General Questions
- What is the online logbook?
The Concept2 Online Logbook is a free training tool that allows you to record your workouts on the Concept2 RowErg, SkiErg and BikeErg. You can keep track of your total meters, analyze your progress, take part in challenges, and compare your results against others worldwide.
- Does the logbook and ranking use "cookies"?
-
Yes. When you log in, our website stores several small text files called cookies on your computer. If you are unable to log in or enter a result after creating a new profile it may be due to the cookie setting on your browser.
- When do the logbook and rankings start and end each year?
-
The Concept2 Online Logbook and Ranking season runs from May 1–April 30. On May 1 every year, the previous 12 months worth of data is archived, and a new year begins with a blank slate.
- Can I enter workouts from a past logbook and ranking season in my logbook?
-
Yes.
- Do lifetime meters start over with each new logbook and ranking year?
-
No. Your lifetime meters are just that: all the meters you've logged in your lifetime. This value gets carried forward from one logbook and ranking season to the next.
- Can I exercise on other brand machines and use the logbook to track my meters and participate in challenges?
-
No. We require that you use Concept2 equipment for the Concept2 Online Logbook, Rankings and challenges. The Performance Monitor on Concept2 equipment measures work (and therefore meters) reliably and comparably; we're unable to accept data from other sources.

Workouts done on the Concept2 SkiErg or BikeErg do not have a weight classification.
- I haven't entered my meters in my logbook in a while. Can I enter them in one bulk entry?
-
Yes, you can. Rather than enter them on the main log page, you should instead enter them as Catchup Meters from the History page. Catchup Meters have a start and end period, so you can either enter them as one sum or break them down by shorter periods.
- The number of meters I've done in life do not match the lifetime meter total in my logbook. How can I correct my logbook total?
-
If your displayed Lifetime Meters is less than your total, enter the difference as Catchup Meters. If your displayed Lifetime Meters is more than your total, you’ll need to examine your past meters to find the discrepancy and correct it.

-
If your "Show Profile" is set to Everyone, then your profile may appear on search engines.
- If I choose not to appear on honor boards, what happens if I am a member of an affiliation or team? Will my meters still count?

For affiliations, your name will appear as "Name withheld" on the affiliation standings, and nobody will see your name or age. For teams, your name will only be visible to members of your team. For everybody else it will appear as "Name withheld".
- If I choose not to appear on honor boards, will my name still appear on the Rankings if I rank a piece?
-
Yes. If you rank a piece, it will appear on the Rankings as normal.
Sharing Workouts on Social Media
- How can I share my workouts on social media?
-
If you go to the detail view for a workout, you can see icons to share your workout on Twitter, Facebook or via Email.
- If I share a workout on Facebook, does that make it visible to everybody?
-
If you share a workout on Facebook, anybody who has permission to view your Facebook profile will see a summary of your workout.

For the RowErg and SkiErg, you can rank the following workouts:
- 100 Meters
- 500 Meters
- 1000 Meters
- 2000 Meters
- 5000 Meters
- 6000 Meters
- 10000 Meters

All ranking pieces must be single distance or timed pieces (no interval pieces) started from a non-moving flywheel. Accelerated starts from moving flywheels during intervals are not accepted as ranking times. Generally Just Row/Ski/Ride pieces are not acceptable because the distance/time must be exact to meet the category requirements above. You can only rank pieces in the current Logbook season.
- How can I set up an exact single distance or timed piece to be ranked?
- See Setting Up a Single Distance Workout or Setting Up a Single Time Workout on the How To Use Your PM5 page.
- How can I verify my result in the rankings?
-
Pieces that are uploaded directly using the Concept2 Utility (from your LogCard or USB flash drive), the ErgData app, or those that come from races, are automatically classed as verified. Verification is not required to rank a piece, however, to flag a manually entered piece as "verified", you can use the verification code from your PM3, PM4 or PM5. See Viewing a Verification Code on the How To Use Your PM5 page. If you have an older Performance Monitor (PM2 or PM1 only), use the contact page after you have entered it into the ranking and choose "Verify a Piece".
- Can I rank a result from a past season?
No, you can only rank results completed during the current logbook and ranking season.
- How can I see last year's rankings?
-
To see prior seasons' rankings, select the year you want to see from the search criteria on the main rankings page.
- I edited a workout that I'd previously ranked, and now I can't find it in the rankings. Why?
-
Editing a ranked piece removes it from the ranking. To re-rank the piece, click the blue rank link in the Status column for that piece on your main logbook page.
- If I have a ranked piece in a given ranking category (let's say 5,000 meters) and I enter a faster time for that 5,000 meters, do I need to unrank my slower time in order to rank my faster time?
-
No. When you rank the faster time, the slower time is automatically removed from the rankings so you'll only have one ranked time for that category.
- How do I delete a ranking piece?
-
On either Ranked Workouts page or from your Log, click Unrank next to the workout you want to delete.
This does not remove the piece for your logbook. It simply removes it from the Rankings. You can only delete ranked workouts from the current season.
- Can I rank an on-water piece?
-
No. On-water pieces are not eligible for the Rankings.
- If a birthday puts me into the next ranking age category, can I have two different pieces ranked for the same distance—each under a different age category?
-
No, you will have to choose which piece you want to rank. You can only have one ranking entry per event per season regardless of age.
- Why are some people listed twice in the same ranking?
-
In some cases an individual may appear twice when they have input their own times, and then had their race results sent to us by the race organizers. We try and automatically merge these results, but if their names or date of births differ they may appear twice. Please let us know about any duplicates via the contact page.
- Are pieces on the Dynamic RowErg ranked separately to pieces on a RowErg?
-
You can now rank pieces separately on a RowErg, RowErg on Slides and the Dynamic RowErg and these will all show up in separate sections on your Ranked Workouts page. When you view Rankings, you can choose which "RowErg Type" to search by: whether all types, Dynamic only or RowErg only etc. Only one piece by you will ever show up in any Ranking, so if you have a 2,000m time ranked for both the RowErg and the Dynamic RowErg, and you choose to view "All Results" for RowErg Type, only your fastest piece will show up.
- What do the types "R", "D" and "S" mean on the ranking page?
-
R, D, and S tell you the type of machine used for a ranked RowErg piece:
R RowErg.
D Dynamic RowErg.
S RowErg on Slides.These letters appear in the Type column when you're viewing a RowErg ranking and have chosen "All Results" for RowErg Type.

You can only have one team captain at a time. To change the captain of your team, click on Transfer Captaincy on the Team Captain page. You can only transfer the captaincy to somebody already on your team. They will receive an email with the option to either accept or reject the captaincy. If the new team captain is not currently on the team, please use the contact page to arrange the transfer.
- Can I be captain for more than one team?
-
It is only possible to be the captain for one team at a time.
- Can I add team members who don't have their own Logbook?
-
Managed accounts are online profiles created and managed by a team captain. This allows the team captain to enter challenge meters on that team member's behalf. (Members who do not have managed accounts enter their own meters in their online profiles, and those meters are reflected in the team's total.)
To create a managed account:
- On the Teams page in your online logbook click Go To Team Captain page.
- Click Create Managed Account, and enter the user’s data.
- Click Create Account.
This adds the managed account to your roster but does not sign that person up for the current challenge. To enter managed accounts in a challenge:
- Tick the check box in the Enter column for that member. (If you have several managed accounts to sign up, tick the All check box at the top of the table.)
- Click Signup Managed at the bottom of the table. Once signed up, a field will appear in the Quick Meters column for that person, where you can enter meters on their behalf.
Note that you will have to sign up managed accounts for each team challenge.
