Concept2 StrengthErg

The Concept2 StrengthErg is a compact, multifunctional strength-training machine designed to deliver effective resistance workouts without the need for weight plates, barbells or a traditional power rack. Using Concept2’s proven air-resistance flywheel technology, it allows you to train safely and efficiently while measuring your effort with precision.

Resistance is created by a combination of the damper setting and the amount of force you apply. Lower damper settings produce a lighter, faster feel, while higher settings create greater resistance. Because air resistance responds dynamically throughout each movement, the machine adapts to your effort instead of relying on a fixed load.

The StrengthErg supports three main exercise positions: Leg Press, Chest Press and Seated Row. Together, these movements target the major muscle groups of the lower body, chest, shoulders, arms and back, making the machine suitable for full-body strength and muscular-endurance training.

For lower-body work, the Leg Press targets the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings and calves. The Chest Press focuses on the pectorals, deltoids and triceps, while the Seated Row engages the lats, rhomboids, trapezius and biceps. You can use lower repetitions with higher force for strength-focused sessions, or increase repetitions to develop muscular endurance.

The machine can be used with Concept2’s free ErgData app, which records workouts and provides detailed performance information. Depending on the chosen version, the StrengthErg is available with a PM5 Performance Monitor and device holder or with a device holder only for users who prefer to use their own smartphone or tablet with ErgData.

When combined with ErgData, additional metrics such as drive speed, drive length and time under tension can be monitored alongside workout history and progress. The app also allows workouts to be programmed and results to be stored in the Concept2 Online Logbook.

The guided concentric movement makes training straightforward and controlled, with no risk of becoming trapped under a failed barbell repetition. This makes the StrengthErg suitable for beginners, experienced athletes, circuit training and multi-user environments where resistance needs to be adjusted quickly between users.

Despite being capable of resisting extremely high levels of force, the StrengthErg maintains a compact footprint. The aluminium construction weighs approximately 41 kg, while integrated caster wheels make it easier to reposition around a home or commercial gym.
