Have a lot of workout data but not sure what it means? Ask in the app. Chase a 2K benchmark, build your Zone 2 base, or get past a plateau. Each PM5 workout has targets based on your results.

QUESTIONS
BEFORE YOU START
What equipment do I need?
Use a Concept2 RowErg, SkiErg, or BikeErg with a PM5. Connect it to the mobile app to follow workouts and save your results.
What does Row Forge Intelligence do?
It uses your tests and recent workouts to build a plan across your training zones. It suggests what to do next, explains your workouts, and answers training questions.
Why not just use the free Concept2 Workout of the Day?
The free Workout of the Day tells you what you could do today. Row Forge tells you what you should train based on your own tests and targets.
Why not use ErgManiac?
ErgManiac offers workout logging, Concept2 Logbook sync, and AI rowing plans. Row Forge is a better fit if you want fitness tests to show which efforts need work, a plan built from your Viking Power Profile, and live PM5 targets as you train. The aim is cardio fitness for sport and life.
See the full comparison →
Why not use SplitCoach?
SplitCoach uses your Concept2 Logbook history to make plans and review workouts. Row Forge is a better fit if you want tests to set your training zones, a plan for those zones, and live targets on your PM5 workouts. Build fitness you can use beyond rowing.
See the full comparison →
How do the web portal and mobile app work together?
Connect to your PM5 and do workouts in the mobile app. Use the app or website to find workouts and see your progress.
How do subscriptions work?
Choose monthly or six-month billing. Your membership works in the app and on the website. You will see trial and renewal terms before you pay. Cancel through the company that bills you.
What if I cancel or ask for a refund?
If you get a 14-day web trial, cancel before it ends to avoid a charge. App store cancellation rules may differ. Row Forge does not offer refunds for web memberships. For App Store or Google Play purchases, refund requests are handled by the store under its refund policy.
Are there usage limits?
Use most Row Forge features as often as you like. Row Forge Intelligence chat allows 20 messages per day.
Who is Row Forge not for?
Row Forge is built around Concept2 ergs with a PM5 monitor. If you train on other equipment, want a coach to lead every session, or only need a place to record workouts, it may not be the right fit.
Do I need to be a competitive rower?
No. You can use Row Forge with a Concept2 RowErg, SkiErg, or BikeErg with a PM5. Start from your own baseline and train toward your own goal.
