Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

This is my first experience with rowing and I am loving it! Great total body workout, easy to use, very effective for toning, cardio, muscle strength, endurance and overall health. Very study, substancial machine. I did a great amount of research and I am extremely pleased with the Concept 2. The machine is smooth, study and relatively quiet, really just a strong "air sound". I don't find the seat uncomfortable, however I generally workout in 1 hour sessions and the seat becomes a little noticeable for that duration of time. Perhaps a seat pad isn't such a bad idea. Gloves also provide added comfort if rowing for a long time. Truly you will not be disappointed with any aspect of this machine. I am 4'11" and weigh 100 lbs and I have no difficulty with the dynamics of the size of the machine.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

Im verry skeptical when it come to machines and fitness but this machine has made an optimist out of me. I run up a mountain 4 times a week. I run 4 to 6 hours on a tredmill with almost no trouble, but one hour on the concept 2 rowing machine and I am completely cooked. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because its bulky. but ive found if your going to get a machine its best to get one with some meat on its bones. anyone wanting to get into awsome shape this is for you.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I have used my Concept 2 Model A rowing machine 1 to 7 times a week, depending on age and outside demands, since I purchased it in 1980. Lately I have been using it a few times a week - mainly for interval workouts. By comparison, my new Model D is a dream; and I anticipate using it more frequently.

Service & Delivery comments:

They communicated well with me regarding the purchase/shipping process for my rowing machine. It was delivered reasonably fast and in good condition. The machine works as anticipated. I am pleased with the overall process.

There is no other rower on the market that can match the performance of the Concept 2. There are cheaper models but in the end you'll always wish you had invested the extra money for a Concept 2.

I find the rowing machine quiet enough to use while watching a movie or video which keeps me motivated to continue. I enjoy the option of the fish game for variety. I am not using the equipment to its fullest as of yet, but hope to continue learning about the many options. Although the equipment is fairly large, it does fold to store upright in a corner.

I bought this rower because I really liked rowing in the past. Not competitively, you just seemed to work up a sweat quickly. After scanning the internet it seemed like Concept 2 was the best product around. I love it. I'm not sure compared to other rowers how "quiet" it is. I humms pretty loudly but that doesn't bother me. Also I've read complaints about the seat bothering some people - again, no problem here. Love it!!!

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I have been rowing for over two years now. This is my second rowing machine and it is amazing. Concept 2 is a fabulous company and their machine is worth the cost. Not only do they build a great rower, they support it with an amazing online community and options. You can upload your workout information to an online logbook and then rank that with other rowers from around the globe. They have monthly challenges and rewards for completing them. The rowing machine itself is very quiet while in operation. You can adjust the amount of resistance with a dampener on the side of the fly wheel which simulates drag on a boat. The monitor is amazing and gives you all the information that you need to track your progress.
The only con that I would give this wonderful machine is its size. The machine takes up a lot of space. So if you are planning on placing it in a smaller room, make sure that it's sparsily furnished. It breaks down very easily however and stores in two pieces that really save on the space. The online community and options with the quality of the machine itself make this a must have over other machines in its price range. Go with the Concept 2 model D!

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

[...] no hassle assembly, was rowing in 20 min. the foot pedals can be a little hard to unstrap, I just slip off my shoes then remove them from the foot pedals. I wish the monitor was backlit, and for the price it should be. Other than that great rower, sturdy machine,relatively quite, I'm able to row in one room with the door closed, while my wife and kids are sleeping in another. It would also be nice if there was an audible alert for certain accomplishments like distances and times so the rower doesn't have to focus on the monitor, again which can be hard to see in certain lighting.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I bought this for my husband because his only fitness is weekend bike-riding and an occasional basketball game, but he was fretting about the limitations on those two sports. I use this rower in CrossFit and have discovered it is great for cardio, abs, legs, arms and back. My husband is 6'-6", 220 lbs so he needed something that was strong enough to allow him to work hard. The machine is GREAT and I highly recommend it!

The Concept2 is also great for anaerob training and interval training.

The box that the Concept2 was shipped in was damaged when it arrived. It looked worrying but the Rowing Machine was OK. A more solid box would have been nice.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

Great for upper body and upper and lower back. I really like how this rower feels compared to the others I tried. Very solid, strong and smooth. That makes it easier to do a longer workout. If I get bored, I try the fish game on the display which is fun and varies the workout intensity up and down. This is the same machine you'll find in a lot of clubs that use them all day long and they last forever. It's not as quiet as they advertise but not bad.

