What is Row31?

The original concept, developed in 2020, focused on eliminating the barriers to training that so many face. British Rowing wanted to make it as easy as possible for participants to stay active and motivated during January, as well as benefit from the boom in sales of indoor rowing machines during lockdown.

The idea is simple…a daily email sent every morning in January containing a workout video that participants can follow along to in their own time. With rest days built into the programme and live workouts for those who want to row with others, there was little excuse for not being active throughout the month.

Alongside the daily email there’s a Facebook community who share their daily workouts, chat about the sessions, and generally support and encourage each other throughout the month. If someone gets a bit behind or misses a workout, it’s no problem as the videos are accessible throughout the month for people to “catch up".

Why should you join Row31?

Indoor Rowing is a fantastic, low-impact form of exercise that uses over 85% of your body’s muscles. This year’s programme sticks to theme, with the daily emails, weekly live workouts and an ultimate goal to be active.
