First time I enjoyed working out
"Started off with the beginner course and I feel like I am being helped to fitness instead of pushed to it. The pace makes you feel accomplished instead of drained."

I love it
“I really enjoy how it takes you from beginner and slowly moves you up in intensity and stroke rate.”

GETTING STARTED SERIES
We’ll teach you proper form through a variety of methods - video tutorials, interactive training, and short, accessible workouts.
Features for Rowing Newbies
Beginner Programs
From “Couch to 1k” to “My first 5k” to “Power to an Hour”, we’ll guide you through your first few months of rowing with programs specifically designed to introduce you to rowing.
Supportive Community
Around 40% of our members are completely new to rowing. Compare notes and offer support with them in our Facebook, Reddit and Strava communities.
Smooth Resistance
Natural water resistance is best for beginner rowers because it is evenly distributed throughout the stroke and is easier on the back than electromagnetic or air.
Workouts that adapt to you and evolve with you as you improve
Ergatta's unique calibration system is especially helpful for beginners. After the Getting Started Series and your initial Calibration test, all workout programming will be tailored to your level. As you get the hang of rowing, your profile will automatically recalibrate and adapt your experience to make each target and competitor a fair challenge.
