Concept 2 Strength Erg

Concept2 StrengthErg – Compact Air Resistance Strength Training Machine

The Concept2 StrengthErg is a versatile, space-saving strength machine designed to bring safe and effective training to your home or gym. Featuring air resistance technology, it eliminates the hassle of weight plates, racks, and barbells while delivering a smooth, responsive workout. Adjust your effort with ease—apply light or maximum force and the StrengthErg will measure and display your performance with precision. Pair it with the free ErgData app to track progress, analyze results, and stay motivated on your fitness journey.

The Strength of Air Resistance

Powered by Concept2’s signature flywheel technology, the StrengthErg delivers smooth, responsive air resistance that adapts to your effort. Adjust the damper setting to control airflow and fine-tune intensity—lower settings create a lighter feel, while higher settings add more resistance for a heavier, strength-focused workout.

Unlike traditional weightlifting, where resistance is limited by your weakest range of motion, the StrengthErg adapts instantly throughout the lift. This ensures your muscles are fully challenged at every stage of the movement, providing a safer, more effective strength-building experience.

Three Versatile Training Stations

The StrengthErg offers three primary workout positions, each with countless variations and custom movements to suit your training style. Easily switch between low-rep, high-force strength work or high-rep, endurance-focused sessions. With the quick-adjust damper setting, you can fine-tune the balance of speed and resistance, giving you full control to match every workout to your goals.

“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“

Scott Caulfield, Director of Strength & Conditioning, Norwich University

Track and Analyze Your Progress

With the free ErgData app, every workout is automatically recorded so you can clearly see your progress and measure improvements over time. The app provides detailed charts and results for each exercise, giving you a clear picture of how your strength and endurance are developing. Whether you’re working toward personal fitness goals or following a structured program, ErgData makes it easy to stay accountable and motivated.

ErgData also enhances your training experience by delivering advanced real-time metrics beyond the standard PM5 monitor, including drive speed, drive length, and time under tension. It simplifies workout setup and programming, integrates seamlessly with the Concept2 Online Logbook, and allows you to share results with friends, coaches, or teammates. With these powerful features, ErgData helps turn every session into a measurable step toward achieving your fitness goals.

The StrengthErg provides a concentric-only workout for controlled, efficient strength training. With its guided movement, there’s no risk of getting stuck under a bar or failing a rep—making it safe for beginners and advanced athletes alike. Ideal for individual training, group circuits, or family use, it requires no weight changes between users—just step on and start your workout.