I am super lazy--- my husband, on the other hand, is a lifetime athlete. We both love our Concept 2 rowing machine. I feel great during and after rowing. I can feel my entire core being worked out. My husband was in great shape before getting the machine is now in excellent shape. He LOVES it. Our 11-year-old even enjoys using it. He earns tv/computer time by rowing.

Our wish is that there woud be a video of rowers on the Charles and various places so we can daydream about water. ;)

I like the convenience of this machine being at home. I would have to take 2-3 hours out of my day to exercise if I were to go to the gym. I can get on and row for 30 minutes every other day and get as much out of my workout as if I were at the gym. Being an ex fire fighter, I like to keep my stamina up and my weight down and this rowing machine is doing just that. Thanks for making this type of work out machine available to the everyday person.

I am a 60+ female, this machine was easy to assemble and great to use. I had one hip replaced last year and needed an exercise machine that was easy on my body.

I originally had picked a cheaper brand, but after reading an article in my newspaper about a couple who bought and used this one, I changed my order. I could not be happier.

This Rower seems to ease my pain and helps with my rounded tummy.
Thanks..great investment

Our shopping experience with Mercantila was excellent. The rowing machine arrived in perfect condition. We assembled it without any problems. We think we got a good price and deal on it. It's working great, does the job we bought it for.

We are very likely to shop from Mercantila in the future if there is anything else we need.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

Very nice machine - smooth. Flywheel really makes it a pleasure to row. Seat moves very nicely. Sturdy felling. I ordered with M4 monitor/wireless heart monitor and quite disappointed. Wireless heart rate monitor is a waste of money - very flaky. If you insert memory card in M4, on a next use, it will ask you to remove it or threatens to reformat it. Mechanically it is great, but don't waste your money on "advanced" monitor.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I've been coveting a rowing machine for a couple of years (after learning that rowing engages 80%+ of all major muscle groups). Knowing that both my husband and I are entering (ok, at!) the age when we need to be more conscious about joint wear and tear, we decided to take the plunge. After researching rowers, the Concept 2 was universally the most praised rower and understandably so. The rower was easy to assemble and provides a smooth workout that can be ratcheted up or down depending upon user. It's great for a quick 10-15 minute workout when time's tight and is helping me get in my much need cardio. While it's still a fairly new part of our fitness efforts, the Concept 2 definitely looks to be a keeper - for a lifetime.

The machine goes together very easily. The operation of the row is very smooth. It is a great work out. Very well built. Only con would be the seat is a bit hard. It is only slightly noisy, not in a bad way though. It is not so noisy that you can't talk to a person next to you. Otherwise, this is a super rowing machine.

This rower is as solid as it gets. Very smooth
for an air rower.
If you enjoy rowing, it's well worth the investment in your health, with proper diet of course. If you row frequently, have a "simple" cover made for it even though you might have yours indoors like I do. After a year or two, you'll know why.

This is a great machine. It is made very well, runs very smoothly and should last a very long time. It is worth the extra money compared to some of the lower priced rowers out there. The only drawback is it's length. You will need a room that has a good 8' to 9' to accomodate.

I had a heart problem, corrected with a stent about 3 months ago. I was introduced to this product at cardiac rehab at my hospital. Out of the 5 machines I was using at the hospital, the Concept II rowing machine was my favorite. I bought this product for my home gym and ungraded it with the heart monitoring option. It was very easy to set up and use. There is a lot of information accessible on the monitor, but, I love being able to monitor my heart rate as I work out. My heart rate is the most important piece of information to me. I turned 60 about a week ago and I will be using this machine for years to come!

My husband and I purchased this together and he works out several times a week besides using this machine.
I used to walk but have had knee surgery and now my other knee is also weak. So for exercise I am out of practice. I notice that in using this machine, I am gaining muscle and am toning after three weeks. The low impact on my knees is wonderful.
I use it for 5 min at a time and have gone as much as 20 minutes without pain or problems. I do 5 minute repetitions three times in a day.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

After the last couple of years, my husband and I were tired of walking in place on the treadmill. Due to long and hectic working hours, outdoor activity is also limited to one day a week, if we are lucky. On a recent business trip, a client suggested a rower, specifically the Concept 2. We received our rower a week ago and we absolutely love it. What a great workout! When I was asked what I like about the machine, my response was 'I get to exercise while sitting down, it doesn't get any better than that!'

