The Concept2 story began with a clear vision: to redefine the sport of rowing. Dick and Pete Dreissigacker, Olympic rowers themselves, had a groundbreaking idea after their training—an idea that not only revolutionized rowing but became the foundation of what Concept2 is today.

Innovation that moves

With the development of the first Concept2 Indoor Rower in 1981, we created more than just a piece of fitness equipment—we ignited a global movement. Whether elite athletes, rehabilitation patients, or fitness beginners, our products inspire people around the world to push their limits and reach their full potential. Today—over four decades later—Concept2 stands for innovative training solutions that extend far beyond rowing:

With the RowErg, the SkiErg and the BikeErg, we offer versatile options for effective, holistic training.

Rowing – a passion for life

Rowing is more than a sport – it is a philosophy of life.

A powerful, low-impact movement suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Whether you're aiming for personal bests, improving your endurance, or simply want to escape the daily grind, Concept2 is with you every stroke, every breath, every goal.

Our mission is not only to develop exceptional products, but also to foster a strong community – consisting of athletes, coaches, studio operators, amateur rowers and all those who live and breathe movement.

Our drive – your motivation

We want to get people moving. We want to create fitness equipment that not only improves performance but also enhances quality of life. Whether in the home gym, in the studio, or on the water – Concept2 stands for a training experience that inspires.

For a passion that unites. For a quality that convinces.
