Hi all, just turned 50 in early September so just joining this team now ahead of the Fall Challenge. After a VERY slow start to the year, I have a goal to hit 2m metres this season (mostly doing very aerobic HR-capped longer rows) so anything that keeps me motivated and getting me in the stirrups i...

I had them out to service my old model E a few weeks ago and they were fantastic to deal with via email and then when they arrived. Carried out the service professionaly, good to chat to and it's clear they do a lot of servicing! I would definitely have them out for another service. :D Happy to answ...

Cheers Mark, will do, great advice. I only set them up with my eyes but will definitely make sure they are in line with a straight line or something else. I use EXR so that's good but I'll also watch music videos or a film on the big screen! Depending how long I want to row for!! So far so good, fee...

I bought my Skierg 6 years ago and have hardly used it, think 25k in that six years! Three months ago something changed in my mindset and I wanted to add the skierg to my bike and rowerg workouts so I did, started off slowly but since then I have done 385km on it and absolutely love it. I've done a ...

Slides Update: Well the new rowerg and slides arrived first thing this morning, 3 days after ordering! After making room in my garage gym I started unpacking and assembling the rowerg. Took around 10/15 minutes, so easy to do (even for me!). The Rowerg feels so much smaller than the Model E I curren...

Update - New Rowerg ordered along with slides! I've been able to make it work and have the space to leave the slides down permanently if I want. I've also taken a level to the gym area of the garage and that's all good so happy to go. Just a case of learning how to row again now! Ordered this mornin...

Have you seen the video by Eric Murray? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMxHFU1BORw&t=195s I'm currently looking at whether or not to get slides or dynamic and I'm almost ready to bit the bullet and go dynamic. As you and others have said on another thread the slides take up a lot of room! Sorry to ...

Thanks for all the replies and comments guys, really is appreciated and valuable information received. I popped into the garage/gym today for a 12k row at lunch and I thought I'd measure 11ft (that's the distance concept say you need for slides) and I really was shocked how much more floor space tha...

I had considered the dynamic C2 and even the RP3 but I've more or less ruled both of them out. Space is no issue and they will remain in place once bought. Thanks all. Out of curiosity, why did you rule out the dynamic c2 ? I'm periodically tempted to try one (but wouldn't know where I could do tha...

Thanks guys for the reply. I should have added in the initial post that my back niggles have not been caused by rowing - more like you've said outside forces and picking something up I shouldn't have!!! I was just hoping that slides will add a different way of training, a bit more fun and less strai...

Hi guys, as I'm getting a little older, like many I get the odd niggle in my lower back, I don't want to stop training as I enjoy it too much and my health is improving all the time thanks to the bike, erg and skierg! I'm considering buying some slides and wondered what people thought of them? I'm m...

Hi, mind if I join in? Have been rowing 3-4 times a week, but lost focus this year - hoping the Fall Team Challenge might be the motivation that I need... Phil Very welcome Phil, the more the merrier. I lost focus due to a long injury and then personal stuff so good to be back on the erg. Hope you ...

Hi everyone, just joined the team. Used to row on here a lot about 10 years ago until I had an Achilles injury. Trying to manage my weight at 59. Mixing up rowing, walking and Peloton to prevent injury. Keeping to 5ks mostly to see how I do. Welcome to the team Sparky. I'm on my 3rd month back rowi...

Hello there. Thought I’d get involved too. It’ll be my second time through BPP after three years off the rower (pre-Covid). My routines changed massively during and post-Covid and now we have a little one, my fitness isn’t what it was either! Definitely time to get back on track. I’m 37, 5 11 and a...
