Heritage & History
Concept2 was founded in Morrisville, Vermont in 1976 by brothers Dick and Peter Dreissigacker, who were Olympic rowers frustrated by the lack of quality indoor rowing training equipment. Their solution was to engineer their own — the Concept2 Indoor Rower, a machine that simulated the mechanics of on-water rowing with enough fidelity to provide genuine training value. The design they created became the global standard for rowing ergometers, used in Olympic training facilities, elite rowing programs, and fitness centers worldwide.
The company's rise coincided with the growth of competitive CrossFit, which adopted the Concept2 erg as a standard piece of equipment in virtually every CrossFit box. This introduced the machine to millions of fitness athletes who had no background in rowing, expanding the market while maintaining the brand's elite performance reputation.
Made in Morrisville, Vermont
Concept2 assembles all rowing machines, SkiErgs, and BikeErgs at their Morrisville, Vermont facility. The Vermont operation handles manufacturing, customer service, and product development — keeping the entire enterprise under one roof in a small town in the Green Mountains. This concentration allows quality control across every machine that leaves the factory.
The Model D and Model E indoor rowers have been manufactured essentially unchanged for years because the design is already optimized for its purpose — reliability, accurate performance monitoring, and an effective rowing motion. The Performance Monitor that tracks stroke rate, pace, and calories burned is produced domestically and has become the data standard for competitive rowing, with online leaderboards allowing comparison across machines worldwide. When you buy a Concept2, you are buying the same machine that Olympic athletes train on — made in Vermont.
