Virtual Group Winter Training & Technique

February 1 – March 12

Saturdays 7:30 – 8:45 AM and Wednesdays 6:00 – 7:15 PM (2 Days a Week Virtual, 1 OYO)

Winter training virtually allows you to stay connected with the group from the warmth of your home workout space. We stay connected during the week, discuss rowing technique and challenge each other during home workouts. There is the opportunity for regular erg technique video review based on participation. There will be 2 virtual sessions a week – 1 workout based and 1 covering technique review and discussion.

The goal of these sessions is to maintain or build a strong base of overall fitness, body awareness and community over the winter months as we work towards our 2025 on-water season, which we hope to start at the end of March weather permitting. Anyone interested in participating on the water with FVRA in 2025 is strongly encouraged to participate. Space is limited to 10 participants.
