Making rowing accessible

Community. Inclusion. Progress. We’re an indoor rowing club for all ages and abilities, created to make rowing more accessible for everyone.

We’re a community-led indoor rowing club with a big focus on technique, training, and togetherness. Whether you row for fitness, performance, or just love the vibe — you’ll find your crew here.

From complete beginners to high-performance athletes, everyone is welcome. If you want to move better, feel stronger, and row smarter — this is the place.

Great rowing isn’t just about working harder — it’s about moving better with purpose. Our sessions are designed to help you use the most effective muscle groups — starting with the legs — so you can row more powerfully, efficiently, and sustainably.

We teach the fundamentals right, helping you build a strong technical base and unlock your full potential. The result? Smoother, stronger, more enjoyable rowing with real progress you can sustain.

Need more support? Work with your own coach or mentor to refine technique, stay accountable, and level up.

And the best part? The crew.

We train together, support each other, and celebrate every win — big or small.

Community. Inclusion. Progress.

That’s what we’re about. Your seat’s waiting.

We meet at a set virtual venue, and the coach coordinates a structured session designed to help you row with intent and improve over time. The power-to-weight system levels the playing field, with slower rowers setting off first and faster rowers chasing making it fun, fair, and motivating.
Track your progress on our leaderboard, race with your crew, and push yourself further every week. It's a brilliant mix of competition, community, and coaching support.

Train Smarter, Move Better, Go Further.
Great technique is crucial for rowing performance yet it’s often overlooked. At Blade Rowers, we don’t just build your engine, we refine the whole system.
Our 1:1 sessions are athlete focused from the start. Everyone moves differently, and many coaching approaches fail to consider individual movement patterns, limitations, or restrictions. That’s where we come in.
We start with a movement screening and performance testing to understand how you move, then tailor your training to improve not just output, but efficiency, control, and injury resilience.
We believe in working hard but also in moving better.
- More speed
- Fewer injuries
- Greater confidence on the erg and beyond
There are so many untapped ways to unlock performance and we’re here to help you find them. Enjoy the process. We love it, and we know you will too.
