SkiErg
Price range: $850.00 through $1,100.00
The Concept2 SkiErg brings Nordic skiing indoors, driven by the same flywheel as the RowErg through a high-strength synthetic cord. You stand to use it and pull down with both arms, making it one of the few machines that trains the upper body and core through a full range while still providing cardio.
The PM5 performance monitor is included. It connects to Concept2’s free ErgData app for iOS and Android, logs to their online logbook, and runs on two D cells topped up by the flywheel while you ski.
Three mounting configurations are available. The wall-mounted option is $850 and takes up the least space, standing 85″ high and only 16″ deep, which suits a garage or a spare wall. The standard floor stand costs $1,070 and needs no drilling, occupying 23.5″ x 50″. The wide floor stand costs $1,100 and offers a broader 32″ x 52″ base for more stability.
The SkiErg itself weighs 41 lb, with the standard stand adding 35 lb and the wide stand 42 lb. The box includes the PM5, handle hooks, a phone cradle, the manual, the PM quick start guide, and tools and illustrated assembly instructions. Concept2 gives a 30-day money-back guarantee alongside their 2- and 5-year warranty.
