Well, guys, you’ve heard us wax lyrical for years about the benefits of rowing, especially its incredible rehab potential. But don’t just take our word for it. Listen to one of our delighted Crew Classers:
“I can’t recommend this rowing class highly enough. I joined six weeks ago, attending twice a week, with the goal of strengthening my glutes in advance of a scheduled replacement knee surgery. Since taking up rowing, the strength and flexibility I’ve gained have made such a difference that I have cancelled the surgery. I genuinely didn’t think something so enjoyable could have such a big impact.
The classes are a great balance of challenging and fun. Niall and Olly make every session motivating, supportive, well-paced and good craic. There’s always great energy and a great atmosphere as everyone works together. Every week, I can feel myself getting stronger. I am more energised and my fitness levels have improved far more than I expected in such a short time.
If you’re looking for something that delivers results, keeps you engaged, and makes you look forward to working out, this is it. If you’re thinking about it, just do it!”
What makes this story even more inspiring is that this Crew Classer is 65 years young with no major sporting background. Aside from some school sports, she hadn’t trained regularly in decades — and yet she has found a completely new lease of life through rowing.
At Crew Class, we pride ourselves on being the most inclusive workout in Dublin. Anyone, regardless of experience, can train alongside a three-time Olympian and multiple former high-performance athletes.
The rowing machine is exceptionally effective for older adults because it is both low-impact and full-body. It’s gentle on the joints — unlike running — while still providing excellent upper- and lower-body engagement. And best of all, you can choose exactly how hard you want to work
So if you’re feeling intimidated or hesitant because of your lack of sporting experience, don’t be. We already have several members with knee and hip replacements who thrive in our sessions. So no matter your skill level, there will always be a place for you at Crew Class.
