Concept2 Forum

Hector, For what it's worth, I owned both a "fluid rower", by First Degree Fitness, and Concept 2. The fluid rower was not quite the water rower with the wooden frame, so it's not a direct comparison. I have owned the Concept 2 for a year now. I wrote a bit about it here : http://www.c2forum.com/vie...

Tlead, Good luck with the CL scour! I can relate. I spent about a year looking, but every one I came across was just a few hundred shy of what Concept 2 was asking, so I bit the bullet that way and ended up buying new...but not regretting it at all. By this time next year, it will have paid for itse...

Slidewinder, Can you please use this opportunity to explain to everyone what happened when you brought this to C2's attention? I've read through your prior posts, and I have to agree with the majority, there is an awful lot of sour grapes on your part. Why? Regarding your post, C2 did do something. ...

Slidewinder, I can only speak from my experience with ergs. Having owned both a Fluid Rower, and Concept 2...the Fluid rower broke. The manufacturer did not return emails or phone calls made by either me or the the dealer. So I lost either $1200 or $1500...it is too painful a memory to recollect! Th...

I'm looking forward to moving from Windows PC development to Android in the coming months, and I agree it's market driven. I think the more tools available, the better the results when exercising/training. Releasing an Android App fits perfectly for those that don't have a home machine, and use one ...

I have software that I am in the process of developing that does just that: row from point A to point B in a virtual environment. You can see a pre-alpha video of it at http://deltarower.com . I am currently looking for alpha testers...if anyone is interested, please drop me a line tech@deltarower.c...

As a service to anyone googling the two types of rower, I feel an update to a 6 year old post is justified. The fluid rower broke 6 months after use. The manufacturer, First Degree Fitness, first needed pictures and a technician to look at the rower before considering fixing it. So while I waited fo...

Scott, I just sent you an email earlier today. I will by modifying a terrain engine I wrote to be a racing tool w/ multiplayer capabilities. However, I'd rather not make the same application that is already out there. I come from a running background, and other than my PB's, or other runners, someti...

Hi All, A few months back I did my research, tried the Concept 2 at a gym (and liked it), and tried the Fluid Rower s350 at a store, and liked it too. I eventually purchased the Fluid Rower s350, and here are my observations after using it for a month: The monitor shuts off after 10 seconds. If you ...

Hello, I am new to the forum, new to rowing. I've been an active runner for many years, but now want to switch to an exercise that is less jarring on the bones. I've used both the Fluid Rower (s350) and the C2. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions they would like to weigh in on which is the be...
