Introduction
Most gyms possess several Concept2 indoor rowing machines and a large number of people have machines at home.
These machines were originally designed as a training tool for water based rowers, either for physiological testing/monitoring or to enable “dry” training when water based work was not possible. However, the machines are now extremely prevalent in gyms and sports centres as CV equipment. Not only has there been this increased use of the machines away from rowing clubs, indoor rowing has now become a competitive sport in its own right, with regional, national and world championships. My own experience in gyms is that very few people use the machines with the correct technique or setting.
My aim is to equip people with the right technique and skills to achieve their specific personal fitness goals on the indoor rowing machine in a safe and enjoyable way.
