Rower

Modern indoor rowers are often known as ergometers (colloquially erg or ergo), which is technically incorrect, as an ergometer is a device which measures the amount of work performed. The indoor rower is calibrated to measure the amount of energy the rower is using through their use of the equipment. Typically the display of the ergometer will show the time it takes to row 500m at each strokes power, also called split rate, or split.
