Course Content
What You'll Cover
Learn why the ergometer is one of the most effective training tools available, how to set it up correctly for any participant, and how to identify and correct the most common technical flaws. You'll develop the coaching language and drills to make great technique stick.
Build the skills to design and deliver your own workouts - from individual sessions to group formats - that produce safe, effective, and measurable outcomes for your clients.
Discover how to create an environment where clients stay engaged and keep showing up. You'll learn goal-setting frameworks, progress tracking methods, and practical strategies to keep motivation high over the long term.
Indoor rowing performance starts before the session. This module covers fuelling and recovery strategies - practical nutrition knowledge to support the best outcomes for your athletes.