Great value for the money!

As a personal trainer and a competitive triathlete I use the rower for cardio training, circuit training, and high intensity interval training for myself and clients. It's easy to use and it's a great warm up tool for upper and lower body. They only thing I don't like is taking it apart. It's not a cut and dry detachment, unless I'm doing something wrong, but the assembly is extremely easy.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I've used Concept 2 models for over a decade now at the boat house and in the gym. Now that I finally have room for my own rower there was no other model I was going to choose. The only slight complaint I have is that the picture is a little misleading. The model D is actually a much deeper blue than what I saw online. Not that it would have changed my mind about it, just something that needs updating on the site.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I chose the Concept 2 Rower for home use after using it at my gym. Even after a year or so of using an elliptical machine, I was challenged by the different workout on the rower. I can feel that I am making more progress with less jarring and bouncing. My husband has 2 herniated disks in his back, and although he has only used it a few times, we are seeing MUCH less impact from the rower which will lead to less pain.

We also called the company as soon as we set it up to ask a question about the monitor and received immediate and thorough customer service.

The machine is sturdy and high-quality. I would recommend it to anyone who is working on getting in shape!

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

We bought this knowing we could get a great cardio & overall body toning workout right at home! I was worried it would be noisy & clunky like the ones usually found in the gyms, but I was pleasantly surprised how quiet the fan is & how smoothly the seat & chain run. The range of tension is nice as I am just starting out rowing and my husband is a 'seasoned veteran' of rowing.
The monitor is easy to read & it's nice to have a choice of workouts. It is worth every cent & my husband & I both look forward to getting many great years of workouts from this machine!

Concept 2 has a great rowing machine. I have used them at the gym for the past 3 years.

I ordered the product on December 28th and received on January 8th. It did not arrive in good condition. The arm that holds the monitor was broken. Today is Feb 2nd and we have not received a replacement. We were told an order was placed on the 15th. We have not received a tracking number and are unclear whether they are replacing the part or the whole machine. At one time we were told UPS would be scheduled for a pick up. All e-mail communications have been very vague and have not been able to reach anyone by phone. I have used concept 2 rowers for 3 years at the gym and row with a masters rowing team. These are great machines but the service has been bad.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

The machine [...] were as described and reviewed. I have neck to arches problems plus arthritis and aging. I was at a low, with a lot of limitations on the kind of exercise I could do for conditioning, to gain flexibility and to lose weight. I want to continue to enjoy an active outdoor life. I credit this machine with possibly saving a knee operation or replacement - the knee feels GREAT now! My conditioning came quickly, posture improved almost immediately, lower back feels great, and flexibility and strength without pain were noticeable in a week. I keep the Concept 2 in my home office, and enjoy TV, internet and Ipod while rowing. My friend's child left Texas for an eastern education and starred on the rowing team; he came home for Christmas at 6'7" tall and immediately exclaimed on first moment's view "Wow, that's a Concept 2, the LATEST MODEL!" After his short clinic in technique, I was proud that I had selected the right brand rower. I've lost only a little weight, but I look slimmer with lost inches in the short time I've owned the machine. This is a very good machine, but if the next model machine controlls binge eating, I'll buy it.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

Since I am no longer 18 years old and able to eat an entire pizza without huge consequences...I was looking for a quick, steady workout to dovetail with my jogging. Hard to jog in the snow!

A friend in Knoxville suggested the Concept 2 rower. I have never rowed a day in my life but the more I read about this machine and the more my friend (who happens to be a medical doctor and a competitive rower) talked it up...The more I wanted to try one.

My wife and I purchased a rower and love it. Very easy to set-up. The videos explain exactly how to row correctly. The first time I tried our rower, I lasted 2000 M on some pretty easy settings. My legs felt like jello when I got off. I can jog 2.75 miles in 30 mins, btw. I can see myself using this machine for many, many years to come.

Very well built. Very quiet...I was surprized at that. The only down side would be the footprint. This is not a machine that tucks under a bed. All things considered...I am 100% satisfied and that excited as well.

Service was spot-on. Delivery was very inexpensive and timely.

