Replaced my old rower with the broken irreplaceable spring for new Concept II Model E. Chose it for it's easy to mount chair height, simplicity of operation and rave online reviews. Am not disappointed. I found it easy to set-up and enjoy the computer graphics and games. At 65 years old, I wanted the cardiac belt in case of future need. I row for the whole body stretching and fitness it provides. Enjoy the new workouts as much as biking and it is much easier on my old back. Quality of materials is superb. Size is comparable to my old unit so fits my space. Would definitely recommend to any rower or person looking for a great, non-contact workout.

I am using this after thinking that my Schwinn Airdyne had made me fit. Once I started using the C2 at cardio rehab I realized just how much further I needed to go. This machine shows me just where I need to work. Using it now for about three weeks I am showing progress and enjoying it more and more as a general fitness machine.

I have also found the web a very busy place for information on the C2 with various forums for support and encouragement.

This is winning combination for me.

I used this machine at the gym I worked out at occassionally and decided to buy one for my home gym. I love the study base and smooth operation. If you are going to row on a regular basis, it is definately worth the money to buy a higher end machine! Not for you if you have limited space and need to store this machine after use.

I bought and had the Model D but gave it to my daughter, so I decided to buy another and start trying to use it again and try to be competitive in a not so well known sport down here in deep, deep south Texas near the Rio Grande (Rio Bravo) area.

It is easy to use. Just get on the seat and start rowing. You don't need special clothing or clothing at all. You can work as hard or easy as you want. I will start slow and say to myself I will go easy, but before i know it I am rowing along at my top speed trying to beat last rows time. At the end of stressful day it has been a life saver.

My wife and I truly love the Concept 2 model E rower. It is quite a workout. I have always used a treadmill,but this is a much better workout.If you already have a treadmill you can do both which is what I do sometimes. The rower will not disppointment you. I look forward to the challenge it brings.

Everything is fine with the rower - in fact, very, very good.

Except - the seat. The seat is very uncomfortable after more than 4-5 minutes. It should be either padded or built with softer, more shock-absorbent material.

Right now, I have to put a pillow on the seat to use it more than a few minutes,

Top rated rowing machine and it did not disappoint us.

As a 75 Y.O. I greatly appreciate the user friendly aspects of this machine. One can easily adjust the rate and resistance to your individual abilities. There is no back strain, awkward positioning or need to be 'balance perfect'.It is a great complement to my usual form of exercise (brisk walking).

Rowed in college and have tried different rowers in gyms but never a C2. The C2 rower gave me the feel of rowing without the water. At 62, I decided that getting down on the floor to row would be harder in the future, so I got the Model E. Its very easy to get into and out, particularly when the muscles are a little stiff. I look forward to many years of exercising on this excellent rower.

I use the Concept2 trainer for bicycle racing cross trainer. It's easy to get heart rate up to near max and keep it there without having to do boring bike trainer riding. Now I have variety in my Winter-time training boredom!

Bought this rower for my husband, he always wanted one, I needed something that I could use everyday and not get bored after a few weeks. I started pilates classes twice a week but needed to do some cardio.
The rowing action is a great all over work out and the rhythmic motion helps to alleviate stress. After only 4 weeks I was getting definition back in my arms! Use it at least 4 times a week, started at 15 mins and added 2.30 mins each week. If you are thinking about getting this just buy it, you won't be disappointed.

I love this machine, I have an eliptical as well and hands down my new favorite machine is my Concept 2! It's very easy to use and you get a tremedous workout. The machine glides very well and makes your workout more impactful. As a mom still trying to stay in shape this is the best investment I have made.

This product is in our Fitness Center at work and it gets used a great deal. We recently got this product to replace an older rower. The differences have been night and day. The action is very smooth. It is easy to view the screen. I really feel the difference when I first used it. I love it.

I purchased this after starting the CrossFit program in May 2007. I did find that after 2-3 K, my buttocks became sore...added padding. Love this thing.

After making the mistake of buying a cheap $250 rower and spending the subsequent weeks ordering replacement parts, I decided to junk it and spend a little more on a durable rower. Very sturdy build. The rower came in two boxes. Only 8 screws and it was up and running. Simple, effortless setup.[...] As for the noise, it's no louder than a person jogging on a treadmill, and you won't hear any feet thumping throughout the house. I live in a townhouse and my neighbor tells me she can't hear it at all. I use this rower for both low impact workouts and high intensity training. Lost 20 pounds using this machine. I couldn't praise it enough. Well worth the money.

I mainly bought one of these to keep myself in shape when not in training - i.e in the summer months, but i have found myself using it all year round! There are the times when perhaps you've gone off your diet a bit and need to do some exercise and it's just there to use whenever you like. The only downsides are that perhaps it may be a bit too big for the area you're planning to put it in, and maybe the fact that it's a bit noisy, but that's only because it's air resistance. But other than that it's great!

What a workout for the whole body. And the quality and ease of use is unmatched. Much better than a eliptical or treadmill.

This Rower is a great rower. The equipment itself is reliable and built effectively. The PM4 is a great tool to monitor work outs. Concept2 has a great online community where you can find fellow rowers for support and challenges. All around I couldnt ask for better

I use my erg a lot and I love it! I got my Model E because of the fact that over the summer I'm unable to row as much as I would like, looking back I have to say that I would have gotten it anyway! The screen is easy to see and easy to read, plus it isn't hard to figure out what does what in the way of programing just by looking at it. Down Side? Well...if you have a small space this might not be the best piece of equipment simply because it's so large, and more than a little difficult to move. Other than that it's amazing all around!

Concept 2E defines longevity, both in its construction and in health. Quiet and smooth. Easy to hear others speaking, TV, etc. In no way is this air resistance mechanism loud. Very enjoyable and complete cardiovascular workout. Easily able to maintain heart rate at desired level. I use it in daily alternation with treadmill/running, etc.

I had another highly rated rower, but it was not the concepts II. I did not get the workout I wanted. So, I ordered the best. Now I work on a solid machine that is smooth, sturdy, and makes me sweat like mad. If you are serious about your workout, buy this machine!

I started using the Cocept 2 Model C back in 2001. I fell in love with it then and always wanted one. This year I decided that it was time to step up to the plate and stop talking about it. The Model is wonderful. Great PM4 usage (I wish it was an LCD, but hey, not willing to pay that much more for it) The Online community seems helpful as well.

This product is extremely well built and should last forever. The interface and optional software make it fun to use and add competition in an individual/solo environment.
This should be the 1st piece of equipment you own.

I bought this rower for my husband who works out weekly with a personal trainer and does 1/2 marathons on weekends. This rower is the rower he uses with his personal trainer and is by far the best quality for the money. We never break it down - so I don't know about easy storage! My husband uses it during the week and weekends and while it is a little noisier than the water rowers, it does a great job.
