For a fully connected experience you'll need to be on a Concept2 RowErg with bluetooth availability. To purchase a Concept2 RowErg, check out the options via our shop.
What do the metrics mean?
If you are on a Concept2 compatible RowErg, you'll be able to see Strokes per minute (SPM), Kcal and reps.
SPM- Strokes per minute - This is exactly what it says on the tin. This is the pace you are moving at
Kcal- How many calories you are burning on the machine
Reps- Dumbbells are included in some of our Row workouts, this metric is counting reps taken per set/overall.
As an extra measure of effort level, we recommend setting your Concept2 RowErg screen to display your 500m pace. The lower this number, the harder you are working.
Row workouts can be taken on alternative brands of bike without in app stat tracking.
Connecting the RowErg
Firstly ensure the RowErg has Bluetooth capability, and you are wearing your Fiit tracker/HR tracking device.

Row settings
On a rower you'll find a control lever called the dampner. To mimic rowing in water, we suggest setting this to level 6 or below. The higher the dampner setting, the more resistance on the machine.
You'll also need to adjust the foot setting to ensure the the strap crosses over the ball of your foot.
