Concept2 | Indoor Rower - RowErg with Standard Legs - PM5
The Concept2 RowErg™ sets the standard for indoor rowing machines. Built by rowers, for rowers, the RowErg is used by people of all ages and abilities worldwide who want a full-body, low-impact workout.
As engineers, we value clean, effective design. The RowErg is engineered to work smoothly, be easy to maintain, and last a lifetime. This is the same machine used by Olympic- and elite-level athletes to train for their sport—it’ll take the abuse of heavy training day after day. At the same time, it supports the training goals of everyone, whether you’re just starting out on your fitness journey, looking to start something new, or a long-time athlete.
NEW: The Concept2 RowErg is available with either standard or tall legs. The standard legs give a 14 inch (36 cm) seat height while the taller legs make the seat 20 inches (51 cm) from the floor. The tall leg option replaces the Model E, which is now discontinued. A higher seat is not required for taller users, and both machines will fit inseams up to 38 inches (96.5 cm). Rowers with an inseam longer than this may require an extra-long monorail.
Reliable Workout Data
The powerful PM5 Performance Monitor, standard with every RowErg, provides repeatable, comparable data for every workout. The PM5 offers a simple “Just Row” mode or allows you to set up a variety of workouts. The monitor shows you a wide range of data, including pace, watts, stroke rate and Calories and automatically stores this information in either its internal memory or a USB drive. Either way, it's easy to transfer your workouts to our free Online Logbook.
Connected Training
If you're looking for a more immersive training experience or a live competition or coaching option—there’s an app for that! Our PM5 is an open platform, which means you can connect wirelessly via Bluetooth to a wide variety of apps, including our own ErgData and other third-party apps, that give you the training motivation and support that you want. You’re not locked into a single experience with Concept2, but you do have our commitment that your machine’s performance and your workout measurement will be reliable, no matter what other workout experience you connect. You can also connect to heart rate equipment and devices with ANT+.
One Machine, Two Height Options
Our standard RowErg has a 14” seat height, while our elevated version has taller legs that provide a 20” seat height. The elevated version is a good choice if you like the convenience and appearance of a taller machine. The increased seat height can also make it easier to get on and off.
Flywheel and Damper
Our RowErgs use air resistance to respond to your effort on every stroke, so you are in full control of your exertion and resistance at all times. The spiral damper allows you to easily adjust the airflow to the flywheel, so you can change the feel of the stroke to suit your preference. The flywheel design minimizes noise while maximizing a smooth feel.
Storage and Mobility
The RowErg is easy to wheel around for workouts and can be quickly separated into two pieces (no tools required) for compact storage. Ideal for homes or gyms that need flexible space. The taller legs of the elevated version feature large caster wheels for easier moving.
Adjustable Footrests and Ergonomic Handle
Adjustable footrests allow for quick and easy sizing to fit a wide range of shoe sizes. We designed the ergonomic handle with a 10-degree bend that allows you to row comfortably with a natural arm and hand position.
Easy To Assemble
All that is needed to assemble the RowErg is to install the front legs. We include all necessary tools and clear, illustrated instructions. Takes just 20–30 minutes. View the assembly video.
Durable Construction That’s Easy to Maintain
Our machines are famous for their durability. Tough and built to last, our machines withstand rigorous use in boathouses, training centers, living rooms, hotels, health clubs and military bases around the world. We make sure our machines are easy to care for so you can focus on using your investment, not maintaining it.

Is the Concept2 RowErg with Tall Legs the same as the Model E Indoor Rower?
The Concept2 RowErg is available with either standard or tall legs.
The RowErg with standard legs has a seat height of 14 inches/36 cm and is the same as the Model D Indoor Rower. The only difference is the new name and machine graphics.
The RowErg with tall legs has an elevated seat height of 20 inches/51 cm and replaces the Model E Indoor Rower, which is discontinued. The difference is that now, the higher seat is achieved by adding taller front and rear legs to the popular Model D design. This means the elevated and standard height RowErgs both now have the same adjustable monitor arm and graphics. The taller legs of the elevated version feature large caster wheels.
Why might the RowErg with Tall Legs be right for me?
Some people prefer the additional height of the elevated version. These reasons include:
- Places such as gyms or health clubs might prefer their users to be seated at a similar height to users on other equipment, making the RowErg more visible.
- The additional seat height makes it easier for some people to get on and off the machine, increasing accessibility.
- The appearance of the taller RowErg.
Note: The only difference between the standard and elevated version is the seat height provided by the taller legs. Everything else on the machine is the same.
Why do you now call it the RowErg?
The new name RowErg aligns better with our other two ergometers, the SkiErg and the BikeErg. All of our exercise machines are technically ergometers, or “ergs” for short, because they actually measure the work that you are doing.
Is the RowErg available in gray?
No. Both height options of the RowErg are available only in black
