Winter Training : Pedal Power

Winter is where crews are built. While the snow falls, our athletes put in the hard hours indoors to build a solid aerobic conditioning base for the spring water season. But to take our training to the next level—and keep our athletes healthy and strong—we need to expand our fleet.

We are raising funds to complement our rowing ergometers with Concept2 Bike Ergs ("Bergs").

Adding Bike Ergs to our winter training ecosystem delivers three game-changing benefits for our crew:

• Advanced Cross-Training: Low-impact cycling builds powerhouse aerobic capacity while giving repetitive rowing joints a vital break.

• Injury Prevention: Smart cross-training reduces overuse injuries, keeping our rowers on the erg and out of the physical therapy clinic.

• Expanded Capacity: More equipment means we can safely accommodate larger training groups, welcoming more athletes into the boathouse and introducing the life-changing sport of rowing to even more youth and community members.

Be part of our growth. Every contribution helps us secure the gear we need to train harder, row faster, and welcome new faces to our rowing community.
