It covers the key principles of good movement and conditioning for rowers and how to apply them, directly relating these areas of development in the gym to performance on the water.

The workshop is currently being updated for delivery from Winter 2026. In the meantime you can read more about the benefits of land training, how to do it and the pitfalls to avoid, and get some key exercises recommended by GB Rowing Team coaches here on British Rowing Plus.
