Designed for on water rowers, the Dynamic RowErg better simulates the physics experienced while rowing a racing shell and the "dynamics" between the boat and athlete. On the Dynamic erg, a user's body mass is relatively stationary while components of the machine actively move in response to the rowing motion. This is similar to the way a lightweight rowing shell moves around the rower's body. The Dynamic RowErg is recommended only for people who row on the water.
Athletes who are looking for a more specific technical approach should consider the Dynamic. It encourages the rower to use the same precise coordination, connection and power application required to achieve maximum speed in a racing boat. The RowErg (known previously as the Model D) is still the standard for rowers training for indoor rowing competitions, attempting world records, or submitting scores for recruiting.
I'd recommend the Dynamic Indoor Rower to anyone who wants to progress their technical ability. It is a great machine and a great step forward into a more technical specific boat feel machine. Anyone will be able to use the machine, but will they be able to use it to the best of their potential! That is what people need to ask themselves and then train, train, train, to achieve it!

Use the Dynamic Link (sold separately) to connect two or more Dynamics together for team training. Using the Link you can easily row with a partner, set up an entire 8+, or anything in between.
Whatever your goal, the PM5 is your loyal training partner. The PM5 allows you to track your progress with time, distance, pace, Calories and watts. Compare your results with any other Performance Monitor around the world. Choose from a library of preset workouts or set up your own—your results are automatically saved.
"They are great machines—very compact and portable. It’s just very durable. It’s very familiar. It has the monitor the way we like it. It gives you the same information. It definitely feels like a boat. I’m very excited to have one, and we’ll be using them a lot. I think people should buy them, use them in their programs, and they will have an impact. Concept2, thank you for making such a high-quality dynamic erg."

ErgData is our free app for iOS and Android devices that connects to the Performance Monitor. You can choose to erg together with other members of the community on the Real Time Loop, our virtual course that is always open. You can set up workouts straight from ErgData and store them as favorites; take part in the Concept2 Workout of the Day; view additional live information during workouts; track and analyze your progress and more.
The Dynamic must be stored fully assembled, but with a small 76 in (193 cm) footprint when compared to a RowErg on Slides (132 in/335 cm), you’ll be able to get more Dynamics in your boathouse. As a product aimed at on water rowers, it is important to understand the function of the Dynamic erg and not choose it just for its smaller footprint.
We made our first rowing machine back in 1981 as a winter training device for rowers. Since then, our machine has given rise to the sport of indoor rowing and its use has grown to include everyone from Olympians to CrossFitters to people just wanting a great workout.
Since that first rowing machine, we continue to refine and improve on our design so that we build the best rowing machine we can
