Build power, stay injury-free, and move better with personal training designed to support your rowing.

Weightlifting in Gym

Who this is for

Whether you row competitively, recreationally, or you’re getting back into it after time away, the right gym work can help you feel stronger on the water, recover better, and reduce the niggles that hold you back.

This is for rowers who want to:

  • Build strength and power for better performance

  • Improve mobility and posture

  • Reduce back, hip, shoulder or knee niggles

  • Feel more confident in the gym

  • Train around rowing without overdoing it

  • Get stronger without guessing what to do

What we focus on

Strength for rowing


Legs, hips, posterior chain, core and upper body strength to help you produce more force.

Mobility and movement quality
Improving the positions you need for rowing, especially through the hips, spine and shoulders.

Injury resilience
Building capacity in the areas rowers commonly struggle with: lower back, ribs, shoulders, knees and hips.

Training balance
Making sure your gym work supports your rowing, rather than adding more fatigue for the sake of it.
