The StrengthErg is powered by Concept2’s signature flywheel technology, which can be varied in intensity depending on the combination of the damper setting and the amount of effort the user produces. The responsive nature of air resistance results in a variable load depending on the user’s strength. A lower damper setting, or less air resistance, produces a lighter feel when pressing or pulling. A higher damper setting, or more air resistance, produces a heavier feel when pressing or pulling.
Another advantage of responsive resistance is that as your strength varies from one point in a lift to another, the resistance reacts to match. In traditional lifting, you can only put on the bar as much weight as you can lift at the weakest point in the lift, which may not be enough to challenge your muscles in the stronger part of the lift.
The machine is adjustable into 3 different stations:
- Leg Press - Targets quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, calves

- Seated Row - Targets lats, rhomboids, trapezius, biceps
