Super happy you did this review. I've been scoping this thing out for months for the exact same reasons you said: space savings and unavailability of the concept 2 stuff. Really glad you put this out bc i was close to pulling the trigger but I think I'll wait for the C2 stuff to come back. Thanks for always being so unbiased and honest.

Was hoping for this. Answered all my questions and more. Thank you!

I love this concept because I don't have room in my home for two separate machines. I would Love it if Concept2 had their own version of this! I'd buy it in a second!

Good review. Answered every question I had about this machine. Thanks for the video. I already have the skierg and rower from C2. Looks like I made the right choice!

One year after you wrote this, how do you like both C2 pieces? I'm a cyclist & already have a Wahoo Kickr for indoor/Winter training. Do you prefer one machine over the other, and if so, why? I think I would pick up the rower first & maybe add a skierg later?

@@JosephDowski so it depends on your preference. I too chose the rower first and I believe it’s the right choice for me. The skierg is intense. I love it for intervals. I love the rower for endurance training and longer pieces. I also have purchased a c2 bike which I love. But in order for me. I purchased them in this order, rower, rogue echo bike, skierg, bikerg. And I would do it again in that order.

Your reviews have prevented a log if headaches, thanks

I really wouldn't get this. Magnetic resistance rowers aren't good. You can break through it is you're strong. Electromagnetics are okay though. Also the more things a machine can do, the more ways it can break. Just get a concept 2

Great review Coop! I’d love to hear your discussion comparing a few decent functional trainer setups for home gyms

I love my Concept 2 rower. Cool idea combining the two, but I’m gonna pick up the Concept 2 ski erg. I know the product and I’m comfortable with the brand. Thanks for the info. Nice review.

Ive been waiting for months for the ski erg and i'll continue to wait!

I think it’s important to point out that the Concept 2 is a true ergometer that accurately measures power by monitoring deceleration of the flywheel. It will automatically adjust for any difference in conditions such as altitude, dust collected on the fan, etc. This is why they can be used in competitions. This ski row thingamajig can’t even pretend to do the same.

I don’t think they have told us enough to understand the measurement integrity of this new product. If calibrated it should be able to match the Concept2. I don’t remember the name now, but we used to have a couple of ergs with sliding feet when I towed crew…the Concept2 was the cheaper product which we could have 20 guys using at once. I would definitely consider using a Ski Row as a space saving device…the maintenance is the consideration I would give most thought to.

You could have used half the amount of words, but your conclusion makes sense. Thx for that!

Concept two makes the best stuff,bike rower and erg. I’ve used there rower for about 20 years. Add some kettle bells and I stay very fit. I enjoy your channel thanks.

As soon as you said magnetic...thanks for honest review!!

Hey Coop..LOVE your reviews…in the ski/stand up mode, how far from the wall must this be? thanks!

Great review. Means me clarify that I can buy both concept 2. Thanks

Best video thumbnail.

Can you review the texas starting strength, all-american bar and the rogue ohio power e coat or have any thoughts? I was wanting to get one bar for my garage gym and can't but all three. I was mainly needing it for squat, deadlift, overhead press and bench. I have a rep bearing gladiator bar for the power clean and hang clean, etc.

That intro tho🔥🔥🔥

This was a great review. I was wondering about this. Also... why didn't they put the resistance wheel sideways?!? they could save a TON of space back there!

I know back in day he did a review of the Xebex rower but hasn't done one of the new models in years, I'm about to order the 3.0 Xebex rower since the concept 2 won't be in stock for long time just wish there was more reviews of the Xebex 3.0 rower

Reminds me of whipr on Kickstarter but I'm too chicken to order because I think I've gotten like 1/5 things from kick starter

Hey Coop..when you used the Skier version of this machine, it shook a lot..did it seem unstable, dangerous or not as good a workout as the SkiERG unit? Thoughts? Thanks!

If it's the same price, I'd rather stick with Concept 2. I've had an original Model D for quite some time and they're just so easy and cheap to service.

Looks great. Now if I could only win the lotto to have a garage gym.

