As a home user longevity and reliability are important factors. With the C2 i can purchase every single spare part for the rower, along with full schematics of the appliance. I can also log into the C2 forum if i have any technical issues and discuss with other users. I can’t do this with the Matrix or any other high end rower.
As a fat guy (for now), I was pleasantly surprised to hear considerations about how belly size can impact the experience. I think it is frequently overlooked by fit people to whom it would never even occur. Nice review. (Already bought a concept 2 E a couple of weeks ago before seeing this review and I am loving the machine and the rowing workout)
Anyone have any feedback on the Life Core R100 if you can get it at half the price of the Concept 2?
Great review, Jim…I’m currently debating between Concept 2 & Water Rower…I’m 6’6″ and my gym has both…Concept 2 for the general workout area and Water Rower for classes….I’ve used both and like both…I am going back and forth on one I should buy for home use…can you sway me one way or the other?
They should check the bicycle handlebars and saddles from the ergonomic aspect. They also can use a padded bicycle short for the hard padded seats.
Does the Matrix maintain online performance data? I am motivated by peer group competition, so I am afraid that the Concept 2’s data (and erg competitions) are too valuable to give up. Otherwise, the Matrix might be better for me.
Concept 2 have addressed the cushy issue regarding the seat. I.e you can have a tractor seat, or they sell a cushion for the standard seat, I know, mine has just arrived today.
I was hoping you would talk about the aspects of more expensive vs. less.
After going through Amazon reviews, I found conflicting opinions on resistance.
some say it was too easy and they couldn’t get a good enough work out and others said it was fine. Maybe some are elderly and some are younger people. Since you have a more expensive professional unit maybe you could share your experience?
I’m sure this has been said, but the best rower is the one you use. I have a concept 2 and love it. They have the water rowers at my gym, if that ever opens again, and I’m not a fan. Not bad but not great.
The indoor rowing community use Concept 2’s. If you’re going to want to compete, then it’s going to have to be on a C2 and finally, indoor rowing is tough, very tough, so a sore arse (which incidentally the C2 has never given me) will be the least of your worries.
I mean Concept 2 has been doing it since the early 70’s. I like the C2-PM5 when rowing.
тоже купил в зоне спорта гребной тренажер. правда немного другую модель, но все очень понравилось.
Concept 2 is built like a tank.
I’ve owned one for 22 years and it still works like new.
Funny how all machines except R3 and Concept2 have much lower split times. I row a 1:54 2000 (I’m 60) and on the water rower I was at 1:41
Guess which machine my coach looks at?
Nice video! I been rowing since 17 so 12 years and i love it! I wanted to mention though that it may be worth mentioning the bodymax rowing machines, I used to have a concept but as time went on the resistance became less challenging I understand however that rowers use a resistance of level 4-6, however the bodymax r70i has 16 levels of magnetic/air resistance and the level 1 = a level 5 on a concept they have newer additions nowadays like the r100 and i would definately put it on par if not better then the concept and 300-400$ cheaper it just seems these rowing machines are being less noticed would be great to hear an opinion thanks��
Never seen a matrix rower in a British rowing club. On the other hand the concept is everywhere, every club has a long bank of machines as they are the preferred option for water towers.
Having recently purchased a rower, there is one additional consideration I’d add which is the monitor. I made the mistake of only looking at the information it displays without considering it’s ability to input workouts which require something more than simply counting down time, distance, etc. This makes it hard to participate with the follow along videos without the use of an app to keep tabs on each segment of the workout.
pretty stupid question lol whats better for weight loss? or is it the same
I have been using Matrix exclusively for the past year. Great review dude and I agree totally with assessment. Silent good seat bad handle design smooth cushy seat good computer.
If you replace the “Rowing Machine” in the video title with any product name, the same video still works.
Concept 2 mimics the feeling of rowing on the water as much as possible, the distance between your legs shorter for that reason. I apologize if there are any mistakes, I don’t know English so I wrote on google translator for that reason
I’ve used both and can’t stand rowing on the Matrix. When using the Matrix I really missed the woosh sound of the Concept2
Huge factor: the flesh. The people, customer service, owners,….the corporate culture. Matrix?: Taiwanese mega corp. Call for customer service > will get multi level auto select, possibly, with patience getting human being who has little knowledge of (for example) computer interactive procedure that was tested out on consumers/bleeding edge. Concept2: Call, or walk in the front door, you can talk to Customer Service people who have been there 9 years, 12 years. Ask to speak to one of the Dreissigacker, brothers (founders, owners, since 1976), and you can! While the other brother is not far up the road, continuing to operate a nonprofit that has supported and build many stellar coaches and athletes in rowing, nordic skiing, running and biking.
I’m much interested in the force-curve/feeling of rowing of this machine.
Everyone says concept 2 but Idk it never pushed me I know it’s based on effort but it just hasn’t worked for me but this morning I used a matrix rower with resistance knob and I loved it. So does that mean I should purchase rower with resistance?
Well done, like your other vids.
Of course, rowing studios are pretty much closed and the prices for machines has gone up.
I hadn’t realized this channel existed when I decided it was time to augment swimming with rowing and I found a UK based site that seems to do a good comparison between many models (maybe most/all the ones available in the UK). https://www.rowingmachine-guide.com/compare.html Each listing links to an individual review page.
Note the top of their comparison page says pretty much exactly what you list here.
I ended up ordering one of the FirstDegreeFitness adjustable resistance water rowers for dynamic resistance, adjustability, quietness, fits my space, availability, and, finally, price. Should have it tomorrow.
matrix rower seat looks like its made of sponge this over time will ware and bum sweat from other people will soak in to seat Grose the concept 2 seat its make of hard plastic and wont Soak bum sweat
The cult of Concept is almost as bad as the Crossfit cult. OLD design. And the patent is out. Lot of alternatives that are better and quieter. And have better features.
I rarely hear anybody say anything positive on the noise the concept 2 makes. For me it’s what makes it a perfect machine. Not only does it give the impression you’re putting in a lot of effort, but once you’re familiar with it, you can keep the same split time with your eyes closed so you can focus on every sensation in your body. Just thinking of the sound makes me want to workout!
My experience with each of them….The Concept 2 such comfortable and challenging rower…..wonderful feelings into 1 hour…… The Matrix the handles are too
thick and no ergonomic to me and make deep hurt and sleep my arms in just 5 minutes of training….useless(I tried it during 3 different days and it happpen the same again)
I have used the matrix at a gym in Norway when travelling, I hated it it felt really weird.
Had my C2 for nearly 20 years, takes minimal servicing and just built very well, in all that time only had to replace the PM as I broke it when moving a deadlift bar.
Poignant! Your words of wisdom can be applied to just about any purchases.
Link to buyers guide is not working, just takes you to the web store…
I’m trying to pay off debts, and can only afford to spend $500 for the Schwinn Crewmaster (or something similar). Do you think the Crewmaster is good enough to get started on while I work on saving up for a Concept2?
Matrix wins hands down but I’ll replace the handle with a Concept2 handle. I’m a bit shocked Matrix use such a stupid string attached handle. Can you also tell us all about the BodyCraft VR500 and the SpiritFitness CRW 800. I hear both of those have adjustable resistance we can change directly from the handle. Now isn’t that AWESOME! ✔��
Matrix looks good and indeed there are many machines out there but the Concept2 has stood the test of time and is still used by most top rowers.
I bought my own Concept2 twenty years ago and it is still going strong. A big initial investment but an absolute bargain considering the use it has had.
Great review though, always good to see other machines! Thanks for posting!
