As part of my continued recovery from a broken arm, I bought this rowing machine to continue my physical therapy at home. Assembly was easy and it came with all the tools you need. Setup was easy with the phone app. I signed up with their online community and really appreciate the daily workouts. I’m really excited about using this machine. I would definitely recommend buying one for a whole body workout.

Concept 2 rower is one of the best investments I've ever made. First of all... if you're deciding between rowing machines just stop. Get Concept 2. Olympians and professional athletes train on this machine. The rowing community uses this machine. There are tons of great challenges / teams / an online community to be a part of. The construction is nearly indestructible: spring through fall it was often outside on a deck next to the salty and wet Atlantic air. The kind of air that rusts out car frames within a decade. And this thing was a champ with only minor maintenance using hardware and tools that aren't hard to find. It's the de facto machine for a reason and I'm so happy I didn't get some dumb fancy water rower. If you aren't familiar with rowing as an exercise, it can be a little awkward at first. But it's easy to find great instructional videos. I've rowed ~4-6 times per week for the last 5 years. I've played every sport and trained in nearly every way. Rowing is in the upper echelon of full body fitness... alongside combat sports and swimming. Rowing gives you everything: stamina, sustained explosive strength, USEFUL muscle mass, toughness and discipline. After a few years using a rower I also picked up the Concept 2 Ski Erg and highly recommend it. It's a perfect compliment to the rower because it trains anterior muscles and the rower trains (mostly) posterior.

Of course, we love the rower and it was not too difficult to assemble. We took away 1 star because there is so much styrofoam packing in the box. Can you try to work towards more ecological packing?

Rogue is top notch. I’ve got quite a few great pieces and the concept rowerg is a great addition to my studio.

Well made and easy to assemble, operates smoothly and is pleasure to use.

I've had this for about a week now and do not regret the purchase. Very easy to assemble. No major programming required to start with, just entering the current day and time and you are ready to go! Also feels like a quality machine so far. Nothing bad to say about it.

In the army, leadership used to make us row as punishment. Now years later and with a bum knee, it's the only cardio i can stay steady for thirty minutes straight. Five thousand meters for thirty is fun torture

Ultimate rower. It will get you in shape. It has many modes to row to keep it fun.
