The Concept2 StrengthErg, available from NovaraStudio UK, is a compact, multifunctional strength training machine designed to deliver versatile workouts using air resistance. It offers an alternative to traditional strength equipment that relies on weight plates, barbells and racks. Users can apply as much or as little force as they need, while the machine accurately measures and displays their performance.
With its adaptable resistance system and compact design, the StrengthErg is a practical option for home gyms, fitness facilities and training spaces looking for flexible strength training equipment.
The machine can be paired with Concept2’s free ErgData app, which provides performance tracking and analysis to help users monitor progress towards their training goals. Bluetooth connectivity supports connection with compatible devices, while buyers can choose between an option with the PM5 Performance Monitor and device holder or a device-holder-only configuration for use with their own device.
With its aluminium construction, black finish and straightforward operating concept, the Concept2 StrengthErg provides a practical solution for users looking for measurable, adaptable strength training without traditional weight-loading equipment.
Size & Space Requirements
The Concept2 StrengthErg measures:
154 cm L × 66 cm W with pushbar
Without the pushbar, its overall width is 61 cm. The seat height is 53 cm, and the monorail measures 114 cm in length.
When planning the installation area, allow additional clearance for mounting, dismounting, movement during exercise and access to the device holder. The available space should accommodate the machine in its fully assembled state.
