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).

"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 :)" |

Take your Indoor Rowing to a whole NEW level
The Shox-Box, a suspension system for the C2 erg, allows you to focus
on your core and balance while absorbing the impact instead of your body
The Shox-Box system, consisting of a front and rear Shox-Box, moves the indoor rowing machine vertically and laterally. With this movement, the Shox-Box system gives you a 'real water' feel at the catch and finish while reducing the harsh forces on the back, knees, neck, shoulders and more.
On the water you row on a buoyant spring with a body motion that generates significant forces, which the boat and water naturally dissipate. Indoors you row on a rigid steel frame with that same body motion and your body absorbs those forces - UNTIL NOW - The Shox-Box suspension system diverts the harmful forces into the box and away from your body.

Technique workouts on an erg are unheard of, but now that the Shox-Box system provides the 'float of a boat' you have to maintain balance from the catch to release and back on every stroke. And the Shox-Box enhances your strength training by allowing you to vary your erg workouts. Use just the rear box to focus on your legs, use the front box to focus on hips/hip flexors, or use both boxes to get a better workout on your core and obliques.
