Shawn Ramirez, USA, Crossfit Masters Athlete

My name is Shawn Ramirez and I am a CrossFit Games 40-44 Masters Competitor. I wanted tofirst, Thank You for putting out the absolute BEST product that enabled meto keep my endurance and met-con up without putting stress onmy joints and ankle in particular. In 1999, I sustained a devastating blow tomy calcaneus inan accident in Europe, which left meunable to walk. The Doctors in Spain, woke meup with a prognosis that I possibly wouldn't be able to ever walk again. This gave me a surge ofwill and power that motivated me beyond measure. Within just 3 months of intense therapy, I was back onmy feet, ready to take on the world. Fast forward several years later, to the 2014 CrossFit Games, and I was able to "walk" off the podium, crowned as "The Fittest Man on Earth." I'm writing this letter to Thank You from the bottom ofmy heart for producing a product that allowed meto overcome this tragedy, enabling meto avoid compound pressure onmy heel, which led meto become the CF Games World Champion! Keep doing what you do, truly making a difference in many lives!

“I absolutely love the BikeErg marrying together the old school qualities of a spin bike with essentially the qualities of a C2 rower. Being able to adjust the damper settings for a different stimulus is perfect for CrossFit training but what I really love is being able to alter the position of the ride by moving the handle height. As an affiliate owner, we have so many different people that need to modify workouts for various reasons and we are able to accommodate this by changing the position in which they ride.”

“The BikeErg has been a fundamental piece of my training leading into the CrossFit Games.” 

"In 2006 I lost my leg in an accident while serving in the NZ Army. During my recovery from the accident I discovered the Concept2 rowing machine. The rowing machine has been a huge part of my journey as well as my training for the Invictus Games...Rowing for long distances has been a struggle this year, with a long history hip flexor issues since my accident it’s been a challenge to extend on the drive. Lucky for me the Invictus Games Rowing events are just a 1 minute and 4 minute row. Having the rowing machine at home has given me the advantage of knowing my race. The goal is to race your own race and if you do well anything can happen."

 

"The Concept 2 indoor rower has been an awesome addition to my training for motocross over the past year. It has helped with whole body strength asitis a full body work out. I replace the standard bars with motorbike handle bars to replicate riding a motorbike as much as possible tohelp use the muscles I use when riding my bike. I highly recommend a Concept 2 indoor rower tonot just all motocross riders but to anyone that is looking for a full body work out."
