Concept2 Forum

Thank you Mike

Hi, I’m at the NEC for a couple of days. No Concept2 in the hotel gym. Does anyone know of a gym nearby that has them and allows 1/2 day membership? Cheers!

Same, I’m not on Facebook so it’d be great to have them continue here

Hi, are the challenge, details, and updates going to be posted here in the future or has it all moved to Facebook? Thanks

Hello! I’ve joined (well, actually I joined a couple of months ago but I’ve only just discovered this thread, sorry). Hope that’s ok. I did some erging in my late 20s, then mainly running until last year when I bought a C2. Planning to do ctc every month. At the moment my only limiting factor is the...

Hello; please help with advice re: strength training. I’m aiming for a 16k/60 mins sometime this year.
