not sure where to start?

Don’t worry. Just get in touch and we’ll talk you through everything.

It’s a sport that people become passionate about – because you never stop learning.

Worried you’re not fit enough?

Don’t. Rowing will also get you fit – fast. 

We have a scientifically designed training programme that maximises return on your time. You can use it at times that suit you (many use their local gyms and only appear at the club at the weekend). It’s still one of the most exhilarating ways to keep fit (in both body and mind).
