Private Classes Available – Great for Overweight or Obese Individuals too!

Rowing is suitable for all body sizes—including overweight individuals who may find other exercises difficult. The Indoor Rower fits every body with just three points of contact—the seat, handle, and footrests—and accommodates individuals who weigh up to 500 lbs.

The impact-free nature of rowing also makes it a great exercise to combat obesity. Rowing is appropriate for overweight exercisers who may be susceptible to injuries in other sports, such as running. For example: in each stride of running, a force 5–6 times the body weight is placed on bones and joints. For an obese individual, the extra weight causes undue stress on the body which can quickly lead to injury and frustration. In rowing, the rower’s weight is supported on the sliding seat, which protects the bones and joints from such impact—allowing for more productive calorie-burning workouts.

On the Indoor Rower, you are in complete control of the resistance. The harder you pull, the more resistance you will feel. If you row intensely, you will get an intense workout; if you row easily, you will get an easier workout. There’s no need to worry that you will be forced to work too hard.

We realize that sometimes a class setting is uncomfortable for some and we can work with you to offer private classes.

Why Rowing is better than Spinning!

Boost your chances of staying healthy with these nutrient-packed picks

Dairy Most milk, yogurt, and cheese contains vitamin D and calcium. These nutrients work together to prevent bone loss.
Slow-cooked stews Made with lean beef, postrun stews provide iron needed for red blood cell production.
Green tea A mug will warm you up post-workout—plus, research shows EGCG (a compound in green tea) has anticancer properties that may prevent skin-tumor growth.
Canned tuna It’s a good source of vitamin D, important in the winter when less sun exposure decreases our body’s ability to produce it.
Barley This chewy grain (perfect for soups and stews) is high in cholesterol-lowering fiber and selenium, which reduces free-radical damage.
Winter squash Sharpen your eyesight for dark months with vitamin A superstars, such as pumpkin and butternut squash.
Onions and garlic These bulbs provide a boost of flavor along with antimicrobial properties, which may help protect you from winter bugs.
Kale In season in early winter, this leafy green delivers a megadose of vitamin K, which helps maintain strong bones and form blood clots.
Baked potatoes White spuds are high in vitamin C, while sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin A—two antioxidants that help protect your immune system.
Citrus Oranges, grapefruits, and other types of citrus fruits (at their peak in the winter months) are high in fiber and immune-boosting vitamin C.
