Concept2 StrengthErg Review

When it comes to conditioning equipment, you can always count on Concept2 to deliver. From the fully immersive Myrow to the uber-popular RowErg, the company has earned high marks from the Garage Gym Reviews team and plenty of support from the home gym community. 

However, Concept2’s latest foray in the space is fundamentally different, shifting the focus from cardiovascular fitness to strength training. While the concept (pun intended) of a three-in-one strength training machine that operates solely on air resistance sounds intriguing, we’ve all been disappointed by bold claims and “innovative” ideas before.

In this Concept2 StrengthErg Review, I’ll break down how this unique home gym machine works, who it’s best for, how much it costs, and more. Most importantly, you’ll get direct insight from Coop on what it’s like to train with the StrengthErg—and whether it’s worth its hefty price tag.
