C2-2800 Concept2 StrengthErg with PM5

Smart, safe and measurable strength training – without weights

The Concept2 StrengthErg is a compact, multifunctional strength training machine that uses air resistance instead of traditional weight stacks or barbells. This allows athletes of all levels to train safely, efficiently and with extreme accuracy, without the need for plates, racks or spotters. Developed by Concept2, the StrengthErg delivers the same proven flywheel technology found in Concept2’s world-class endurance equipment.

This version is supplied with PM5 monitor, including device holder for use with the free ErgData app.

The power of air resistance

The StrengthErg is driven by Concept2’s signature flywheel technology. Resistance is determined by:

• the damper setting
• and the force applied by the user

The harder you push or pull, the more resistance you generate. This responsive resistance adapts throughout the entire movement, ensuring optimal muscle loading at every point of the lift. Unlike traditional weight training, you are no longer limited by the weakest part of the movement, resulting in:

• greater muscle activation
• smoother force curves
• safer and more effective strength development

Lower damper settings create a heavier, more controlled feel, while higher settings allow for faster, more explosive movements.

Three training stations – endless versatility

The StrengthErg features three primary training positions, each allowing for a wide range of exercises and custom variations. This makes it easy to:

• train maximum strength with low repetitions
• build muscular endurance with higher reps
• fine-tune the relationship between speed and force

Adjusting the damper is quick and intuitive, allowing seamless transitions between training styles.

Track and analyse your performance

With the PM5 monitor and the free ErgData app, every workout is automatically recorded and analysed. In addition to standard metrics, ErgData provides advanced real-time data such as:

• force output
• stroke speed and stroke length
• time under tension

The app also supports workout programming, performance tracking over time and easy sharing with coaches or training partners, with full integration into the Concept2 Online Logbook.

Safe, accessible and easy to use

The StrengthErg delivers a controlled concentric workout through a fully guided movement path. This makes it:

• safe for beginners and advanced athletes
• ideal for rehabilitation and injury prevention
• perfect for circuits and group training

There is no risk of failing a rep or getting stuck under a load, and no time lost adjusting weights—simply step in and start training.
