Knew the rower before I knew CrossFit. Great company both people and equipment. Such a great partnership.
Also I love that self propulsion lab shirt. ❤

[@BootcampPaul]

Been using the concept 2 rower for nearly 30years, started with the model B (very noisy 😂), always loved them

[@markhudson5718]

Love the Concept2 t-shirt ❤

[@BeauvanKoert]

I think that Concept 2 is more known for their rowers ('ergometers') within the rowing sport, and expanded their reach via the CrossFit community

[@marymercado4840]

Very cool, mat is always a great guy to hear from

[@CoachAgung1]

Cool to have a look inside of your relationship with c2 and what they’re all about!

[@casoliveira14]

Great camera angle 😏

[@RUHR0H]

Super unrelated to the Concept 2 stuff, but what brand are the jeans Mat is wearing?

[@_Oscar326]

HWPO.
Maybe consider different chairs for this room?
Manspreading by Jameson & Mat. 😳😯🫣

[@izaacgavin4903]

Bro what, they’re grown ass men sitting together in separate chairs lol who gives a fuck

[@RogueCylon]

It’s a weird sitting position for interviews. A higher table could fix as well.

[@crossbowhunter9118]

I love the bike erg Friend sold me his and I love it so much

[@lauradoughty5389]

I love these videos, but can someone please take care of the dead leaves on the plant to the left of the shot?

[@colmkelly4358]

How do I get involved in the hwpo lottery? I'd love a concept 2 machine.

[@RogueCylon]

Without Crossfit, Concept2 probably wouldn’t have been a thing in Hyrox, and many gyms.

[@alexgoldstein958]

There are many companies that have benefitted from CrossFit?

[@unatz05]

Can there be a collab with Tia and shane?...

[@teridzard1776]

Enjoyed listening to your thoughts.
Do you guys still need single use plastics for your drinks? Even in Europe we figured that there are alternatives by now.

[@Mr.F0xx]
