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.
Program Structure: There will be an introductory focus on technique through the use of the erg (stationary rowing machine). You will then learn how to row on the Allegheny River. The program is made up of on-land instruction on the erg and on-water instruction in our racing shells, depending on the weather.
We will also do some floor core exercises to increase your stability in the rowing position, and may add in some light weight body-circuits to help your muscles become more accustomed to the movements of rowing.
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.
***If a session is cancelled due to weather or emergency a text notification will be sent out to registered attendees.
