Adapting the SkiErg

The Concept2 SkiErg offers accessible exercise without the need for special adaptations. It is easily used by those with lower body limitation or injuries and delivers quality cardiovascular training. The long drive cords enable the SkiErg to be used from a seated position, working your core and upper body, whether from a stool, chair or other seat.

With some simple adaptations, it can accommodate an even broader range of accessibility needs.

Wall Mount

The SkiErg can be mounted on a wall to provide the most compact option. Wall mounting also allows the greatest flexibility for setting up seating like a stool, higher seat, or rolling up a wheelchair.

Floor Stand

The optional floor stand, with its anti-skid deck and caster wheels, makes the SkiErg instantly mobile, adding flexibility on location. Place a stool right on the floor stand or use with most wheelchairs. The floor stand comes in a standard and a wide version.  

Handle Cord Extensions

SkiErg2

For use with the SkiErg2 (the black SkiErg manufactured from August 2014 to present), the SkiErg Handle Cord Extensions lengthen the handle cord to enable use of the SkiErg2 from a seated position. Installation is easy and the extensions add approximately 32 inches to each handle cord. The extensions feature a convenient connection link, so grips can be quickly changed to allow for use in the standing position. The kit includes grips that can be used when standing. Sold as an accessory item. Compatible with the SkiErg2 only. To purchase, call 800.245.5676.

SkiErg1

For use with the SkiErg1, the SkiErg Handle Cord Extensions extends the handles to enable use of the SkiErg1 from a seated position. The extensions install quickly and can be removed easily to accommodate a variety of users. Installed extensions add approximately 28 inches to each handle cord. Sold as an accessory item. Compatible with the SkiErg1 only.
