Rō Fitness — Local services in Austin

I am coming up on my two year Rō anniversary, having never really even considered rowing previous to my first "Intrō to Rō" class in July of 2021. Never previously rowed on a machine nor in a boat. Since my first class I've been attending classes about 3 times per week on average. On top of surpassing my fitness goals in record time, and discovering how strong I actually am, I'm most grateful for the community that Rō Fitness offers.

What a great place to get an upbeat, fun and most importantly demanding workout! I had never done any sort of rowing exercise prior to coming here and I have got to say its one of my favorite ways to workout now. Rowing machines also make it so that people of all fitness levels can enjoy a good workout, plus the instructors are incredibly helpful and accommodating making sure you feel comfortable throughout the class (book a session with Brooke for extra positivity and pep). The view overlooking the lake isn't bad either which makes getting up early at the crack of dawn a bit easier. Rotating workout focuses keep the classes fresh and interesting as well. I recommend signing up for the free week trial (Austin residents only) to...
