Whether you already row or are considering rowing as a way to keep in shape, cross train for another sport, or compete on the water, the Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine is a terrific choice.

The Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine adds to these benefits by offering such features as a quiet flywheel that’s designed to minimize noise while providing the smooth feel of rowing on the water, along with a spiral damper that lets rowers choose the feel of a sleek, fast boat or a slow, heavy boat.

The Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine offers a different rowing experience than the rowing you did as a kid. The difference lies in the sliding seat, which compresses and extends your legs with every stroke, in addition to the more obvious work being done by the back and arms. This promotes both strength and flexibility throughout the wide range of leg and arm motion, while challenging the back in the middle of the stroke and the abs at the end.

In addition, customers say that the rhythmic nature of rowing helps clear the head and ease the stress of the day.

The Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine comes with a PM3 performance monitor that accurately tracks your distance, speed, pace, calories, and watts, with five display options for rowers–all data, force curve, rowing with a pace boat, bar chart, and large print. The monitor also provides easy menu-driven operation, letting you access a powerful list of features, including preset and favorite workouts, trials against a previous performance or pace boat, FISH games, animated rowers that teach techniques, and multiple language options.

If motivation is what you need, you’ll find it in Concept2’s online challenges, Million Meter Club, and online ranking.

The Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine is also notably comfortable, with an ergonomic handle that allows for a natural arm and hand position; an aluminum rail capped with a stainless-steel track for smooth seat movements; and adjustable Flex-foot footrests.

Other details include a removable LogCard that stores your workout data and personal preferences; built-in heart rate monitoring with an optional Polar receiver (sold separately); a USB interface for easy data transfer to a PC or Mac; caster wheels for quick mobility; and a collapsible design for efficient transport and storage.

The Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine requires a footprint of 9 by 4 feet for use and offers a weight capacity of 500 pounds. It also carries a five-year warranty on frame parts and a two-year warranty on moving parts and the monitor.

Manufactured by the company that set the standard in rowing, the Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine delivers proven performance and fitness benefits.

The self-calibrating Performance Monitor (PM3), included with each Model D, displays workout data, five display options, a LogCard to record results, games and more! Every Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine comes with a 30-day money back guarantee and limited 2-year parts, 5-year frame warranty.
