De zomer loopt op zijn einde, de dagen worden korter en je leden komen straks weer vaker binnen trainen. Slim als je nu al nadenkt over hoe je ze de hele winter betrokken houdt. Brock Sampson, roeicoach op Terschelling, liet vorig seizoen zien hoe dat kan, met een virtueel roei-evenement dat sloeproeiers, beginners en recreanten samenbracht in één competitie.

Ook vertelt hij welke kant-en-klare Concept2 Challenges je helpen om zoiets zelf op te zetten. Continue Reading ›
De rug is de meest geblesseerde lichaamsstreek in fitnessland. Spit, hernia's, slijtage of ‘gewone’ rugpijn van iets te zwaars tillen, je kent de verhalen. Veel sporters verdwijnen na een rugincident maandenlang van de mat, en sommigen komen niet meer terug. Dat is jammer, want sportscholen hebben apparatuur staan die het herstel kan ondersteunen, mits doordacht ingezet. In deze blog deelt Oscar Rijneveld, managing director van Concept2 Benelux, zijn visie op de rol van de RowErg en BikeErg bij rugklachten. Continue Reading ›

Up here in northern Vermont, we know we still have a couple months before it’s really spring—but we feel the same transition coming. We’ll ski until the snow is gone, but we’ll also start running and riding our bikes on good days—and we’ll jump on the RowErg, SkiErg or BikeErg when the weather is just nasty. What’s the best way to balance indoor and outdoor exercise so that you can take advantage of the weather? Continue Reading ›
