Anyone go to a gym in the London area which is equipped with a Ski Erg?

Got these in work now
A cheaper version but distance is very similar to the C2 version
They have the c2 version on my outside gym
1 k ski
1 k run x8
Is a brill session. I’ve heard some people using them to help there swim?!
I’m not convinced but they said it worked for them

My DL has 2
I saw these a few months ago and my first thought was it would be a good swim ergo for cost compared to a Vasa. Especially as a few like TTowel have said they felt that using a row ergo helped their swim fitness. Sure swimming is better but you know…

we have a C2 rower so the ski erg would be a good complement as both give a good body workout focusing on different muscle groups.

These are a staple of CrossFit, probably my favourite machine.

I’m signed up to a Hyrox in January, they utilise the ski and row erg.

A bit spendy though. I bet they don’t let you share a PM5 between a ski and a row erg, to save a bit if you bought both?
Ski erg is first exercise ?
Row near the end…?!
Those wall balls are just silly.
Great competition that

Bought a c2 ski erg just ahead of first lockdown. Find it’s a great exercise for my dodgy back and helps with core/upper body as mainly just cycling now.
Gives a good bang for buck for shorter sessions.
You can use apps like PainSled or RowedBiker which will transmit a Bluetooth signal as if from a cycling pm so you can use the cycle training platforms like zwift/trainerroad etc.

I’ve done them 4 times
Last one was with the correct ball at the right height. No stops.
But at the end of all that some people were going them in 5”s !
The burpee jumps gave me such a bad back I had to stop, shame as I was progressing too.
5 mins per exercise/ run is 1:20 total sounds easy but that fatigue just builds and builds in the legs.

From this thread and Mr’s use of roller ski’s I went looking for one in the gym today (I never go on the machines) and used it for 5 mins after spinning. It was ace. Definitely using that agin. As @Wells says it’s a great workout for core and back.

I’ve a time of 23:39.1 for 6k on the SkiErg, never attempted at 10k TT.
The best time recorded on the C2 rankings last season for 10k was 33:19.9

I might have a go next week… i won’t be threatening those times ( by a long way) but it’s probably faster than I could run 10 k in this shape…

Half marathon
On the Skierg
C2 website has some pretty impressive times from people smashing it but o was happy to hold my own pace.
For the half marathon linked up with a mate, via zwift, and we both knocked out a Skierg half while linking to zwift. He was faster than me big kindly held on for a little while after he’d hit goal to get us both over the line. We used the pm5 on c2 as arbitrator of our distance and ignored zwift distances.