Have only had the rower for 2 months and really enjoy the exercise it provides. Very smooth operation, sturdy build and easily assembled. I researched rowers for a while and decided on Concept 2 becuase I have used these rowers in the past at fitness clubs. Also,after reading other reviewes that pointed out it's manufactured in the UK where they have a long history of rowing experience and an overall better craftsmanship. All in all I am very pleased with this machine, I am using it on avergae 2-3 times per week and would use it more often if I had the time. Highly recommend this brand over others if looking to purchase a rower!

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

Due to foot and ankle problems, I haven't had many options for a good aerobic workout. This led me into a sedentary lifestyle, but being fat didn't make me as jolly as I'd hoped. I needed to do something about my physical condition. I decided to try a rower and now I'm glad I did.

After a week I'm doing 10 minutes at a time and I'm looking forward to increasing the length of my sessions. Breaking the 10 minute mark gave me a real sense of accomplishment. I'll be insufferable at 30. =)

I have a saying, "Buy nice or buy twice." Settling for lesser quality to save some money leads to dissatisfaction and eventually buying the quality I should have the first time. This is definitely a quality unit. One day, after I've passed on (many years from now) I can hear my kids saying, "Who gets Dad's rower?"

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

First bought the at1400 - garbage, never really worked.

Then got this and it works like a charm.

It is not like getting an ok/inexpensive rower or a good/more expensive machine. The difference is: getting one that doesn't work versus getting the mercedes of rowers.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

We purchased a Concept 2 rower 15 years ago. I am 65 years old and do about 30,000 meters a week, most at home, the remainder at the gym we attend. It has kept me fit, helped me recover from hip replacement surgery 8 years ago and a broken leg 3 years ago. I just wish that our gym would get some new ones, since the remaining two they have are in fairly poor shape.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I normally use running as primarty exercise and utilize a heart monitor. I can barely get above 145 beats per minute....but using the Concept 2, I am able to maintain a heart rate over 145 for an extended period of time. While running, it is only going all out or going uphill that I can get my heart rate up that high. So that is what I like about the Concept 2. My only complaint is the display monitor. I wish it was a little more user friendly and provided more options. Overall, great machine!

the only thing i wish was different is the heal holder on foot aspect was foam/gel padded as we do not wear shoes in home and i like to work out in bare feet or with socks. you should make a pad that can slide or velcro to the heal thus eliminating soreness on heal of those who exercise bare foot. what do you think?

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I was a lifelong swimmer, but after I became a dad, I found it hard to get out of the house and into a pool at 5 a.m. I bought a cheaper ergonomic rowing machine and used regularly for eight years, and liked it, but stopped feeling challenged by it a couple of years ago. The Concept 2 machine appealed to me because I could very and tailor workouts to keep me challenged. This machine kicks my butt three mornings a week, which is precisely why I bought it. The quiet operation and solid construction are just icing on the cake. The real value for me is the quality and variety of the workout.

I use my machine every other day, alternating with yoga. It is a great workout, convenient and effective. Even on days I am exhausted from work, there is my machine, and once I get on it I feel so much better. Even 30 minutes makes a difference. It's long, and takes up space, but is so well built and well designed I don't mind. It was also easy to put together. I highly recommend it for anyone. The intensity of the workout is up to you.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I purchased my concept 2 a year ago with the intent to use it every day. Unfortunately, I've used it fairly sporadically, but it's great for winter use when outside activities are limited.
Since I'm not in the shape I once was and I suffer from chronic pain, its more difficult than it used to be, but the rower is a great low-impact full body work out for those with joint issues, as well as athletes of any level.
It's very bulky and a pain to store, but does separate into 2 pieces. I have not used a more solid unit.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I have been using a high quality stationary bike for the past three years because I like low impact cardiovascular training. I did other exercises for the upper body, but was never really satisfied. I saw a rowing event on the Beijing olympics and thought that rowing would be the perfect total body low impact work out. After extensive internet research, I bought the C2 Model D.

I have had this machine now for about a month and am astonished with the results. I am upto one hour on the machine at a cadance of 24 strokes per minute. The monitor says I burn about 620 calories in that time. I am in fairly good cardiovascular health (resting heart rate of 50), and I feel like I have just had my tail kicked every time I get off this machine. I use it twice a week and look forward to every tail kicking. I still use the bike once a week.

