ErgZone Challenge

ErgZone is an app designed for athletes using Concept2 indoor equipment such as the RowerErg, BikeErg, and SkiErg, as well as the RP3 rower. The app aims to streamline the workout experience by automating many of the manual configurations typically required on these machines.

There are various races and competitions hosted on the app to add a competitive element. You can find the latest ErgZone events, including the signature ErgZone Challenge, in the main Erg Races list.

Below are the main functionalities and features of ErgZone:

General Features

• Workout Automation: ErgZone simplifies the setup process by allowing users to connect directly to the PM5 monitor, eliminating the need to manually configure intervals, heart rate, and pace calculations. This lets athletes focus more on their workouts.
• Live Metrics: The app provides real-time data such as time, meters, pace, strokes per minute (spm), calories, watts, and heart rate percentage.
• Workout Library: Users can access a variety of workouts, including the daily Concept2 Workout of the Day, and can bookmark their favorites for easy access.
• Automatic Uploads: Results are automatically uploaded to the Concept2 LogBook.
• Heart Rate Monitoring: The app stores maximum and resting heart rates to provide live heart rate percentages during workouts.

Competition Features

ErgZone offers several features specifically designed to facilitate participation in virtual competitions and races:

• Virtual Competitions and Races: Users can join virtual competitions and races through the app. This feature allows athletes to compete with others in real-time, making it possible to participate in events from anywhere in the world.
• Live Rowing Sessions: Unlike traditional race modes where all participants start simultaneously, ErgZone allows users to join ongoing live rowing sessions. This feature is more social and less competitive, as it lets users join a session at any point and row alongside others while viewing their metrics.
• Competition Management: ErgZone provides tools for hosting and managing competitions, making it easier for organizers to set up events and track participants’ performance.

These features make ErgZone a versatile app for both individual training and competitive rowing, offering a comprehensive set of tools to enhance the indoor rowing experience.
