Juniors
Junior Learn to Row Course
We welcome juniors between 13-18 years and at all levels of fitness and you don’t need any rowing experience. On the course we’ll teach you about rowing technique on a rowing machine and then introduce you to the boats and get you out on the water pretty quickly (subject to weather and river conditions). You’ll row with different people each week and there will always be a coach and a coaching launch out on the water with you.
Parents of juniors help us run the sessions. You will be fully briefed by the junior coaching team and of course will be required to go through all the necessary checks.
The programme is currently full, to join the waiting list and for more information please contact.

Go Row Indoor Rowing Classes
A British Rowing initiative for those interested in getting fitter on land. These rowing machine classes cater to all ages and fitness levels, providing a full-body workout similar to spin classes but low-impact and easy to learn. While Olympians use these machines to train, the classes are also ideal for those less active due to injury or health issues, and beneficial for people identified as pre-diabetic or preparing for surgery. It’s a fun way to get fit, stay healthy, and meet new people.
Weekly classes available at £6.00 per session:
- Monday: 11:00-11:45
- Thursday: 17:00-17:45
- Saturday: 11:30-12:15 (from 9th November)
