Concept2, Inc. is an American manufacturer of rowing equipment and exercise machines based in Morrisville, Vermont. It is best known for its air resistance indoor rowing machines (known as "ergometers" or "ergs"), which are considered the standard training and testing machines for competition rowers and can be found in most gyms.[1]
Competitive events rowed on Concept2 rowing machines include the CRASH-B Sprints (which style themselves "the world championship for indoor rowing"),[2] the British Rowing Indoor Championships competitions, and the CrossFit Games events (including the CrossFit Open and qualifiers).[3] Concept2 also manufactures oars for sculling and sweep rowing, as well as two other flywheel-based exercise machines: the SkiErg[4] for cross-country skiing and the BikeErg[5] for cycling.
