Concept2
Industry-standard rowing machines, bike ergs, and ski ergs.
Regions: US, International
Concept2 makes the RowErg, BikeErg, and SkiErg — durable, precisely calibrated ergometers that are effectively the standard for rowing and erg training in commercial gyms, boutique studios, and competitive settings. For rowing-based or functional-fitness concepts, Concept2 is a near-default choice: the machines are famously reliable, low-maintenance, and hold resale value, which lowers total cost of ownership across a fleet. Pricing is relatively accessible per unit, making them one of the easier equipment lines to standardize across many locations.
