Adult Rowing

Who Can Participate? Anyone 19 or older may sign-up. As with any fitness class, please be conscious of what your body is capable of. That being said, you do not need to be an athlete to participate. Each individual is able to bring their own intensity to the workouts, whether your goal is to gain flexibility at a slower pace, or build strength and endurance by speeding up your workout.

Program Structure: There will be an introductory focus on technique to ensure safe use of the erg (stationary rowing machine). This will be balanced with time and distance workouts to raise your heart rate and reap the cardio benefits of rowing. We will also do some floor core exercises to increase your stability through the rowing motion, and may add in some light weight body-circuits to help your muscles become more accustomed to the movements of rowing and diversify your time in each session.

Facility Information: All sessions will take place at Allegheny RiverTrail Park (285 River Ave, Aspinwall, PA 15215). Free parking is available on-site; however, the lot may not be plowed during winter, so please use caution. There are public restrooms at the park; however, there may not be indoor access depending on the use of the connecting rooms.

When Are Sessions Offered? Adult rowing sessions are offered on the water in the evenings during the Summer and Fall, and indoors in the evening during the Winter. At this time, spring sessions are not available due to the unpredictable weather and water conditions.
