Is it difficult to put together?

The Indoor Rower requires very little assembly - just the installation of the front legs and the frame lock, using a total of 10 screws. We include the necessary tool and clear instructions with lots of pictures. Allow about half an hour for the job.

Is it easy to store?

A unique self-locking system eables the monorail and seat section to be detached from the flywheel section for easy storage. The monorail is lightweight and the built-in casters make it easy for one person to move the heavier flywheel section of the Indoor Rower.

When I'm using the heart rate option available for the Rower, am I attached to any wires?

No, you are not attached to any wires when using the heart rate interface available for the rower. You are wearing a WIRELESS Polar chest strap. A wireless signal is sent from the chest strap to a receiver and your heart rate is displayed in the lower right corner of the display.

What type of Batteries does the Monitor use?

The PM2 uses 2 x standard AA batteries.

The PM3 uses D Cell Batteries. The Model D has a Power Generation feature meaning that when you row, you charge the batteries and supply power to the monitor, greatly extending battery life.

The PM4 for the Model D and E comes equipped with a rechargeable battery pack. The recharge rate depends on the usage pattern of the rower: the more and harder your row, the more quickly the PM4 charges. The rechargeable battery pack works only when a PM4 is installed on a Model D or E Indoor rower, and is more effective when the PM4 is being used wth a Model E Indoor Rower versus use with a Model D. All PM4s are also equipped to use two D-Cell (IEC LR20) batteries. Retrofit PM4s for Model A/B/C will come shipped with D Cell batteries.

What is the warranty on the Indoor Rower?

The rower comes with a two year limited warranty on all parts excluding batteries, and five years on frame parts. This warranty does not cover: damage sustained as a result from neglect, abuse or failure to follow proper maintenance requirements; shipping charges or labour for installation of any parts shipped to you under warranty. A copy of the warranty is included with every machine.

Do you have a return policy?

If, within 30 days of shipment of your Indoor Rower, you are not satisfied with it, you may return it to us. All shipping costs are your responsibility. We will refund the cost of the machine.

Is there a user weight limit?

500lbs / 227kg

How long is the Rower going to last me? Is it well built?

All Concept2 Indoor Rowers are of commercial grade and designed for institutional use. There is no such thing as a home model. The model you buy as an individual is the same as the model a health club or university would buy. As a home user you can expect the rower to last a lifetime with minimal maintenance.

How does the flywheel work?

Resistance on the Indoor Rower is adjusted by means of a damper lever on the side of the flywheel. Offering a wide range of resistance the damper lever increases or decreases the amount of air flow into the flywheel. The greater the airflow (damper setting 10), the greater the resistance and vice versa.

Note: The settings 1-10 on the Indoor Rower are not work level settings or fitness level settings. The intensity of your workout is controlled by how hard you pull on the handle and is calculated and displayed by the performance monitor as you row. Your accomplishment is indicated by the monitor, not the setting of the wind damper. As your fitness level and rowing skill improves you will be able to achieve better scores... ie. faster pace, higher watt output, or greater rate of calorie consumption... regardless of the damper setting in which you choose to row.
