THE PERFECT COMBINATION -
I have worked out inside NYC Equinoxes, and Soulcycles as well as the at home digital memberships, and the economy gyms (Ive literally searched high and low for something that felt right) ... what I absolutely love about CityROW is that (to me) you find a sweet spot. They have a perfect combination of clean and modern, challenging and refreshing workouts as well as void of the portentous gym types!
I have taken classes at different studios and the Boca Raton location is great! You quite literally see Dan (the owner) live the CITYROW Ethos, (if you don't believe me check his Finisher numbers on the board each month)!
IF YOU'VE NEVER BEEN ON A ROWER BEFORE - Just try it! What do you have to lose? Other than 50 mins of your day. You will learn proper form, especially if you come early, the instructors will show you! And, you will forever recognize and understand how the WaterRowers work.
IF YOU "HATE WORKING OUT" - Hi! We are a lot alike, (my most natural state is sleeping) but with that said... CityROW signature class STILL to this day is the ONLY group fitness class that I have every really enjoyed. (Ive tried spin, yoga, palates, the works!) I have been to classes at a few locations, and can say with confidence that it is the combination of floor work and rowing that helps break up that time, as well as the music and energetic instructors that hep you over the hump! As soon as I felt like I was ready to give up, we moved to a the rower again, or onto the mat. Signature Classes were the gateway drug. Strength class is for anyone who enjoys weights/challenging themselves!
IF YOU AREN'T A GROUP JOINER - (Same) Problem solved, reserve a rower at the back, or side of the class. You don't need to be up front and center to get a workout in. Drew likes to remind you that "Its your workout, there is no shame in your game".
IF YOU DON'T LOVE CARDIO - Take a strength class, I have done almost 40 classes with Drew. A LOT more weights and floor work.
They run a lot of promotions and my first class was free, I then followed up with a few more, and now I do a monthly membership and go twice a week. I'm about about 50 mins away, but make it a priority to go. You can choose what weights you use throughout the class, and the great thing about using WaterRowers is that you set your resistance. Throw your Finisher times on the board, or just take notes for yourself and see if you can make or break that time. read more
