVERY BODY

injury rehabThe low-impact nature of rowing makes it a great way to rebuild muscle tone and strength while increasing mobility and flexibility after an injury.

cross-trainingThe physical benefits of rowing are a natural complement to many sports such as running, swimming, cycling, tennis, or virtually anything else, making it a great way to cross train during the off-season.

lifetime fitnessWhether you’re 9 or 90, already fit or getting fit, rowing offers a superb aerobic workout to help you achieve your fitness goals.

competitionOriginally designed as a training tool for world class rowers, the Concept2 Indoor Rower continues to serve as a powerful off-water training tool for competitive rowers at all levels around the world.

Indoor rowing on the Concept2 Indoor Rower is firmly established as the gateway for people beginning rowing, and thereafter a fundametal component of a rower’s training mix. The value of indoor rowing, however, is not just limited to the sport of rowing. Sports as diverse as athletics, rugby, sailing, triathlon, football and Formula 1 have all embraced it.

LEGSEach rowing stroke involves full compression and extension of the legs, working the muscles of the calves, thighs, hamstrings, buttocks and hips. and because it’s low impact, it’s much easier on your knees than most activities that build leg strength.

CORERowing is one of the few exercise modes that will work your “core” abdominal and back muscles. Fitness experts believe a strong core yields numerous benefits, from a stronger back to better posture.

UPPER BODYRowing will strengthen and tone your upper body. Shoulders, back and arms are all involved in the rowing stroke.

HEART & LUNGSBecause rowing engages so many muscle groups simultaneously, it puts a healthy demand on the cardiovascular system resulting in improved cardiovascular health.

weight lossWhen used in conjunction with a careful diet, rowing can be a very efficient way to lose those excess kilos. This is becuase it employs all the major muscle groups to deliver a comprehensive workout with a motion that is smooth, rhythmic and impact-free. Being weight-bearing, it places a lot less stress on your body than activities such as jogging, making it an ideal exercise choice for those who are over-weight or have joint problems.

Consisting of a simple and easy to maintain track and carriage system, the Slide allows the Indoor Rower to move back and forth under the person rowing, adding an authentic on-water dimension to indoor rowing. The Slide also enables you to link an unlimited number of machines together to create the feel of rowing in a crew. Not only does it stimulate the feel of rowing on water but it also forces you to row together, thus helping to develop timing, slide control on the recovery and connection at the beginning of the stroke.
