Can I ride if I am a beginner? Yes! Your instructor will remind you to pace yourself. With dedication and discipline, your strength and stamina will increase and the workout will improve every time. First timer? Please arrive 10-15 minutes before class begins.
What is indoor group rowing and how will I benefit? Rowing is a strength-endurance sport. One of the few non-weight bearing, low-impact sports that exercise all of the major muscle groups, including quadriceps, latissimus dorsi, gluteals and core stabilizers. Rowing improves cardiovascular endurance and muscular strength. For runners and other endurance athletes, rowing enhances your training in an amazing way! It's a great calorie burn (500-750 calories per hour).
What is a water rower? A water rower is an indoor rowing machine that catches with water rather than traditional rowers (ergs) that catch with air. It simulates the action of water rowing for the purpose of training. In addition to the high levels of fitness attained, rowing is an intense calorie-burning exercise. Although rowers with less ability and strength will burn fewer calories, the indoor rower is an excellent tool for use in a weight-loss program.
How do I register for my first class? Registering online is necessary. It saves time and guarantees your reservation for class.
Are the regular strength and core classes appropriate for clients new to regular exercise? These classes move quickly and are intense. A better option is the RIDE+TRX, RIDE+STRENGTH. Once you feel you can properly hold a plank for 60 seconds and use the TRX, BOSU balance trainers, and discs proficiently, give the more challenging classes a try. Starting with an Active Isolated Stretch (AIS) class is a great introduction to regular exercise.
What is Active Isolated Stretching? AIS is a method of stretching that focuses on the science behind the stretch. After 2 seconds, your body signals a stretched muscle to contract. With AIS, Every stretch activates, isolates, and encourages tissues to lengthen with a maximum 2-second hold. AIS is the best maintenance a body can experience. When performed regularly, AIS encourages pain-free movement, better strength gains, and optimal range of motion. It's appropriate for all ages and levels of fitness.
How do I know where to go? Studio ride or studio row? Please go to our online scheduler. Next to each class name and the instructor's name is the room name - studio ride or studio row. The entrance to each studio is clearly marked as well. Studio ride (green entry door): All ride, TRX, strength, and core classes. Studio row (blue entry door): All row and AIS classes.
What should I wear to ride or row? Bike shorts, capris or leggings work well. Shirts or tank tops made of sweat-wicking material are a must. There's nothing more uncomfortable than a soaked, oversized cotton t-shirt. Baggy shorts are not ideal for rowing. They may catch on the monorail. For indoor cycling, athletic shoes are satisfactory, but cycling shoes are highly recommended. Try the classes before you buy the shoes. Regular athletic shoes are appropriate for rowing. Bring a water bottle and a towel.
Can my children wait for me while I workout? The studio does not offer childcare. Young children are not welcome at the studio during class time. Tweens and teens are welcomed with an adult. Older teens (16-19) can join us anytime! Recommended age for rowing/riding is 13.
I've never used the TRX suspension training system before and it's a bit intimidating! No worries! If you'd like a short tutorial before or after class, just ask your instructor. Taking 5 minutes to get comfortable with adjusting the straps makes a huge difference. The Ride+TRX classes are a great way to begin using the TRX system.
Do I really need strength/core training? Isn't cardio enough? With regular strength training, there's no better way to increase your lean body mass. Regular strength and core training is a must! Cardio is great, cardio and strength training is even better.
