The Concept2 RowErg Rowing Machine (PM5 Included), available from NovaraStudio UK, is designed for anyone looking for an effective, full-body, low-impact workout. Originally developed by rowers for rowers, the RowErg has become a recognised choice for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, rowing clubs and gyms thanks to its consistent performance, accurate monitoring and reliable construction.
The machine uses air resistance to provide a natural rowing experience. The harder you pull, the more resistance you generate, allowing you to control your effort according to your fitness level and training goals. Whether you want to improve cardiovascular endurance, build stamina or prepare for rowing competitions, the RowErg provides a practical way to measure your progress and maintain consistent training.
Size & Space Requirements
- The Concept2 RowErg measures 244 cm in length and 61 cm in width, providing a stable platform for a full rowing stroke.
- The seat height depends on the selected leg configuration, with standard legs offering a height of 36 cm and tall legs providing a height of 51 cm. The monorail measures 137 cm in length.
- 244 cm × 61 cm. Allowing additional clearance, a space of approximately 274 cm × 122 cm is recommended to accommodate rowing movements, mounting, dismounting and safe access around the machine.
Care & Maintenance
Regular care will help keep the Concept2 RowErg clean and ready for use.
-
Wipe down the seat, handle and other surfaces that come into contact with the hands or body after training.
-
Keep the aluminium frame clean and free from accumulated dust and sweat.
-
Inspect the chain, handle, seat, footrests and accessible components periodically for signs of wear or damage.
-
Keep the monorail clean to help the seat move smoothly during rowing.

Ensure the RowErg is correctly assembled and positioned on a stable, level surface.

Available Purchasing Options
The Concept2 RowErg Rowing Machine is available with two leg options to suit different seat-height preferences.
Option 1: Standard Legs
The standard-leg configuration provides a seat height of 36 cm from the floor. It is suitable for users who prefer a lower seating position and want a practical rowing machine for home workouts or gym training.
Option 2: Tall Legs
The tall-leg configuration provides a seat height of 51 cm from the floor. The raised seat may make getting on and off the machine more convenient for some users, depending on their height, mobility and individual requirements.
Both options include the PM5 Performance Monitor and device holder. The choice of legs affects the seat height, machine weight and storage dimensions.
