New to Erg Training!
Practices will scalable to any level to ensure that all members are getting the most out of winter training. We will have access to sliders, that link multiple ergs together to allow practice rowing together like on the water.
There is also a Swingulator, an indoor rowing simulator that integrates the Concept 2 erg with oar handles and rowing stations to create the feeling of rowing on the water in a boat. It will allow us to have two rowers working on rotation and squaring and feathering while also getting a workout in.
The space also features locker rooms, good lighting and ventilation, and mirrors on 3 sides to allow for instant feedback.
If you are interested in receiving a monthly update of the training plan please email russ@a2crew.org. Russ encourages all members to keep in contact with the club during winter training. Although you may not want to do the full program, please consider dropping in for a few workouts.
