New Concept2 Model D Indoor Rower in Davie Outpatient Clinic!

CardioFlex is excited to announce our newest addition to our cardio equipment, the new state-of-the-art Concept2 Model D Indoor Rower.  This new piece of equipment will be great for patients of all ages at our Physical Therapy & Occupational Therapy Outpatient Clinic in Davie, FL.  It will promote cardiovascular health as well as strengthen upper and lower extremities.  The Model D will help to rehabilitate patients suffering from injuries to their neck, arms, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, back, core, legs, knees, ankles, feet and more.

The dependable performance of the Concept2 Model D Indoor Rower has made it the best selling indoor rower in the world.  Recognized by competitive rowers as the standard for indoor training, the Model D delivers an effective cardiovascular workout that will increase your fitness level, promote rehabilitation of the body, and tone your physique.  The Model D is efficiently engineered and will last a lifetime.  The Model D is the same machine used by Olympic and elite-level athletes to train for their sport, as well as the same rower found in some of the most popular gyms such as LA Fitness, YouFit, Planet Fitness, Retro Fitness, etc.

Some features of the Concept2 Model D Indoor Rower include…

Performance Monitor:

The Performance Monitor is what sets Concept2 Indoor Rowers apart from other training devices, and every Model D includes our most advanced monitor, the PM5.  Sophisticated yet easy to use, the PM5 provides accurate, comparable data for every row.  A backlight increases visibility, compatibility with USB flash drives makes storing your workout data a breeze, and you can wirelessly monitor your heart rate.  The adjustable monitor arm on the Model D lets you position the monitor where you prefer.

Flywheel & Damper

Concept2 rowers respond to your effort on every stroke, so you are in full control of your exertion and resistance at all times.  The spiral damper allows you to easily adjust the airflow to the flywheel, so you can change the feel of the stroke to suit your preference.  The flywheel design minimizes noise while maximizing a smooth feel.

Adjustable Footrests & Ergonomic Handle:

Adjustable footrests on the indoor rower for quick and easy sizing.  (Footrests accommodate a wide range of shoe sizes.)  The rowers comfortable, ergonomic handle features a 10 degree bend that allows you to row with a natural arm and hand position.

Sallarulo's Race for Champions

CardioFlex is proud to support the Sallarulo’s Race for Champions benefiting the Special Olympics Florida – Broward County on Saturday, November 4, 2017. For the past 11 years on a Saturday morning in November, thousands of people have gathered on the Nova Southeastern Davie Campus, united by one common cause – to support Special Olympics Florida – Broward County in the Sallarulo’s Race for Champions 5K Run/Walk. Now in its twelfth year, the need is greater than ever to raise funds as our county program continues to grow, offering training and competition in 23 sports, serving over 5,000 athletes on a year-round basis.

Sallarulo’s Race for Champions was founded on the belief that everyone deserves a chance and an opportunity to live a fulfilled life. The race not only raises funds but raises awareness. The race is a day of inclusion and acceptance with hundreds of community members, with and without disabilities, running alongside each other, as equals.

We hope that you will consider becoming a sponsor for this year’s event.  With your support, you’re investing in the lives of our Special Olympics athletes and in the betterment of the community in which we live.
