Concept 2 Rowing Machines - A Leader in the World of Rowing |
 |
| By Travis Van Slooten, Founder & Editor Men's Total Fitness |
For over 25 years, the Concept 2 company has been a leader in the world of rowing. Concept 2 is committed to creating quality products for rowers, including some of the most innovative and highest quality indoor rowing machines on the market.
Back in 1976, Concept 2 moved their new company to an old dairy farm in Vermont with the goal of creating innovations in the world of rowing. The cold harsh Vermont winters led to the need for a quality indoor rowing machine, and the company continues to create some of the most sought after indoor rowing machines in the world.
The most popular of all the Concept 2 rowing machines on the market is
the Model D. These quality Concept 2 rowing machines retail for $850 and
feature some truly innovative features, including an innovative performance
monitor, the PM3. This unique performance monitor includes the Concept 2
LogCard function for ease of use.
Other great features of the Concept 2 rowing machines include a quiet
flywheel enclosure and an ergonomically designed handle for more comfortable
use. In addition, the generator feature is able to provide operating power
to the PM3 performance monitor. The monitor is powered through the rowing
motion of the exerciser, thereby extending the life of the battery.
The PM3 monitor on the Concept 2 rowing machines is entirely menu driven,
relieving you of the ability to memorize button combinations. This provides
you with the ability to simply row without the need to push any buttons at
all. These Concept 2 rowing machines feature a variety of graphic designs,
such as Paceboat, Force Curve and Bar chart, as well as a library of preset
workouts for ease of use.
In addition, the LogCard feature of the PM3 monitor lets you easily record
workouts and track your progress without the need to keep a written log
sheet. The LogCard is included with all Concept 2 rowing machines, and each
LogCard can hold information on up to five (5) users.