With the exception of the chest and triceps just about every large mucle group is used extensively. The ab workout is incredible. If you spend an hour on the machine, its like you've just done a 1 hour abdominal crunch. The back strengthening helps to improve posture and has eliminated the neck and low back pains I used to have. (I used to weight lift to improve upper body strength but kept getting neck muscle spasms. The reason that doesn't happen with this machine is that it is building the right type of muscle fibers- Slow Twitch. For those interested muscle physiology- we have two types of muscle fibers- Slow Twitch and Fast Twitch. Fast twitch fibers put out bursts of energy as when we do an all out sprint. They put out great energy at first, but fatigue easily. The Slow twitch fibers maintain low levels of output, but don't fatigue easily. These are the muscles that are responsible for maintaining posture, etc throughout the day. This is the reason that male Olympic Gymnasts with huge back muscles say they live in constant back pain. Most of their training consists of bursts of powerful activity. They have large amounts of fast twitch muscles in the back that fatigue when trying to maintain posture all day.)

Anyway, back to the machine. It offers a fantastic work out at all levels. At stroke rates of 12 spm, I feel like I am not exercising. At 24 spm, I am getting a very good aerobic work out. At 35spm, I feel like I am power lifting. The resistance the machine puts out is limited only by your own strength.

I agree with one of the other comments- there is something very meditative about rowing. In the end, I haven't tried any other machines, but you can't go wrong with the C2.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I tried a Concept 2 rowing machine on a cruise, and knew then I wanted to add one to my exercise room. The ship actually had it in their exercise room, and it was getting alot of use. The Concept 2 Model D has been perfect. I don't move it or store it, so I can't comment on that, but it took me less than 30 minutes to put it together when it arrived. It is smooth, intensity fairly easy easy to adjust while using it, and actually relaxing dispite getting a good workout. Something about the rhythm of the rowing motion relieves all my stress. I alternate between my treadmill and the rower, but I'd rather be on the rower! My only negative comment is the seat becomes a little hard after about 30 minutes, but a folded towel takes care of that. I would buy it again without hesitation, and I recommend it without hesitation. Don't spend less for products that are not as sturdy and well made, and you certainly don't need to spend more for something "better". I can't imagine how there could be anything better.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

This is a great machine. I love using it. It's very sturdy and very smooth. I especially like the way I can set a mid level effort (e.g., #5) and still control the level of effort during my training period, from a full out high effort sprint to a more relaxed pace. I've been using the machine 3 to 4 times a week, alternating days with my weight training routine and find that I get an excellent aerobic workout, as well as the added benefit of stretching and strengthening my body as I perform the full rowing motion. I ordered the Concept as a replacement for my treadmill work out, as I injured my Achilles' tendon and needed a low impact aerobic replacement. The Concept 2 really filled the bill. I like the way I can get in to a rhythmic drive with the sound and the movement of the machine - it's almost meditative. By the way, this is NOT a noisy machine. I'm not sure why some of the retailers seem to promote the noise issue. As I indicated, the whoosh of the fan helps me to set the rhythm of my work out. I would recommend the Concept 2 to anyone. Finally, the PM3 monitor is awesome. I generally set it at the "just row" display with the "force curve" graph to help evaluate my stroke, distance per minute and stroke per minute.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I was a rower for four years in a Top 20 program. After graduating, I swore I'd never erg again. Now (5 years later) doing a few rowing pieces is one of the highlights of my day. Model D's are big improvements over their predecessors.

However, it takes a lot of coaching to learn how to use a rowing machine properly. I would NOT recommend this product for anyone who has not rowed in the past or for someone who is not looking to take up rowing seriously.

The new model is superior to the Concept 2 model C and I love the PM4 with the wireless heart rate monitor and racing capability, not to mention the storage card which is portable to other PM4s - to track your workouts. I did however forget how long these things are and it takes up almost the entire width of my workout/music room. Really easy to assemble or breakdown if need be.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I have been using the Concept 2 Model D for several weeks now. I use it to mix up my cardio workout (I normally use my elliptical trainer). I am very pleased with it. It is very well built, solid and sturdy. It comes in 2 pieces, the seat/track and the wheel/display. It is very easy to assemble or take apart...I am able to put the 2 pieces together in under 10 seconds. This makes it great for easy storage so it doesn't not take up much space. I get a great workout on this. It comes with a DVD explaining proper technique, etc.

