Bring yourself and a water bottle with a sports bottle type lid (we have a filtered water bottle filling station). Athletic shoes (low profile shoes work best but any running shoe will work), shorts/pants (fitted is best so they don't catch in the slide of the rower) and a t-shirt/tank top (whatever you will feel comfortable in).

No worries and totally expected. We offer "Learn to Row" classes each week.  Sign up for an individual session or small group class. If no times work for you, reach out, I am sure we can find something that works.

If this is your first time, give yourself at least 15 minutes. If not, and you are dressed and ready to go, a couple of minutes is plenty. The goal is to have you ready to go at the start of class.

Yes, there are lockers where you can place your extra clothing items and such. Bring your own lock for more security.

No showers. There are two large bathrooms that can be used as changing areas if needed.

Just about all of them. Every full stroke will utilize the leg muscles (calves, hamstrings and quadriceps); the glutes, abs, obliques and pecs; as well as the biceps, triceps, deltoids, back and lats.

Rowing is a low-impact activity which utilizes a natural movement. It provides total-body conditioning as answered by what muscles are utilized and lastly it is an excellent cardiovascular/aerobic workout. It lends itself as a great cross-training workout as well.

From a physical perspective, yes it is; although rowing on the water requires a bit more balance and concentration and in my opinion can be a bit more enjoyable. If rowing on a boat with others, they are relying on you just as you are relying on them, sometimes this alone is motivation. The goal is to invite this similar camaraderie into the indoor gym experience without expecting everyone being equally fit and strong.
