Inclusive Fitness Solution
Row Club aims to make indoor rowing accessible to all, offering structured classes suitable for individuals of all fitness levels and rowing experience. This mirrors the inclusive models used by brands like Row House and Rowbots.
Low-Impact, Full-Body Workout
Indoor rowing provides an effective fitness solution that delivers a full-body workout with minimal impact, making it appealing to a broad audience seeking efficient fitness solutions.
Removing Barriers
By simplifying the entry into rowing through reduced financial commitments and streamlined techniques, Row Club makes rowing more accessible to beginners, seasoned athletes, and a variety of fitness enthusiasts.
Row Nation App: The app allows participants to access preset workouts and programs that can be synced with Concept2 PM5 monitors. It enables users to log and save workout data, share progress with others, and track performance over time. This enhances user engagement and creates a community-driven platform for motivation and connection.
Team Up Platform Class bookings are managed through the Team Up platform, not the Row Nation app. This system streamlines scheduling and bookings, reducing administrative burdens for clubs and ensuring operational efficiency.
Operational Efficiency The combination of the Row Nation app for workout tracking and the Team Up platform for managing bookings allows instructors to focus on delivering high-quality classes by minimizing administrative tasks.
Expanded Offerings: Introducing a variety of engaging classes, such as endurance-focused sessions, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and technique workshops, will attract a broader audience. Additionally, offering specialised and general 4- to 6-week programs targeting different fitness goals—such as beginner rowing, strength building, or cardio endurance—provides structured pathways for participants to stay committed and engaged over a longer period.
Program-Based Participation: By creating focused multi-week programs, clubs can offer tailored experiences that help participants progress through defined fitness milestones. This appeals to both new and seasoned rowers, offering clear, goal-driven opportunities for improvement.
Additional Revenue Streams: Clubs can generate revenue through class fees, class packages, and multi-week programs. Special events, workshops, and tailored programs can be offered at premium rates, providing another lucrative revenue stream alongside regular class offerings.
Equipment: Clubs will need Concept2 Rowing Machines equipped with PM5 monitors for accurate data tracking and seamless user experience.
Facility Requirements: Ensure the venue is comfortable and organised with proper lighting, airflow, and space for rowing machines. Consider adding enhancements like music or visual workout guidance to elevate the experience.
Technology Integration: Equip machines with phone cradles for participants to connect with the Row Nation app for workout guidance, progress tracking, and competition participation.

Key Considerations for Clubs
Drop-In Focus: Early on, drop-ins can be a significant revenue driver. Offering a lower-commitment option is appealing for people who want flexibility in trying out classes.
Class Packages: Provide incentives for frequent attendees through class packs (discount per class). Larger class packs (10–20) encourage repeat visits, which will also help build a regular clientele.
Transition to Memberships: After establishing a strong base with drop-ins and class packs, memberships can be introduced gradually as more participants commit to attending regularly.
Potential Strategies for Success
Introductory Offers: Run promotions (e.g., first class discounted or a free drop-in class) to attract more initial drop-in participants.
Incentivise Bulk Packages: Offer slight discounts for larger class packs to encourage participants to purchase more sessions upfront.
Community Building: Focus on fostering engagement and participant retention through special events, challenges, and social opportunities.
Promotion Strategies
Use social media, local outreach, and partnerships with local businesses to attract participants. Offer introductory offers like the first class free to encourage trials.
Community Engagement
Organise challenges, team competitions, and social events to foster a sense of belonging and enhance member retention.
Unified Marketing Strategy & Funding
Through the Ready Set Row initiative, Row Club benefits from a unified marketing strategy and funding that ensures consistent branding, promotional efforts, and materials across all clubs. This strategy will be developed and implemented alongside marketing materials, including digital campaigns, physical promotions, and tailored event strategies.
