Concept2 StrengthErg Air Resistance Flywheel - Black

The Strength of Air Resistance

The StrengthErg is powered by Concept2’s signature flywheel technology, which can be varied in intensity depending on the combination of the damper setting and the amount of effort the user produces. The responsive nature of air resistance results in a variable load depending on the user’s strength. A lower damper setting, or less air resistance, produces a easy feel when pressing or pulling. A higher damper setting, or more air resistance, produces a heavier feel when pressing or pulling.

Another advantage of responsive resistance is that as your strength varies from one point in a lift to another, the resistance reacts to match. In traditional lifting, you can only put on the bar as much weight as you can lift at the weakest point in the lift, which may not be enough to challenge your muscles in the stronger part of the lift. 

Three Different Stations

You can move easily between three basic positions, with a wide range of variations and custom movements possible from each position. You can choose whether to work out at a low number of reps for a high amount of force, or you can choose to do a high number of reps and work on your muscular endurance.  It’s quick and easy to adjust the damper setting to make the movement slower or faster, so you can get the exact relationship between speed and force that you want for your training. 

“For longevity in strength training or starting at a later age, I see it as an excellent tool to teach movement patterns (squat, push, pull) without creating a significant amount of soreness or requiring much experience, thus allowing the ability to safely and effectively train more frequently and with good mechanics“

Track And Analyze Your Progress

With our free ErgData app, your workouts will be recorded automatically so you can track exactly how you’re improving, charting your results for each exercise.  

ErgData provides additional real-time metrics to what you see on the PM5, such as drive speed, drive length, time under tension and more.  It also has other features to help your training, including making it simple to set up and program your workouts and sharing your results with friends and coaches, as well as integrating with our Online Logbook.

Simple To Use

The StrengthErg delivers a concentric workout, offering a controlled and efficient way to strengthen muscles.  As it’s a guided movement, it’s safe for anyone to use, no matter their previous experience. There is no risk of failing to complete a repetition, or being “stuck under the bar”. This makes the StrengthErg ideal to use for a wide audience who want to improve their strength or benchmark their progress. It’s also easy for multiple people to use the machine if training together or in a circuit format – there’s no need to adjust weights: just hop straight on.   

“As a trainer, the StrengthErg fulfills a multitude of needs for me, especially the space saving aspect! The ability to have your own force determine your output means that I can use it with a wide variety of clients. The ease of use and the fact that it is one piece versus lots of external accessories, weights, racks, etc. is huge. You can always keep your workouts or group fitness classes fresh and exciting!

Two Different Monitoring Options

You can choose to purchase your StrengthErg with a Performance Monitor (PM5) to display your workout, or you can just use ErgData on your own phone or tablet.

With a PM5 monitor, plus device holder for use with ErgData

This option provides real-time workout feedback as a stand-alone machine for every user. The PM5 is highly recommended for multiuser environments such as gyms, sports teams, or family use. Anyone can also use ErgData on their personal device for additional metrics, logging workout history, and tracking improvement.

Device holder only. Use your own device and ErgData
This option is for those focused on automatically logging and tracking their workouts and who will always be using the StrengthErg with ErgData. ErgData is required for real-time feedback if there is no PM5.
