Concept2 SkiErg Cross Country Ski Trainer

Overview

Experience a total-body workout that challenges your legs, core, and arms with the Concept2 SkiErg Cross Country Ski Trainer. Originally developed for professional Nordic skiers, the SkiErg has become a staple in the global fitness community for its ability to deliver high-intensity cardio with minimal impact on joints. By utilizing the same flywheel technology as the world-renowned Concept2 RowErg, this machine responds to every pull—the harder you work, the more resistance you create. Whether wall-mounted or used with a floor stand, it is a versatile, professional-grade tool designed to elevate your anaerobic power and aerobic capacity.

Features and Performance

• Advanced PM5 Performance Monitor: The self-calibrating PM5 monitor is the brain of the machine, providing accurate data for time, distance, pace, calories, and watts. It allows for wireless heart rate monitoring and syncs with the Concept2 Online Logbook for global rankings.

• Flywheel Resistance System: Control your intensity through air resistance. The flywheel puts you in total control of the drag, simulating the feel of real snow skiing while ensuring a smooth, continuous motion.

• Adaptable and Inclusive Design: Perfect for athletes of all levels, including those with lower-body injuries. The SkiErg allows users to train from a seated or kneeling position, making it a premier tool for adaptive fitness and wheelchair users.

• Industrial Durability: Constructed with a high-strength aluminum frame and synthetic drive cords, this machine is built to withstand the rigors of high-traffic commercial gyms and dedicated home training spaces alike.

• Flexible Installation Options: Choose between a space-saving wall-mounted setup or a mobile configuration with the optional floor stand and caster wheels (sold separately).

• Connected Ecosystem: Use the ErgData app to participate in the Real Time Loop, join motivational challenges, and access the “Workout of the Day” to stay engaged with a global community of users.

Why You Should Buy It

The Concept2 SkiErg Cross Country Ski Trainer is a strategic investment for those seeking a low-impact, high-intensity alternative to traditional cardio. Unlike machines that only focus on the lower body, the SkiErg engages the entire posterior chain and core in every stroke. Its “set it and forget it” low-maintenance design ensures that your focus remains on your performance, not on upkeep. Backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty, the SkiErg is the gold standard for indoor ski simulation, offering a rugged, effective, and sophisticated way to transform your physical conditioning.

FAQ this product

Q: Do I need a power outlet to operate the SkiErg?
A: No. While the PM5 monitor takes two D cell batteries, it actually draws power from the spinning flywheel during your workout to significantly extend battery life.

Q: Can I use this for a lower-body workout?
A: Absolutely. While the arms initiate the pull, proper SkiErg technique involves a “crunch” and a leg drive that engages the glutes, hamstrings, and quads, making it a true full-body trainer.

Q: What is the difference between wall-mounting and using the floor stand?
A: Wall-mounting provides the smallest footprint and is permanent. The floor stand (sold separately) allows you to move the unit easily using caster wheels, perfect for multi-use gym spaces.