The only issue I have it that the seat isn't all that comfortable. After 30 minutes it gets a bit uncomfortable.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I have a disabling back injury that prevents me from doing many of the aerobic exercises I love. I get great joy from movement, and I needed something I could use that would not exacerbate my back problem. This is it! The smooth movement and sturdy construction make the unit extremely stable, and I use a rubber cushion on the seat to minimize contact with my lower back. Works great! I also have multiple melanomas, so it's an exercise I can do inside. I do pilates work, and this unit follows through with my upper body work in pilates and leg strengthening. Even though I do pilates strengthing, my abs felt 'the good sore' the next day! Great outcome!

After my knees failed (age) and would not allow me to do any more running, not even on an elliptical cross trainer, this is now the only and best exercise I can do for cardio-vascular fitness without further damaging my knees. Actually, my knee pain got better with exercising on the rowing machine and I don't have to take pain killers. I wish I had discovered this a long time ago already. I am glad that such an excellent quality machine is so affordable.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I average working out on the rower 30 minutes every other day. I also do other exercises (walking, yoga, an elyptical machine, etc.,) so the rowing was to supplemental my other activities.

I have only had the Concept 2 setup about 6 weeks and I do not believe that is enough time to evaluate for a thorough review, which is why I am giving it a 4 1/2 star rating. I will tell you my experience to date.

I am 65 years old weigh about 220 lbs. and have hip and back issues. As with all older jocks, I have had the required injuries and illnesses over the years (broken left shoulder, broken left wrist, surgery on both knees, torn achilles heel, rotator cuff surgery, two crushed vertebrae, etc. etc.,) If my workouts get too aggressive, my back and hips act up and I am normally sidelined about a week for recovery. The rower allows me to continue exercising and does not hurt my hips or back. This has been a hugh improvement in my daily workouts, giving me consistency so I can do something every day. I have lost about 6 lbs in 6 weeks.

I am not excited about the weight loss progress, but when combined with the change in my overall appearance and increase in strength, I am excited. I have slimmed down and toned my body enough to notice. This is a subjective measure, but take my word for it.

I am more excited about my golf game. Those of you who play golf will understand what I am about to say and those who do not play will not have a clue what I am talking about. I have played golf for 40 years and at one time was a 7 handicapp. Due to career, travel, raising a family and all the other intereferences, I was only able to play about once per week and rarely praticed. But I played enough and was good enough to get to a 7 and I have all the shots. The problem started about 4-5 years ago when I started losing distance. Five years ago, I frequently drove the ball over 300 yards and average carry was about 250. For the past 2 years, my drive averaged about 190 yards carry and my handicapp went to a 17. I was basically playing for bogy because I could not reach most of the greens in regulation. In the past two months, I have not bought any new equipment, or taken any lessons, or praticed, or played any more than I have in the past, but the last 4 outings, I shot 87, 84, 83, 82 from the mens regular white tees on a difficult championship golf course. The difference is my drive is now carrying about 230 yards on average and my 7 iron distance went from about 135 to 150 yards. I feel like I am playing golf again and can tee it up with anyone, except the pros of course. Those of you who play golf will understand that this is a golfing miracle. The only change in my life the past two months is the Concept 2 rower. My hands, wrists, arms, shoulders and upper body have changed the most and I believe are as strong as they were 10 years ago.

I will continue working out on the Concept 2 and hopefully in another few months will be able to report three hundred yard tee shots and a 7 handicapp again.

I purchased the Concept II-D for my beautiful wife, this past Christmas. She really enjoys the machine, and not having to wade through the crowd at the gym. Another plus is that this machine is far superior to any rowing machine on the market, especially the inferior water rowers that have become a mainstay at our local gym. Don't be fooled by imitators or an inflated price tag. The Concept II is superior quality and craftsmanship. I'm happy I was able to give my wife the best product on the market.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I use the Concept 2 for a great non-impact workout for my entire body. I had been taught to row several years ago, but most gyms only have 1-2 rowers, some of questionable quality. This rower is top quality and the airwheel allows much more sense of how the rowing stroke is affected by speeding up or slowing down. I also have to use non-impact exercise, because I have a really bad back. This rower delivers it all: easy to get your target heartrate, Monitor is easy to read and manipulate to give you the information about your workout you need. I can really feel it in my abs, less in my upper body, but that's because I do Pilates and my upper body is strong. I can see the difference in tone all over. Stronger legs, biceps, triceps, rhomboids (central back), lats, abs. Really pay attention to the DVD about proper rowing technique.

