September 15, 2009 – The best motocross and off-road riding schools in the world are using Concept2 Indoor Rowers to better prepare their riders for the high intensity and grueling demands of racing. One such world-class motocross school leading the pack is the Millsaps Training Facility (MTF) in Cairo, Georgia. Under the watchful eye of Riding Coach Colleen Millsaps and Head Trainer Clint Friesen, the next stars of motocross are honing their skills as well as their fitness using Concept2 Indoor Rowers as part of their training.

Concept2 has seen growth in many new areas of sport from mixed martial arts, motocross, off-road racing, Indy car and NASCAR to functional training protocols such as CrossFit and Gym Jones. The driving force behind this growth is the need for these athletes to possess amazing power, speed and endurance without added body mass that can slow the athlete down and cause them to tire too quickly. The “name of the game” in motor and action sports is to have a high strength-to- Concept2 was founded by Dick and Peter Dreissigacker in 1976. Fresh from Olympic training, the two brothers designed and manufactured carbon fiber racing oars, then went on to create the world’s first airresistance indoor rower.