@Ryan-da-Beast nice. I went a the RM 4 and some boneyard bars but similar setup. Rep makes the best benches. I'm a Rogue fanboy but their benches miss on the value equation big time. Building a home setup was the best idea ever. Hitting bigger numbers than most 40 year olds. 548kg total is more than respectable.

Good review can you do a review on the prx profile hyper HD

I think if the 2 in 1 was ~$1,200 I might consider it, but I think I'm just gonna get a rower and some heavy clubs to do swipes with, which is more or less the same feel as the Ski-erg in my mind.

Good idea, but the price kills it. For me, even if it was $1,000, I'd still go with Concept 2. I own a C2 rower and have zero complaints. Once they become available again, I'm getting a BikeErg. I'll probably add a SkiErg to the mix at some point.

BikeErg is inferior to a mid tier smart trainer. And the BikeErg is a space hog.

ill stick to the time and time tested and proven concept2 equipment. thanks for an honest review

The Concept 2 target game would be the deciding factor for me in all honesty. I really enjoy that as a workout and it does a good job at keeping me focused. That machine is more thoughtfully designed than the concept 2 which is pure functionality.

If I could get one of these for $900, would you recommend it? Thank you very much for your advice.

Coop! what Model is the Black Rack? Cage by the front door

Concept 2 all the way, the software and quality are unequalled. That ski-row looks like it might make it 50,000 meters and collapse.

Will you, or have you done a review on different ski ergs?

Hey there! Random question but I have adjustable dumbbells that load Olympic plates and my problem is that the handle is too thin and the grip isn’t great. Any advice to fix this problem? I know there’s fat grips but those are too thick

Concept 2 all day, everyday!

Cheapest I can find right now is SkiErg at $1300 (with stand) and model D tower at $1200. So $2500 plus shipping plus 8 week wait time versus $1700 and in stock seems like it makes them pretty much even.

Energy fit doing the rounds on review channels. They rich.

Wow, I literally had this thing in my cart contemplating hard. After I saw it shake in your video, I thought they should quickly get a version 2 that's more steady. I'll just get the ski erg instead. You rock coop💪🏼

I may still never row on water after using the C2 rower since 1998 with over 22 million meters logged...but am I ever glad I used the machine. Same goes for the C2 Skierg...why wouldn’t one want to task themselves to emulate the fittest athletes in the world...rowers and X-C skiers?

Been waiting on this review. The concept (pun intended) is good, but not at that price. If it was under a grand, it would be a good deal as you are getting two machines for the price of one. This price is a definite deal breaker, particularly on a new brand.

Update on reliability and any issues so far? Thanks

you can get both concept 2 units for less then the energyfit. so if u are not very tight on space, go for both

can you please review the J squat from Sorinex please

Hey Coop. Love the channel. Also, your thumbnail makes it look like you're having a good time riding yourself. Just sayin' bait.

At a quick glance online it looks like you can get one of these for $1700 - $2000 depending on where you buy. Could get a C2 rower and ski erg for about the same so if space isn't an issue go with concept2. Also their customer service is top notch at least in my experience.

If this Ski-Row was a Concept 2 Ski-Row Erg, I would buy it

That’s because you are in a large space, therefore, it will look like it’s not taking up to much space. But, in reality two machines in garage will take up more space and many people will not put them to gather as you did in the video.

Just got the Concept 2 model D, now I want their bike and Skierg. I just love the quality and durability of their gear. not really a fan of how much this combo unit rocks around when using as a skierg -looks like it’ll bop you on the noggin if you pull it too hard ;P

how loud is it compared to the C2?

the comparison on the space occupied being almost the same is neither accurate nor fair since putting both the concept 2 and the skierg together in the way you did, you put the concept 2 in a position that is not actually usable so it makes the "argument" bias and inaccurate. For the rest, it is the most complete review i've seen so far, very informative.

Concept 2 needs to do there own version of this

Do other rowers, water rowers, magnetic ect.

