The Concept2 SkiErg Cross-Country Ski Trainer (PM5 Included), available from NovaraStudio UK, delivers an effective full-body workout inspired by Nordic skiing. Originally created for cross-country skiers, it is widely used by athletes, gyms, and home fitness enthusiasts to develop strength, stamina, and cardiovascular endurance.
Featuring a black-finish aluminium frame and high-strength synthetic drive cords, the SkiErg uses an air-resistance flywheel the same proven system found in the Concept2 RowErg—to deliver smooth, user-controlled resistance. It engages the arms, shoulders, core, and legs, making it a low-impact alternative to traditional cardio. It is also suitable for users with lower-body mobility limitations under appropriate professional guidance.
The included PM5 Performance Monitor tracks workouts and progress over time, while the integrated smartphone cradle and handle hooks keep your training space organized.
