Detailed Review of the Concept 2 SkiErg With PM5

A superior machine that delivers all the cardio benefits of skiing to your indoor gym.

The Concept2 SkiErg has been professionally designed to bring you the long-recognised strength and endurance benefits of Nordic skiing, without the need to hit the piste. The flywheel and damper allow for fluid arm movements and the machine can be used for both the double pole and alternating arm techniques.

The handles on the SkiErg are strapless and ergonomically designed to fit any size of hand without the need to adjust them. They also don’t absorb sweat, making them comfortable to hold even during intensive workouts. You can choose to mount the Ski Erg to the wall as the most compact option, or use it with a floor stand if you want to keep it mobile.

What sets the SkiErg apart from other exercise machines, even non-ski ones, is the advanced PM5 monitor which gives you accurate feedback on the distance, speed, pace and calorie consumption of your workout. If you have a chest strap, the Ski Erg also supports ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart for wireless heart rate monitoring. Finally, if you’ve got an iPhone or an Android you can connect to the PM5 via an app and store your workout readings for later analysis.

Concept2 are well known for their rowing machines and they’ve used the same flywheel technology in the SkiErg to ensure quality. Ski machines are certainly less common in the world of fitness and consequently you’ll pay more, but for those looking to keep their workouts interesting by doing something different the SkiErg is an ideal choice. Other ski machines tend to be bulky and feel far from natural to use. Concept2 have used their engineering experience to overcome both these problems.
