SpeedCoach GPS Model 2 is now only available with Training Pack.
Rowing's most popular performance monitor, the SpeedCoach GPS 2, offers athletes critical information about boat speed (split), stroke rate, distance, and time. Use by itself in GPS mode or connect to an impeller (impeller and wiring sold separately) for additional accuracy in moving water. The Training Pack features now come standard. Program any workout ahead of time, start and record pieces without letting go of the oar handle and upload the data wirelessly to a computer or mobile device. The SpeedCoach GPS with Training Pack supports the EmPower Oarlock and is the central component of NK’s connected rowing environment.
NOTE: The SpeedCoach GPS 2 is designed for rowing. Please see the SpeedCoach SUP 2 or SpeedCoach OC 2 if you are looking for a SpeedCoach for stand-up paddleboarding or outrigger canoeing.
Train Smarter. Race Better.
Whether you’re training for international competition or preparing for your first race, the SpeedCoach GPS 2 is the perfect piece of equipment to have in your boat.
With the Training Pack features standard, you can program workouts, track your progress over time, and make your SpeedCoach GPS 2 compatible with a heart rate monitor or EmPower Oarlock.
Stay engaged for your whole workout with stroke-by-stroke updates on speed, rate, distance and time.
Early morning practice? Midday race? See your numbers clearly at any time during the day with the easy-to-use backlight and high-contrast display.
Make the most of your time on the water: complete even the most complex workouts without stopping to reset the timer or manage your data.
Upload data directly to your computer or mobile device to track your progress over time.
Take advantage of all the latest SpeedCoach GPS 2 capabilities with regular, free firmware updates.
Find the boat-movers without relying on erg scores. Add the SpeedCoach Training Pack to summarize data from timed pieces.

Manage multiple crews more easily on the water. When your athletes have access to rate, time, distance, and split, you can give them the workout and let them execute it on their own.

Collect the most accurate speed data possible—even while rowing in current—with the low-profile impeller.
Set clear goals for your athletes and make lineup selection more transparent.

The SpeedCoach GPS is compatible with our SpeedCoach Impeller (sold separately). Training with an impeller has been the gold standard for rowing for years, especially for teams that train on moving water. Impeller speed measures the movement of the boat relative to the water, while GPS speed measures the movement of the boat relative to the ground. This can be a powerful training tool and a great way to learn more about your paddling. To get started training with an impeller, you will need the SpeedCoach Impeller Wiring, Wireless Angle Bracket Mount, and SpeedCoach Impeller.
If you are interested, we wrote a blog post highlighting the differences between impeller speed versus GPS speed.
“I am delighted with the product and use both the speed and heart monitor to push like hell.”
“If it wasn't for the Speedcoach to begin with I wouldn't be [anywhere] near where I am at in regards to the competitive scene."
“I'm amazed that your GPS is so accurate— +/- one meter is astounding!”
“Great piece of equipment for data-driven coaches!»
Train smarter, improve your performance, and stay fit with this full-featured rowing performance monitor designed to maximize your training effectiveness. The SpeedCoach GPS 2 is designed and built in the USA and comes with a 2-year warranty.
