Hotels with Concept 2 ergos
Stamps
Concept 2 ergs. Anyone remember where it was, no luck finding anything
via Google. You can sometimes find out via the hotel website by seeing
a photo of the gym, but usually not.
thanks

If you are traveling anywhere near San Francisco, email me. I'll see if we
can get you out on Richardson Bay. This time of year it is gorgeous.
Cordially,

reeeee !
Whenever I go away (doesn't happen much anymore) I always contact the
hotel to ask if there fitness centre has ergs. I have very seldom had
an answer and never a useful one.
I've been lucky in Edinburgh, Istanbul and Geneva. The latter should
have been wonderful - erging in front of a picture window overlooking
the touchdown point on the airport runway. Downside was that the
machine was the worst-maintained I've ever sat upon.

How do you search location within U.K.?
On a dropdown list there's Uganda and Uruguay but no U.K; there's Saint
Lucia but not Scotland...

has an official distributor - which the UK does: http://www.concept2.co.uk/
However that site, excellent though it is, does not appear to list
hotels with machines.
We were rowing in the Lake District a couple of weeks ago, and stayed
at the Whitewater Hotel near Newby Bridge, which has 2 ergos and a
quite respectable gym, pool and sauna.

Yes, shame that some countries aren't there and no equivalent search
tool on the relevant official distributor sites. Given how much our
members travel around Asia I think we'll start a list. What will also
be useful is an effective date and 'ergo condition' comment...

Gah, I actually need it for India, and not on the rower finder and no
official distributor. Anyone know whether this hotel has an ergo:

I don't know that hotel but I stayed at the Grand Hyatt Mumbai and
that had a C2 in quite a good and large gym.

Click on 'Virtual Tour', then when the new window appears, 'Spa &
Wellness' in the menu at the top, and select 'Health Club' on the
left. You can look around their gym. I couldn't see any ergos (though
some of it was hidden by a pillar) but they have the usual bikes,
treadmills, ellipticals and assorted weights stations.
Very swanky! Company expense, I hope?

I think it is worrying that ergoing has become so addictive that
people are trying to arrange fixes in advance of travel. Once your
body has become an extension of a rowing machine you are in real
trouble. I suggest that, if you are not sure of getting access to a
machine on your travels, you take a digital performance meter from an
ergo with you so you can look at it in your bedroom.
Hope this helps,
Steve.

Yes I've stayed there - 2 ergs in good condition. Sadly our office has
now moved hence a different hotel.

Huh, I tried the tour but didn't manage to find the gym, thanks.
Yes - business trip of course.

Well, I have our main regatta of the year coming up so need to push
the 2k rowing fitness, and a few weeks after that I am rowing 30 miles
around Hong Kong island, hence the need to get the miles in on the
ergo, as well as other forms of aerobic training too....

Yes, I did have a page for a while some years ago but nobody every
mailed me with updates or additions so I took it down, believing that
web pages should be current or dead.
I have a good personal list covering the cities in the UK that I use
myself, mainly London, the surrounding area, and one or two other places
in the South of England. But Stamps probably wants some exotic location
thousands of miles to the East!

I can recommend the Hotel Excelsior in Dubrovnik; having asked if they
have a C2, so I can plan my packing next week, they not only confirmed
that they did, but went to the bother of taking a photo of it to make
sure it was what I was asking about.
