Concept2 SkiErg Nordic Ski Trainer with PM5 Console

The Concept2 SkiErg is a dedicated Nordic ski training machine that simulates the motion and resistance of cross-country skiing. It provides a full-body cardiovascular workout that primarily targets the upper body, core, and legs through a standing pulling motion. The machine is designed for users of all fitness levels, from elite athletes seeking sport-specific training to individuals looking for an effective low-impact exercise option that burns calories efficiently. The unit is built around a substantial 4.3 kg flywheel, engineered for a smooth and quiet operation that mimics the feel of gliding on snow. Resistance is easily adjusted via a spiral damper dial, allowing users to simulate everything from flat terrain to steep climbs. It comes equipped with the advanced PM5 performance monitor, which displays real-time data such as pace, distance, calories burned, and stroke rate. The console features ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart connectivity for wireless heart rate monitoring (sensor sold separately) and includes a USB port for data transfer to the Concept2 online logbook, where workouts can be tracked and challenges joined. The SkiErg is highly versatile in its setup. It is primarily designed as a wall-mounted unit, which includes the necessary hardware for installation on standard 16-inch wooden stud walls, making it an excellent space-saving option for home gyms. Alternatively, for portable use on any level floor, it can be paired with an optional anti-skid floor stand equipped with castors (sold separately). The machine features durable, sweat-resistant ergonomic handles that provide a secure, strapless grip to maintain proper technique and help prevent injury during intense sessions.
