Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

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 will each see 90 - 130 degrees of rotation in every stroke, which is more than you'll find in most other aerobic activities. This greater muscle involvement makes rowing a fantastic calorie burner, while also developing flexibility and strength. Rowing is impact-free, and on the Concept2 Indoor Rower the intensity is completely user-controlled, meaning you can row as hard or as easily as you want, making it suitable for people of all ages and all walks of life. Thousands of customers each month have found rowing to be the best low-impact, full-body workout available.

The Indoor Rower is the world’s best selling rowing machine, one of the biggest reasons behind the Concept2 Indoor Rower's success is the Performance Monitor. A highly sophisticated piece of equipment, this helps set the Indoor Rower apart from other rowing machines and fitness equipment as it allows you to accurately compare times and distances between different machines and users. Not only does this mean it's possible for you to reliably chart your progress, but it has led directly to the creation of an entire sport with races run all over the world including the British Indoor Rowing Championship in Birmingham every autumn, and the new online Concept2 Challenge Series.

The Model D delivers proven performance and fitness benefits. Introduced in 2003, it is an institutional-grade rowing exercise machine with air-resistance flywheel, sliding seat, and self-calibrating electronic performance monitor it can be found in homes, health clubs, schools and training rooms around the globe.

The Concept2 Indoor Rower measures 240cm (7'11") long by 60cm (24") maximum width. An area of 275cm by 120cm (9' by 4') is required for operation of the machine. The monitor is powered by 2 D batteries which are included. No external power source is needed. Storage requirement for two upright pieces is 72cm x 90cm x 135cm high (28" x 35" x 4').

The Indoor Rower weighs 28 kilos (61 lbs). It has a detachable monorail which weighs approx. 8 kilos (18 lbs). The front half weighs approx. 19.5 kilos (43 lbs) and has caster wheels to move it around.

We recommend a maximum user weight of 500 pounds (approx 225 kilos, 35 stone) for the Indoor Rower.

Spare parts are available direct from us. Machines are user serviceable. Initial assembly takes approximately 30 minutes and subsequent installation of the most common spare parts is not difficult. Technical assistance is available during regular business hours (Monday - Friday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.) on 0115 945 5522.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concept 2 31 Mar 2011

By mlr

The whole process from ordering to delivery was quick efficient and trouble free. The Concept 2 rower is superb; it is easy to carry the various parts up or down stairs and quick to assemble (about 20 minutes). I find it superior to many cheaper rowers although cannot claim to have tried them all. Check dimensions because you will require about 2.4 x 0.75 meters of floor space. After only 6 weeks of daily use (10 - 20 minutes)my fitness levels and well being have improved dramatically and I presumed I was reasonably fit! Go for it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best exercise equipment I've owned 11 Jan 2011

By Petri

I recently did a workout on a Concept2 rowing machine in a gym and was impressed by the smooth and satisfying rowing experience. Now I've got this robust and well-made piece of equipment in my home. You can take it easy when you want to, or kill yourself in a grueling 30-minute workout for example. Perfect for me when it's cold, dark and windy outside, or when you hate working out in a crowded gym.

5.0 out of 5 stars quality engineering, quality exercise 16 Jan 2011

By bigflat TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE

Amazon Verified Purchase

I've used one of these for many years in the gym but lately i've been getting to the gym less and less due to a combination of procrastination and work. Having put on some weight i decided to finally buy a concept 2 for at home. Alhough the upfront cost is quite heavy, it is certainly money well spent. The quality of the build is excellent and surprisingly it looks quite stylish in my living room! The action is incredibly smooth and the PM3 monitor gives more than enough information to guide your workout intensity as well as coming with a chip embedded in a credit card type thing which can record your activities. If I had to take one piece of gym equipment to a desert island it would be the rower. In terms of a cardiovascular workout this rower can make me the most out of breath of any activity apart from running. What I'm saying is that its quite easy and natural to push yourself a bit further on this machine.

On amazon i selected express guaranteed next day delivery. Disappointingly amazon failed to deliver and it arrived 1 day late. Thusfar they have not refunded the 8.99 postage. Nevertheless, i trust amazon in other ways and to actually have it in stock for instant dispatch is a bonus. It arrives neatly packed in a large box and assembles quite easily although the parts are fairly heavy. I was worried it would buck about on the carpet but actually the rubber feet mean it doesn't move at all on a couple of rugs over my carpet. If you lift up the back end then you can roll it around the house on its front castor wheels. Its does make a fair bit of noise but probably not enough to annoy the neighbours, except through jealousy.
