Featured Weekly Winners
Linda Desrosiers
I started rowing on the water in 2002 and got on the erg for the first time that summer. Sometimes I just can’t stop myself now. But the best part of this sport on and off the water are the people. More…
Daniel Berthiaume
I started rowing in a gym early in 1998 on a Concept2 Indoor Rower but soon realized home was more time efficient. So in late 1998 I bought my own and got to work. More…
Gordon Lindsay
I started rowing to try to keep fit, a useful prerequisite for a part time Scuba Instructor. I hope to complete my 4,000,000 meters in the next couple of months. I am originally from Scotland but working overseas for an oilfield service company. My indoor rower has now had four international moves but I’ve had many more. I would like to thank the team at Concept2 HQ… More…
Duane Leonard
It was only by a lucky chance that I got into the Concept2 family. A friend GAVE me an older C2 and two months later (in January 2005) I purchased a Model D Indoor Rower. I rowed "in the closet" for about a year and then (from the C2 magazine) learned of the Ancients (virtual team for folks over 60) and was adopted into another family. More…
Ray Griggs
I arrived at the Naval Academy in 1976 from Colorado looking for a sport. I had received a postcard from Coach Clothier, explaining that many of their best oarsmen had no rowing experience but if I was willing to work hard and follow instructions, I might enjoy it. More…
Bob Wild
My introduction to rowing came at MIT where I rowed on the heavyweight varsity crew from 1960 to 1964. I did not do any serious on-water rowing again until 2003 when a group of MIT alum from the early sixties competed in the masters' race at the IRA, something we have done all but one year since. More…
Margaret Wright
I used to run (slowly) until my knee decided it wasn't for me, despite surgery. Walking and bicycling are better but still make my knee sore. I've had a Concept2 Indoor Rower for several years, but hadn't used it much—I don't have much upper body strength, and never really gave it a chance. More…
