Holiday Gift Ideas from Concept2

If you're thinking about holiday gifts to support the health and fitness of friends and family, Concept2 has gift ideas, and some of them are free!

1. For the home gym

Row, ski or ride to fitness with our RowErg ($990), SkiErg ($1070 with optional Floor Stand) and BikeErg ($1100). Our family of ergs reliably measure your work and when used together, they provide complementary workouts for full-body fitness. Each erg includes the PM5 Performance Monitor to help monitor progress.

2. Free gifts all year long

We know that these are not gifts to give in the traditional sense, but sharing the knowledge they exist and encouraging their use for health, well being, motivation and camaraderie is often the best gift of all, especially during these hectic times. We hope you agree!

Our free ErgData app is a personal training partner, serving as the connection to the Concept2 community. Set up workouts straight from ErgData and store them as favorites, take part in the Concept2 Workout of the Day, view additional statistics and information during workouts, track and analyze progress and more. ErgData syncs with the Concept2 Online Logbook, so as well as taking part in our online challenges, one can send workouts to other platforms such as Strava and Garmin Connect.

For that extra boost of motivation this holiday season, follow along with the Concept2 Workout Podcast As the Flywheel Spins. Concept2 Trainer Cady Hart-Pettersen takes her listeners through guided workouts and ensures a great experience every time.

Invite friends and family to join you for one of our free challenges. Join us for the annual Holiday Challenge to help earn money for charities! Are you looking to jump start your routine for the New Year? Kick off 2023 with the January Revolutions Challenge and commit to a year of good health.

3. Make it easy to connect to apps and shows

Our phone cradle and device holders make it easy to use a fitness app or enjoy favorite programs. The Smartphone Cradle (compatible with the PM3, PM4 and PM5) is a convenient way to perch a phone while working out to the podcast and keeping data within reach. Our device holder ($25) for the RowErg and BikeErg is a quick and easy retrofit that accommodates most smartphones and tablets and allows for easy viewing of fitness apps and shows. Find the right app that motivates you, whether you want to follow along with a Regatta Fitness trainer or cycle against other athletes on Zwift.

4. Gear for the newbie

Comfortable workout gear is always appreciated, and we have a few essentials that may fit the bill. We have a selection of T-shirts ($16–$25) and rowing shorts ($29–$53) available. Our rowing shorts are made specifically to give a little padding where you need it. Think your athlete might be looking for a tad more comfort? It so, our seat pad ($3.50) is an affordable option.

Consider a Concept2 floor mat for the RowErg or BikeErg ($55). It's perfectly sized to fit under either machine, and helps protect floor surfaces and eliminate slippage.

5. Train smart(er)

Take workouts to the next level with heart rate equipment. Choose from compatible heart rate monitors for the PM2 all the way up to the PM5.

The PM5 ($160–$185), our latest Performance Monitor, can be retrofitted to all Concept2 machines. With wireless connectivity and a backlit display, the PM5 makes a great upgrade for athletes on your list looking for all the latest features.

6. Ready all, row! For the on-water athlete

Even though the lakes freeze over here in Vermont, we can’t help dreaming of spring training. Make travel easier with a Scull Case ($170). It protects equipment and is perfectly sized “wrapping paper” for new sculls! (If you order new sculls, we can even ship them in the case.)
