Ever wished you could hop on your RowErg and there would be someone there to row with? Or maybe you've wanted to go for a ski on the SkiErg with a friend in another state? Perhaps you’re heading out for a ride on your BikeErg and just curious to see who else is out riding? The Real Time Loop on ErgData makes all these things possible! 
We all have reasons that drive us to get on our Concept2 RowErgs, SkiErgs or BikeErgs every day and get those meters on the books. We talked to Concept2 employees at our Vermont headquarters and in our subsidiary offices to hear about what gets them on their machines each day. 
Concept2 ergs are designed to last, and we get many testimonials from customers who have been using their machines for years with little to no maintenance. We really like those stories!

Once again, we are impressed and humbled by our Concept2 community.

Together, your meters raised over $65,000 for five not-for-profit beneficiaries. 
Hopping on the RowErg and SkiErg for the 2022 Holiday Challenge it was grossly apparent that, while I’m active as ever, my RowErg and SkiErg times and capacity had taken some hits.

Here are some tips that might help you hit the reset button on your workouts.
