Concept2 Games: 6 Fun classics and live community rowing


Owning a Concept2 RowErg rowing machine doesn’t just provide you with a high quality built machine and excellent rowing experience but it also gives you fun Concept2 games to use with your RowErg. Here are the included Concept2 games that Concept2 provides for you.


Concept2 Games Included:

Fish game – Eating the smaller fish and avoiding the sharks is a great warm up exercise and also good for Pick drills (e.g. Arms only, Legs only etc.). It is also great for modulating your intensity and gives you a great varied HIIT workout. The fish game is the most popular of the Concept2 games and is a fun way to clock up meters on the rower without even realizing it.

Darts – Increase your awareness and focus of your technique and stroke rate as well as bring consistency to your strokes and workout. Playing Darts is also a great way to warm up.

Target Training – Is similar to Darts , but you can set targets for pace and tempo

Racing – Your RowErg can be linked to another PM5 monitor for racing so you are able to race against a person on another Concept2 RowErg using time or distance.

Biathlon – Used in actual biathlon events, you can choose intervals and interval length and incorporate other exercises including bodyweight exercises like push ups or sit-ups etc. or can be used with other Concept2 machines like the SkiErg or BikErg. Great for mixing up your training and also incorporate rowing into your workout circuit.

PaceBoat – Not really a game but it can be a bit of a game to set up a pace boat and race against yourself or track at a certain pace

Concept2’s Real Time Loop
Also not so much a game but a lot of fun none the less, Concept2’s real time loop was released earlier this year and features the ability to row alongside or race / chase other Concept2 members around the virtual loop track. In order to join the real time loop you will need to connect your PM5 with your phone or tablet via Bluetooth and download the free ErgData app from Concept2