The future is versatile

Shut the front door. Send me two please. And can you do a review on best underwear to workout in? Also is it better to drink whey protein while hanging upside down so you digest the proteins slower which may build bigger muscles? Live your videos keep them coming.

Looks like a Texas cop!

Called it

Can't see also getting a SkiErg for that price. It's possible to do triceps and other exercises on a rower, and also just use standard weights.

Er, smart move putting the price at the end... because who’d pay the same for an unknown that looks wobbly AF as a ski-erg!

Coop - a video idea - I know that dropping an empty barbell is pretty much the worst thing you can do. But on a practical level I never have understood what is different about dropping an empty one versus a loaded one in terms of the damage that is being done? Could you do a test to demonstrate the reality?

The biker from the Village People called and wants his mustache back.

I think I will keep swinging kettlebells. Doing some yoga. Going for long walks. Save lots of money and headaches. I never have to worry about my kettle bell breaking.

I know it's not as commercial-grade as the equipment usually featured on GGR and definitely more ugly, but there's a 3-in-1 that includes a rower and ski erg on Kickstarter called Whipr, in an even more compact form for home gyms or travel. It's not even out yet but will definitely be less durable. Just hope they fulfil their orders and not a dud.

Garage Gym Reviews Would love to see a review on that. Please help to give them feedback to add a black color option! It feels as though they’re positioning it as a training tool for water sports, but that market must be so niche compared to the mass market fitness enthusiasts, crossfitters, home gym owners etc that’d actually buy one.

Separating out the specific parts and tools for each of the seven step assembly process steps was brilliant on the part of the manufacturer. For the price, I am impressed at how sturdy this kzread.infoUgkxvObaTzoHoHQLL4lHbJQmExHqsrZQm-f7 unit is and it does go together easily. Well, I was puzzled at first at Step 5 and maybe the instructions should mention that rail #62 needs to be tilted upwards a little to get the rail to fit into the main part #44. I like it that the rower can be stored vertically in a really small amount of space, but be forewarned that this rower is top heavy and for safety you'll need at least two bungee cords to keep the unit upright, attaching them to something; in my case to a third garage door. I have had this unit only a short time, and I will post an update once I've had it for a year. As for working your legs, I have to admit that I'm mainly rowing for upper body strength and I use other forms of exercise for leg strength (like walking fast, biking, or using a trampoline. But if you pull as far forward as possible, then you can give preference to your legs for the first 4 feet or so of travel. I also admit to not taking the two electronic connectors apart at Step 7. I simply inserted the two batteries while the other parts remained connected. By the way, there is plenty of resistance here, even in the lowest resistance settings. Kudos to Sunny Health & Fitness !

It needs a substantial price cut, in my opinion. Looks decent enough, but no way I'd buy it over Concept 2 when they're the same price

Nope and nope. Thank you Sir. Concept 2 wins

Looks cheap.

It’s actually commercial grade quality. The magnetic resistance is quirky/ difficult to engage and the monitor is supposedly highly inaccurate re: distance and calories burned. But if they work out these kinks then it will be a game changer. A local fitness dealer had a floor model in their showroom, which I tested before purchasing. I opted for the air only model. Is it Concept 2 quality? No. But it’s not far from it. I went ahead and purchased for my garage gym. Concept 2 doesn’t have any inventory. Unless you want to purchase used equipment from a price gouging third party with no warranty. I didn’t want to wait for the next production run as gym equipment prices are about to skyrocket. Coop and the CrossFit crowd are snobs when it comes to equipment. Granted, I’m a middle aged female but this machine is very sturdy and suits my needs.

concept 2 rower any day that ends in a Y. Nice concept for the combo unit but appeared to have way too much instability at the top of the ski movement. That machine was moving a lot. I see a lot of breakage.

Why is the row track so long it looks so funny

This is cool…. But also coop review….. it’s not gonna be cheap

IF it was 1k it would be an awesome deal

Nothing will be a Concept 2 killer as long as Crossfit uses it as their standard. A rower or skier could be hands down better in everyway, but if it can't break into Crossfit the Concept 2 will still have that large portion of the market.
