Re: Concept 2 Model D or Fluid Rower E316

The popularity of the Concept 2 rowers is certainly linked to the widespread availability of support, parts, and information. The C2 forums & logbook sites offer great tracking of your performance, and valid comparison to what others are doing across the world. The ability to virtually rebuild a C2...

Re: Concept 2 Model D or Fluid Rower E316

Used a Fluid Rower at Virgin Active in Solihull, not really sure which model it was though, will take a look when I go tomorrow. I have used Concept 2 rowers since joining the gym but I have to say the Fluid Rower is surprisingly good. Wouldn't say that it is a lot better but it is definitely more ...

Re: Concept 2 Model D or Fluid Rower E316

I know this is an old thread (sorry). But did anyone watch big brother last night? They were all on fluid rowers, made me laugh.

Re: Concept 2 Model D or Fluid Rower E316

As I stated above the FR is a big unknown for me (an average consumer) on how well it works, reliability, resale value, etc. The C2 rower and the company well known and are a no brainer on all points, it works, it lasts, it resells, etc. It's design has been heavily studied. It is _the_standard in ...

Re: Concept 2 Model D or Fluid Rower E316

I have used Model D/E rowers in Cruise Ship fitness centers many times and have never had one move under me. These are on a hardwood floor. On cruises I have seen many rowers have the worst techinique possible trashing, the C2 doesn't move. The ship moves (rolls, pitches, yaws), which makes it inte...

Re: Concept 2 Model D or Fluid Rower E316

Thanks JRBJR, Maybe my technique isn't quite that of a professional rower, but then again, who's is? (apart from....of course, professional rowers!). So what about the rest of the world ie 99.9% of us, who just enjoy a good thrashing on the rower? Surely thats who C2 should be designing their rower...

Re: Concept 2 Model D or Fluid Rower E316

The dymamic is a radically different design, But when it comes to design why change something that works. Their customer service (both UK and USA - I've used both) is excellent, couldn't be better. Alternatively, you could learn to row properly without throwing your body weight around so much and y...

Re: Concept 2 Model D or Fluid Rower E316

That's a tough one. Go with one of the latest offerings from the premier indoor rower company with the best customer service and support in the world (who hosts this forum) or go with an equivalently-priced water-resistance entry from a company with absolutely no brand name recognition or reputatio...

Re: Water Rower brand

Personally, I'd go for the Fluid Rower as the resistance can be change without having to add water to the tank.
