Know exactly what to row today. Row Forge Intelligence turns your erg's numbers into your next step. Forge a stronger engine.
FORGE A STRONGER ENGINE.
Your Concept2 erg gives you numbers. Row Forge turns them into a personal training system: know where you stand, train with purpose, and see the progress.
Connect your PM5 over Bluetooth and every session is captured as you row. Then Row Forge does what a spreadsheet never could. It tells you what the numbers mean and what to do next.

Train with purpose. Perform with confidence.
The app is good and I enjoy that it will give me a challenge along with my other workout routine to cut weight and shed body fat. The only issue that I would like added to the app is an offline capability where it knows your profile but if you don’t have the chance to get WiFi or service then it will keep and save your workout and when you connect back it uploads to your profile. I also had an issue with 2 of my workouts when linked with the PM5 that it didn’t save my stats so I feel like it did it for nothing and don’t have the stats to progress, its unfortunate and a little demotivating. Other than these 2 problems its great just wish it could do a little more. I’m not in an area that gives the app what it needs to be successful.
Meters missing in Strava
BaggeC
Once the workouts sync all the way through to Strava a few meters are missing. I haven’t seen the same behavior using ErgData. Curiously the workouts appear correct in the concept2 log. All 3 5k done through this app have a few meters missing in Strava. I will test this more and if I am wrong update my review. Otherwise the concept is cool, I love anything Viking
Incredibly helpful and challenging

I have been using Row Forge for the last month or so and I have to say, the results have been outstanding! After testing all of the areas from 100m to “The Hour of Power” you can see the specific area needed to improve specific distances or timed rows. You use a few of the many varieties of workouts to focus on that specific area and then after 4-6 weeks working on that area, retest and see your progress.The conditioning plan helps get new rowers familiar with form and technique over a 6 week period, rowing 5,000m 4 times a week to gradually work towards overall fitness and health.If you’re looking for HIIT training there are those as well.The program is completely unique to you, based on your personal profile. It’s incredible and challenges you every workout to improve.Definitely recommend this app to rowers of all caliber!!
Developer Response
Thank you very much for the positive thorough review! We greatly appreciate it! We will continue to improve the Row Forge app and strive to make it even better.
The best rowing app ever
AmyHD
If you are an indoor rower or even use one regularly, you will love how cool this app is. It’s so worth it. The workouts are super tailored to YOU and your level, not at all a one size fits all. And soooo many workouts. I love how after doing all my tests it tells me what to focus on and beating my last scores on the workouts is super motivating!! If you’re a gamer like my husband you’ll love the badges too!