This rower is all you need for a great workout that's both aerobic and strength-training.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

Okay just to let you know I am a researcher. I did my home work before buying a Concept 2. I just needed something to get back into shape that I could do at home. This rower is the best on the market. There are some less expensive and some that are more, don't be fooled by less expensive that say there just like the Concept (they are cheaper for a reason). This is the best all round work out you can get from a piece of equipment in your house. Yes it is big but if you are using the way you should you will never have it stored. Just spend the money and get the best.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I really like this machine. The only thing that I didn't like are the foot braces. One of the nice things I read about the machine is that you can get on the machine without shoes (I would like to use just socks), but the heel part of the foot brace digs into your heel as you are sliding forward bending at the knees, and literally rubs and pulls on your tendons attached to your heel. It's not just a simple stretching thing because this went on for weeks--you don't notice it when you're rowing (unless you are already sore in the heel from a previous day's workout), but for the next few days when I walked around, it was quite sore--no outward calluses or redness, just very painful, almost like a bad sprain. A simple modification of the design would include design of a heel cuff without a lip that your heel tends to sink into. Other than that, using shoes, the machine is an excellent, comfortable sturdy piece of equipment and I enjoy it very much. Also, on a side note, I used to think my sleeping was very uncomfortable on my current bed and would often wake up with a sore back, but as I see it, it was mainly because of a weak back. Rowing is good for back strengthening and I find myself less uncomfortable sleeping, so this may save you money on your mattress.

I use this machine to train for my very competitive crew team. The concept 2 is really great because it has kept me in great shape for my season. It's also great for just a general workout. There really isn't anything I don't like about this erg.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I bought this and added a paddle attachment to it . It is great for this use and targets the desired muscle groups . I was only paddling 3 times a week . I developed off and on some deltoid problems and switched over to rowing which did not bother my deltoid in the same way. I also only rowed 3 times a week . Using this machine only 3 times a week I slimmed down til my stomach was flat...this took only a matter of about 6 weeks . This machine works the back , both upper and lower , arms and legs as well as the core . You won't go wrong with this machine. It is also so comfortable and operates quietly.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

The Concept 2 is very easy to set up -- most of the assembly was already completed. It is also super easy to get up to speed & VERY easy to stick with. The only negative is that it takes up a lot of room & doesn't break down into small enough pcs to store easily. (It does come apart easily, but only into 2 large pcs.) Overall, though, it is a fantastic product & you will definitely get your moneys worth! I did a ton of research on the overall best equipment to buy, and everything I read pointed to the Concept 2, so I decided to give it a shot -- and I haven't regretted it!!

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

My wife and I were looking for an alternative to the exercise bike we have used forever. We purchased the rower rather than a treadmill or elliptical machine- and we are happy with the decision.
The rower is very challenging. We look forward to seeing our performances improve over time.
The online Concept 2 community will keep us motivated for a long time to come.

We love the machine, but do find it hard to connect once we have pulled it apart to store.
My husband usually has to do it for me, & with a mallet.
The machine is great to use and we both feel that we are getting a good workout. It's a good all around workout with the opportunity to advance.

I love being able to row/exercise at home while watching TV and getting my daily news fix. My husband likes it because I'm at home instead of out walking which I dislike anyway. I can row - rain or shine and noticed my upper body strength improved very quickly.

P.S. No one I know thinks this is a 'loud' rower.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

This is a durable, quality-made product. My first rowing machine; provides a good, low impact workout. I have two cons, though. First, after about 15 minutes, my butt really gets sore, and almost begins to fall asleep. Putting a towel on the seat helps some, but doesn't fully eliminate the problem. Second, rowing is extremely boring. Even with music, its hard to stay motivated. I thought I might prefer rowing to running, but if we had nice weather all year, I'd probably rather run.

Comments about Concept 2 Concept 2 Model D Rowing Machine - with FAST FedEx Shipping!:

I'm new to the rower, and I bought this modely solely on rave reviews from counltess sources. I'm pleased to add my voice to the masses. This thing gives you QUITE a workout, and since it's as hard as you make it, it's scalable to what you can handle. It works extremely well, the user interface is very easy to work, and the customer service through concept2's website is impeccable. They have all kinds of incentives to keep rowing, and a massive online community. I think everyone should get one!
