Had a blast with coach Megan and the crew. Been pretty lacky with my cardio lately so this is def a good way to put in some work for my cardiovascular system 😂. Gave four stars just because I am so new to it and sometimes dont know if Im doing it right or wrong 😂 …

If you're someone who's wanting to start rowing and don't know where to start, this is the right place for you! If you've had some experience with rowing and are looking to level up the game then this is the right place for you. Their coaches are great and the variety of classes will help you in getting the best results you're looking for. I really like taking classes with coaches Jordan and Jenny, mostly because their class timings fit my schedule.. :). Other coaches and the staff member are great and very friendly as well.

This place offers 45 mins indoor rowing machine classes that are guided by a coach.1) AmbienceIf you haven't tried a trial class, it might appear that this could be boring. The ambience is the first thing you will notice compared to a regular gym. There are music and light effects. The combination creates an interesting environment and with beats you can align your rowing pace.2) CoachesIf you think rowing is something you might need a personal coach, then it might appear (before taking a class) that the coach in a group class may not be able to give individual attention. This is not the case. The coach provides individual attention, before, during and after the class - This was sufficient enough to improve my form. Also, the coaches make an effort to speak to you and know you by your name. So you will not feel left out even if you are an introvert person.Quick tip for first timers: Take coach Megan Full Row class.3) Technology/ AppUnlike your regular gym, every single session is captured in the App. So you know how much you are rowing, and if you are improving, trends etc. If you are a numbers-driven person, this might help.4) Supporting EnvironmentI would say that the front desk staff is equally important as the coaches themselves. Many businesses (such as doctor's offices) sometimes get negative reviews coz the front desk staff weren't trained properly in customer support. Rowhouse has exceptional front desk staff. This is important - they guide you through the various subscription options (well trained so that it never seemed a sales pitch), also check on your progress, and create a welcoming environment.5) EventsIn Jan 2023, they had a row2rosolve event which means that you need to complete 15 classes in 1 month. While this is not everyone, it creates a motivational environment. They also had prizes for whoever complete the challenge. You might find one of similar events useful.6) ResultsImproved fitness for me. But it really depends on the person.7) What to look for before signing-up- Class timings. The studio isn't open all day. So check out if the schedule work you.- How many classes in a week you want to take.- Your fitness goals and type of classes. They have a range of classes to choose from. Some classes are just rowing, some classes involve rowing + floor exercises or weights and so on. This might help if you are trying to achieve a fitness goal.

Great class with plenty of personalized attention from the instructor. The weights supplemented the rowing really well, and the challenges kept us motivated! My friend was a beginner and had a great time as well.
