Maybe it’s time to give the Biathlon feature on the PM5 a shot (pun intended, and no gun needed)! This fun feature allows you to combine other forms of exercise with your erg work (row, ski or bike), adds the dimension of penalties, and allows you to get a total elapsed time for your workout.

First, how it works: Every metre you ever row, ski or ride counts! Once you count up to one million (or more) we recognize the accomplishment with certificates and prizes.

Introducing the 2020 Spring VIII Series—a new virtual team challenge that allows athletes to compete as a crew of eight from the comfort of their own homes.
