The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Concept2 was founded in 1976 by Dickson and Peter Dreissigacker. They built rowing machines. The Model D rower became the standard for serious athletes. It appears in Olympic training facilities and CrossFit boxes worldwide. Today the company ranks eighth in Health, Fitness & Wellness across 6649 tracked brands. Their machines define indoor rowing. A Concept2 ergometer is what competitive rowers use. The brand built its reputation on precision and durability. They still manufacture in Vermont. No shortcuts. No trends. Just machines that work.
