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).

"I think that it does replicate the feeling of a real rowing boat more than any other rowing systems on the market. From a physiologic stand point, the fact that the system adds in pitch and roll to the standard Concept II erg means that accessory muscles are recruited and trained in a similar fashion as to a real boat. This means that off water training will not only maintain aerobica capacity but also muscle mass and proprioception and make the transition back to the water much easier." Amy Abbot, MD

Shox-Box: Transforming the Indoor Rower
The Shox-Box, a shock absorbing training aid for the Concept2 erg,
transforms the erg into a complete technical workout with an
on-water feel that is gentler on the back and joints.
Consisting of a front and rear box, the Shox-Box system adds a side-to side motion (roll) to the erg which provides an enhanced training experience particularly for increasing core strength and balance awareness. Using the roll and
pitch feedback of the Shox-Box system, you can also focus on smoothing out
your stroke while identifying and addressing rowing problems such as
uneven foot pressure, rushing the slide, and dipping at the catch. By training the same
muscle groups on and off the water, the transition back to the water
becomes much easier after training routinely with the Shox-Box system.
The new and improved Shox-Box System now comes with VBC, Variable Balance Control, an adjustable balance feature to accommodate differing skill levels. The new Front Shox-Box includes two balance settings. With the springs set on the inboard position, the Erg becomes less stable thus providing a more challenging workout to better develop core muscles and balance skills on the Erg. Want even more of a challenge? Try our new Soft Spring Upgrade Kit in your Shox-Box system with VBC for a total of 4 balance settings. Even the most experienced rowers will find that the new VBC Front Shox-Box with the Soft Spring upgrade provides the ultimate challenge in perfecting balance and body motions on the Erg while experiencing an even more comfortable catch.
Additionally, the Shox-Box system moves the indoor rowing machine up-and-down (pitch) to absorb shock aimed at reducing the tightness and pressure on your back, buttocks, knees, neck, shoulders and more. Even with proper form, harsh downward forces (8 to 25 pounds per stroke) while erging are still placed on the body at the catch and the finish and these forces are offloaded by the Shox-Box. The effect is cumulative so that the more you row on an erg, the more benefit you will receive from the Shox-Box by avoiding the repetitive stresses to your body.
