Concept 2 to hold global Ski Erg competition

Concept 2, synonymous around the globe with creating a very competitive indoor rowing machine, have also created an equally competitive Ski Erg used around the globe and is a favourite with Cross Fit exercisers everywhere.

Between 6 and 8 November, Concept 2 are holding the annual world ski sprints on the Ski Erg. This is a 1km sprint that is held in clubs, gyms, studios and schools everywhere with race results authenticated and posted online.

Last year over 1,200 fitness enthusiasts competed in the event aged between 5 and 85 in different age categories. The fastest male time posted was by an American and the fastest female by a Swede.

This year, locals in Malta will have the opportunity to compete and put Malta on the World Ski sprint map. Lakes fitness studios are holding a joint Open 1k ski erg sprint,

with age group categories in which all are welcome to take part and these results will be officially authenticated and posted in the world ski event.

Veteran Ken Lake, a fitness consultant and an avid racer in Concept 2 indoor rowing events, is the current world record holder for both the 60’s men’s 500 and 1k Ski Erg categories would like to see locals in as many diverse age categories have a go this year. Some training can be organised beforehand for those who have never tried the machine before.
