Michael White
Just over a year ago I was on vacation on the beautiful island of Majorca. The weather, usually nice and hot there at that time of year, was fairly overcast. Not being able to spend the day by the pool was probably a blessing for the other guests, not having to stare at my alabaster overhang! More…
Fred Mraz
I first discovered the Concept2 rowing machine at a local YMCA and I used it as my daughters attended swim practice. The Y had posted a challenge for the best times to row a 2K, based on age category, and I decided to try it out. Quickly rising to the top of the list, I thought it might be fun to give rowing on the water a try… More…
Stephen Loaiza
I began rowing over 25 years ago when all the roads I was running went uphill and the basketball court went up both ways from the center jump area. I’ve always loved the water and rowing satisfied all my physical, mental and emotional goals. Needless to say I fell in love with rowing. My first experience rowing a boat with a sliding seat lasted 2½ hours. More…
Josephine Lau
The man who started it all for our family was Dr. Goh Kong Chuan, the CEO of Oarobics Sports Enterprise in Penang, Malaysia. He is an excellent living example of health and fitness. I believe he is in his late 60s but there is not an ounce of fat in him! Whenever I see him, I feel inspired. It would be a dream come true to look like him in my 60s! More…
Igor Zak
I started rowing at age 53, because I needed to improve my physical condition. It was finally time for me to take time for me. I took my family on a trip to the Hawaiian Islands, the summer before I started rowing, and found myself often out of breath on the 27 hikes we completed. More…
Redmond Paul
The first time I tried a Concept2 Indoor Rower was at a local YMCA in the 90's. I referred to it as a torture device. I bought my own indoor rower and let it sit around the house for a few years before the day I said "I'm going to row 10,000 meters" (non-stop). 6,000,000+ meters later, I'm still hooked. More…
