ErgZone

I started using ErgZone when the creators of a plan I was following switched to ErgZone. It is so much easier setting up your own intervals and you can use intended stroke rates and pace as well if you wish to. It uploads to the C2 logbook without having to push a button. You can use 3rd party workouts like the C2 WOD and their ranked workouts, the Cross Team Challenge, Rowalong’s free workouts. Many coaches are putting their plans on there as well. Give it a go!

Great Concept 2app. Brilliant mixture of workouts!

This app is so good when using my ergs! Results get logged straight away, I can create my own workouts, the concept2 work outs are available all the time to use, etc ! Just fantastic! Love it!!!

So far for a new app this is looking good. That said, even though Concept2 are happy to email me their workouts of the day, in the app you apparently need to be approved... I’m sure there is a good reason. Apart from that and based on my limited use so far the app looks impressive. A reasonably well set out dashboard with useful stats, verified upload to the C2 Logbook, plus the app makes it so easy to get a workout into the PM5 without endless button pushing. Workout completion could be more intuitive, a button or notification, as could upload to the logbook but the process worked flawlessly all the same.

I know Concept 2 is the standard training erg for rowing, but the WaterRower fit better in my tiny row house. Unfortunately, my trainers use ErgZone and it’s not compatible with my WaterRower, even with BlueTooth. Teammates love this app, I just wish it would work with my machine.

Although I think this is a fine app. I’m more interested in the Logbook and Rankings than the programmed workouts. I find getting to the logbook and moving through the rank data to compare times difficult due to a poor user interface. Much could be revisited for improvement.

This makes it so easy for me to hit my workouts without painstakingly entering intervals directly into the monitor. A feature that’s really needed though - I really need the app to make a noise at the end of intervals when it’s time to rest and again when it’s time to begin the next interval. I’m often selling my soul during a tough interval, so, I’m not staring at the clock and I’ve missed my rests before.

ErgZone is the best app that gives comprehensive understandable, reliable and customizable options to help you perform at your best. Not only on the indoor rowing for workouts, classes and private instruction, but for racing and community -- it just can't be beat. The developers are very responsive to feedback and are constantly making improvements to meet the need of the rowing community. The premium features are well worth the extra costs. Great for finding programs and supporting your fitness community! Can’t wait to try the new racing functions Thank you for developing this app! ❤️

I love this app, but what would really make me love it more is if it would beep at interval changes. Sometimes I’m working so hard I’m head down, eyes closed, so I’m not watching the timer.

This app is really good for creating and tracking my rowing sessions. The only improvement I’d like to see is when you create a new workout and hit the x to close, that you have a confirmation pop up letting you know you would lose unsaved changes. This happens a lot where I set a long distance, and when I add splits, the save button is far down and out of sight, so I click the x and lose it, then have to remake it. Also, if unique names for workouts could be required, that might be helpful. It’s probably very uncommon, but I was showing someone how to use the app and duplicated a workout I just finished, then accidentally deleted the wrong one bc they had the same name, etc.
