Row House

My first class was awesome. The instructor Tanya was very helpful in showing me how to use the machine and throughout the class encouraging me to push. Love Row house. The ladies at the front were very helpful answering any questions and telling me about all the different classes, I originally came in to buy classes for my husband and ended up signing up for a free class and then buying classes for myself. Highly recommend checking out Row House!!!

I went to the Santa Clara Row House for my first class with Megan. Oh man! It busted my a**, in such a great way. I loved the whole experience and the staff were super helpful with teaching me how to go about everything. Definitely going back! I’m excited to attend another one of Megan’s class and so stoked that it’s a classic rock theme🤘Can’t wait! Also invited my bff to come along , I know she’ll love it.

I love these classes. I went into my trial class not sure what to expect. The instructor met my husband and me before the start of class and explained everything, the row (yes, there is a technique to good effective rowing) the structure of the class, and the breaks. Then, we got to rowing...it was so much fun! We both came out feeling that we got a full body workout and looking forward to the next class. If you're wondering, don't hesitate. They offer the opportunity to try one class for free and you get to choose which one works for you.

Excellent facility. Excellent coaches. Excellent front of (Row) house staff. The classes provide access to fitness for all levels. I was a complete Gumby in my first class. Coach Megan was patient and soon I was seeing measurable improvement in overall fitness and conditioning. The big plus at any age is obtaining these improvements without impact on the joints.

A total blast. I love the energy and attitude of all the coaches. I just wish they offered more convenient times for their classes. As a working mom, I have a small window of time I can use to work out. Very nurturing environment—a community indeed.

Great work out, dedicated community, encouraging teachers! I love taking classes here. I take class once a week as part of my routine that includes lots of teaching and taking yoga most days and one cycling class a week. I have noticed a lot more power and strength in everything else I do, and after a month and a half or so I have already improved my rowing too! I get personal progress in email and in their app and it shows me that I’m getting stronger and more efficient at it. The teachers are great and very responsive to feedback and always making sure we got something out of class. The music system is really nice and motivating to keep on rhythm. Lots of contests and special themed classes available to keep it interesting. Most classes I go to are a mix of floor exercises with weights or body weight and are really challenging. Would recommend this experience to anyone hoping to get strong and fit with good music and supportive people all around. Thanks Rowhouse Santa Clara!

I have thoroughly enjoyed the rowing classes. I love the brand, and look/feel of the facilities. I had the privilege of visiting two studios, and enjoyed classes led by Jenny & Xander. The classes are great for getting back in to the swing of fitness. The music is lit too! So glad I got a class pack to help me decide if membership is the way to go.

Updated review from 2 stars to 4 stars -Row House cared to act on the previous experience (below) and I am happy with the classes that I've attended so far with Jenny and Dante. Dante was very clear and patient with explaining form and posture during my first-class and Jenny was very engaging. I've never had 45 minutes of "gym" classes fly by so quickly.Rowing is definitely an activity that is good for all fitness levels.-------------Original review -1 star review for the experience, but +1 star for the manager trying to hear me out.As did another reviewer (who gave 1 star), I too experienced a rude instructor who denied me entry from class (for a Sunday morning 9am class, same instructor as the other reviewer who had a Saturday a.m. class) for my first class.If you would like to try a class at Row House, you better be 15 minutes early to your class. It is stated on the ClassPass page or email they send you, but it is not clearly stated that you will be denied entry to class, said to you in a rude, disrespectful, and demeaning attitude. The tone was so rude and disrespectful that a student of the class witnessed this and said "you should report her to the manager because she is not allowed to do that".I have spoken to the manager about a few issues:1) lack of consistency in this "15 minute" policy, since my friend (who was also a first-timer) came "10" minutes early and was not denied.2) if this policy should be followed, the receptionist should not have even bothered showing me to my locker, the restrooms, and have given me a towel. the receptionist should have been the "gate" for this policy3) the way this was approached, by the instructor, was very unwelcoming and could have been handled more professionally4) the strictness of the policy should be conveyed firmly instead of "please arrive 15 minutes early." Clearly indicate that in all communications if it is surely that strict. Nobody will be upset with you if you clearly state that "please arrive 15 minutes early so that we can orient you or we will be unable to accommodate you into the class."I have spoken to the manager about this and thank you for hearing me out, but at this point, this review is how I feel. I appreciate you hearing me out and for providing a complimentary pass and I will update this review after accordingly.

This is by far one of the best workouts you can do, especially if you are time limited. It’s high intensity and low impact and really pumps you up! I always try to go with Coach Jenny, she instructs very well, her music choices are great and is highly motivating. This is a much better workout than your average gym session or soul cycle, I recommend it to everyone!

I am a big fan of Row House Santa Clara. Before every class I am greeted by name and with a big smile from the staff. The studio is spotless and equipment is in great shape. I love that classes always start promptly on time and instructors utilize every minute allotted. I love the results I’ve gotten in the 2+ months of taking class. My core, abdominals, and upper body have never felt stronger. I’m a devoted Coach Jenny follower and appreciate her dedication to helping me learn and improve my rowing at each class. Coach Jenny takes the time to make sure newbies are set up correctly and teaches the elementary aspects to ensure safety. She has great enthusiasm and inspires you to push your hardest.
