Fantastic experience: Love, love, LOVE Capitol Row! Erging gives you such a good workout, but it's hard to stay motivated on your own. These guys know how to keep you engaged and can personalize your training to give you an overall workout or help you build up to race day as a rower. I highly recommend them for serious rowers and anyone else who wants to maximize their workout time!

Fantastic experience: Capitol Row became one of my favorite new work outs after the first time I tried it! As a Physical Therapist, I am always looking for new ways to work out, and looking for ways for all my clients to safely work out. This really is a class for everybody! I am also the mom to a 3 and 1 year old, and this class has helped me gain my strength back after having babies. I used rowing as cross training to run my first half marathon this year! Great work out, great staff, highly recommend!
