We use "MINDBODY Virtual Wellness" as our current platform for our private coaching sessions. You can go to our sign up page, then book time with one of our rowing experts through this platform.

How much does it cost?

Our current rate is $49 for a 30-minute session, which includes time for form analysis, technique instruction, and goal review. An additional email with your session takeaways and next steps is also included as a follow-up to the session. Our rate for our more comprehensive 3 session Journey is $139.

Can someone else join or share my session?

No, we welcome athletes of all skill and experience levels, and our coaches are here to help you from your first meter to your millionth.
