I'd never been on a rowing machine before, and everything was explained thoroughly with an emphasis on form and fundamentals to help protect your body while getting in your workout.

​Definitely recommend!

Gave me a ton of instruction as a beginner and even stayed after class to answer my questions. ​

I had been curious about this class for a while but a bit intimidated to try it. I finally went for it and I’m glad I did.

Amazing instructor!! I haven’t rowed much before outside of a few workout classes, but she made me feel comfortable from the start. She was excellent at communicating the ways I could improve my form and I left class feeling confident I would improve over the next few classes. Would recommend this class to anyone!

Coach was very friendly and didn’t make you feel stupid when correcting form. Will absolutely be back and bring friends! She pushed you in a way that made you feel capable and not embarrassed. Thank you!

Rowing is all upper body, right?

Wrong.

Rowing is push through your legs - not a pull with your arms.
With proper form, you can work up to 86% of your muscles each stroke.

Starter pack - 3 for $39

It's what your fitness routine is missing.

A rowing workout that can challenge any fitness level

Low Impact

Easy on the joints, rowing is a life-long skill. An appealing  cross-training option for runners with impact injuries!

Functional Fitness

Learn to engage quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves, lats, abs, biceps, triceps, and your erector spine ​every stroke 

High Calorie Burn

Rowing already combines strength and cardio, making it one of the best ways to burn cals. And we added intervals.

Join Austin's top rowing studio

Learn to row, from a rowing studio. It's what we do.

Know before you Rō

​Can I take a Rō Fitness class with no rowing experience?

​YES! Every class can work for people of all experience and fitness levels. Your coach will show you proper form, and then the intensity will ramp up throughout the workout, while the coach gives you individual tips on how to improve the form and intensity of your workout.

What kinds of classes do you offer?

Rō Fitness offers three different kinds of classes:

• Cardio Rō is our classic high-intensity interval based class
• Long and Lō focuses on form and power with lower, meditative rates
• Sculpt and Rō is part cardio Rō, part off-machine strength exercises​

All classes use Concept2 Indoor Rowing machines -- only the best! 

What do I wear?

• Any athletic or running shoes will do!
• Clothing recommendations:
  • Fitted clothing - baggy clothes could get caught in the wheels of the seat
  • Layers (if it's cold) - you'll warm up quick
• And don't forget a water bottle!

Do you have showers I can use?

Rō Downtown has 10 showers, but requires a key to enter! Just tell an instructor after class and we'll give you a shower key.

Do you hold class outdoors off the Hike and Bike Trail?

Yes! We 'opt outside' at our Downtown location. 

​Waller Creek Boathouse is off the Hike and Bike Trail in Downtown ATX with unbeatable views. We set the machines outdoors on the balcony, overlooking the lake to enjoy the fresh air and views.

But sometimes, the weather makes us move inside. If it's raining or temps drops below 40 or above 95 degrees, we set up class inside the boathouse.

Two central Austin locations

Workout with Lady Bird Lake views at the Waller Creek Boathouse downtown,
or soon, at Castle Hill Fitness in historic Clarksville neighborhood.
