Protect:  diverts harmful forces, at both the catch and the finish, away from your body like a boat does when you row, enabling you to train with less strain.  The Rear box minimizes spinal compression at the finish to reduce discomfort in the back, buttocks, hips and more. The Front box reduces shear, compressive, and tensile forces at the catch to reduce the impact on the knees, ankles, neck and shoulders. 

2. TECHNIQUE TRAINING
Perfect:  The on-water feel enhances the erg experience by causing the rower to focus on balance and core strength.  With this boat-like feel and focus on technique in the off-season, the Shox-Box system prepares the rower for a smoother transition from an erg back to a boat.

3. ENHANCED STRENGTH TRAINING                                                            Strengthen:  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 only to focus on hips/hip flexors, or use both boxes to get a better workout on your core and obliques.

4. ON-WATER FEEL
Comfort:  moves the ergometer vertically and laterally with the rear and front legs of the erg placed in the Shox-Box.
