Before booking, get in touch for a short conversation. RowStrong classes are matched by experience and current fitness levels. We aim to put together crews of people who train together consistently, just as they would at a rowing club. The right starting point depends on your background.
New to rowing?
If you have little or no experience on a rowing machine, you will start with an introductory programme. These sessions focus on the fundamentals of the rowing stroke and build the technique and confidence needed to join a crew class.
Some gym rowing experience?
If you use a rowing machine regularly but haven't had formal coaching, a short technique assessment will establish what you need. Most people in this category can join a crew class after a small number of introductory sessions.
Experienced rower?
If you a competent indoor rower or have on-water crew rowing experience, you may be able to join a crew class straight away. Get in touch and we can confirm the right fit.
A very limited number of personal training slots are available for athletes requiring bespoke strength and conditioning support. £40 per hour — contact us directly to discuss availability and booking.
Wear what you would normally train in — t-shirt and shorts or leggings. You can get quite warm during an rowing class so light, breathable kit is best. Bring a water bottle and a small towel.
The best way to get in touch is via WhatsApp on 07418 605495 and we will get back to you to discuss the right class and current availability. You can also use contact form here or email info@rowstrongcoaching.com.
