Did you know that 80% of people will suffer from back pain at some point?


Between 8 – 25 pounds
of compressive force  is generated on every stroke during a given erg workout and that force is absorbed by the rower’s lower back, unlike when rowing on the water (read more).

Customer Satisfaction
"Having used my C2 erg on slides for over a year I thought lower back compression would be at a minimum, however, after installing the Shox-Box last week I have been AMAZED at the difference!

I highly recommend its use for anyone who even THINKS their lower back is at risk. The movement it provides (both in a vertical and horizontal correction) is a backsaver for certain :)"

Hate to Erg?  Backache after Erging?  Want to prevent back problems?

Let the Shox-Box
, a rear-suspension for the C2 erg,
absorb the impact instead of your body

Numerous studies have shown that the increased use of rowing machines  is a common source of back injuries in rowers.  One objective of the Shox-Box is to reduce the incidence of injuries, specifically to the back, and to help people with back pain resume their workouts.

The Shox-Box, which moves the indoor rowing machine vertically and laterally, gives you an improved, more comfortable feel like you're out on the water.  By allowing the back legs of erg to 'float', the Shox-Box minimizes spinal compression at the finish which helps to protect your back and to reduce back discomfort.

Check out the video below to see the Shox-Box in action.

* some customers have also experienced less stress on hips,
hip flexors, buttocks, shoulders, and necks with the Shox-Box.
