Row House

If you want to learn how to row and/or improve your rowing skills. THIS IS NOT THE GYM FOR YOU!!!nnWhen this gym reopened in September, I was excited to join as I LOVE to row and have for the past 10 years. Everything was good until the Head Trainer left for medical reasons and a new manager Bret was hired.nnCurrently, all but one coach is new to Rowhouse after the reopening in September and they all appear to have little to no prior experience in rowing. Furthermore, there is no Experienced Head Trainer to improve the skills and coaching styles of the new coaches.nnThe coach is normally on the rower for most of the class, but when off the rower, they are not providing coaching to those who may not be rowing properly. These members may not even be aware they are not rowing properly. Why is this an issue? Just like any athletic sport, you can easily injure yourself if you don’t row correctly. From knees issues to shoulder and back injuries – all could happen without the proper technique. Also, just like most sports, a person would hope to improve your stamina, health and rowing skills. None of these benefits will occur without proper coaching. Instead, a member increases the possibility of injury and is a waste of money.nnAfter attending a class and seeing a couple of the members who definitely needed help with their rowing skills, I suggested to the manager perhaps some cues or a bit of help could be offered. I expected this information would be welcomed and analyzed to determine if it makes sense. Instead, the manager indicated this feedback was hurtful and negative and; following, cancelled my membership. This is NOT the type of person who can successfully run this gym or create a quality atmosphere for members

I signed up the first day they officially opened! It’s a sort of family affair if you will. We look out for each other, work hard and our team leaders push us to see results! 35 pounds down in 4 months safely! Hoping for more variety in classes offered/times but really just happy ud83dude03 to be back and moving!

Normally I do not write reviews like this, but this establishment has sent me about 25 follow requests on Instagram. Each one I deny. At some point, marketing becomes spam.

I took advantage of the first class is free thing, and had a good work out, got winded. Next time I will go harder! The instructor, Ashely had great enthusiasm and energy!

Cool little studio. Had a fun class!
