Good point. I think creating a solution that ties into existing rowers like the C2 isn't out of the question in the future.
I'd be interested in this. I picked up a C2 last year, and have no need (or desire) to replace it. But supplementing it with something I can use on an iPad would be great.
How do you deal with the seat problem? Anything over 30 min is a pain in the a$$.
Can you use help in Europe? Maybe as a distributor or somebody that looks for events to sponsor? Would love to help.
I've always heard you can hurt yourself badly if your form isn't perfect, esp your back. True? If so, how do you help people maintain good form and not screw up their back?
Like with any workout injuries are always a possibility. We do our best to mitigate this with instructional videos for novice users and automated feedback (for example when the user is going too fast). That being said, stationary rowing machines, found in gyms or homes are not generally associated with a high risk for injuries.

A huge part of our experience is the electronically controlled resistance that adds up to 100+ lbs of force. Our high-intensity games and strength content, which differentiates us, requires this and the reason why we opted to build our own rower instead of just an app or working with any existing machines.
I can see why the ECR piece is a handy input for the games, but having tried every connected rowing app under the sun, I think what is missing in this space is compelling content and compelling software on the same platform. As a fellow tech guy/non-rower who just wants to stay in shape, it's hard for me to see how success here hinges on ECR rather than the software and content. But I also understand you've already m…
Hi, I have a concept 2 at Home, I use it a lot to stay in shape for my other sports, mountain biking and windsurfing. I love the concept 2, but I love your product more. Can you use help in Europe? Maybe as a distributor or somebody that looks for events to sponsor? Would love to help.
I have health issues and I try to correlate cause and effect. I use a rower several times a day, it sits next to my desk. One thing I would love is an API that enables download of key stats like watts, times, etc. I value raw data over slick apps. I have my own data sources for heart rate, glucose and a few other things. It would be great to integrate this into my home brew system. Dexcom has a decent API for instanc…
I agree. One of the biggest challenges we have is integrating to other apps and products. Even getting the Apple or Garmin watch to integrate is difficult because of their limited/closed ecosystem.
The programs Aviron offers look cool, but I would never trade out a working rower for a new one just for the workout programs. Families like mine are probably part your target market, but I suspect our current rower will last 10+ years. If you could connect to existing rowing machines and have the programs display on a laptop or tablet, we would definitely give it a serious look!
We have a Water Rower. They have a Bluetooth module you can install to get data to other devices (phone, etc).

The latest Garmin wearable devices support the ANT+ FE-C profile so if you implement that then it should just work. There's no need to specifically integrate with their closed ecosystem.
