Hi Michelle! I purchased mine from Amazon, although Rogue is a bit cheaper. I think I paid around 940.00 with shipping. Have you checked your Craigs
List? Sometimes you can find them for less. Also, if you are on the east coast, there is a Concept 2 race (Crash-b)every year in Boston and they sell the rowers afterwards. I think its at the beginning of the year.

I love my rower, it is an excellent total body, low impact workout. You are into crossfit, right? I don't think you can go wrong with buying a rower for your home!

Thanks Jenn & NoraKate!

Rogue is $850 + $40 shipping, so a pretty good deal, considering. I've been stalking Craig's list for a while, but nothing with a great price that makes the drive to pick-up worth it.

Hmmmm - Jenn, do you know how much they usually sell the rowers for after the Crash-B? I'm in Boston so that would be very convenient, but I don't know that I want to wait that long!!!!

And yeah, I'm a total CrossFit zealot these days so it would be a GREAT buy for me. I am hoping to bang out some rowing after work a few times per week (I go to CF early in the AM).

The Google knows everything.... they sell them for $765, last year the event was in February. I'll get enough use out of it that I'll just go with Rogue and get it NOW!!!!

I fell today and twisted my elbow. I hope it is not messed up too badly. I plan to participate as long as it gets better soon.
