Lifetime membership fee to our collective is a 2000m row @ maximum effort. Time and pace is irrelevant as long as you are honest about your effort.

Are you struggling to care for a loved one with a brain injury?
Come to the PAUL for Brain Recovery centre every Wednesday from 1-3pm where we will be holding family sessions for those of you who are supporting their loved one during their recovery.
We hope to see you there!
Although everything in indoor rowing is generally geared up towards the 2km, there is a place for longer & shorter TT’s in a program. ...how hard can 180 seconds of rowing be?...#concept2 #fitness #jdgym @Concept2UK @SBakerMD

Given the deadly damage to people & society, if sugar was any other chemical or food additive, it would have been banned decades ago.
It is a disgrace that the industry is allowed to prosper & influence govt policy through political donations while killing citizens

Training on an empty stomach (fasted state) can aid in weight loss. But if training for performance, a good quality breakfast could make all the difference!!! #fitness #nutrition
Today and yesterday’s training. Focus on speed and speed endurance. Aim to always make the last effort the fastest, to simulate the last split in a 2km tt. #concept2rowing #Indoorrowing #fitness #hull #jdgym
Tip #3....instead of doing longer pieces, beginners should utilise the interval function to row short distances and program in specific rest. Aim for 250m in less than a minute with a minute recovery #concept2 #Indoorrowing #NewYearNewYou #Health
No access to a rower today, but gotta start the #newyear off right! Sub 7 min 2km on the #ski-erg, followed by a #bulgarianbag circuit to “cool down”. @Concept2UK @Concept2MXMMA @CrossFitHull

The Concept2 Rower damper setting and drag factor: how should you be using them? What do they do?

Whilst I’m a big believer in a #lowcarb lifestyle, there is always room to fit in one of life’s little pleasures (especially in the holiday season)! #TrainHard #LiveWell #brunch #carbs
Tip #2...novice indoor rowers tend to set the drag factor to 10 in the mistaken belief that it corresponds to resistance. Every machine is different but generally it should be between 5-8, depending on how well looked after the erg is #concept2 #indoorrowing
Tip #1....Beginners tend to have a high stroke rate (>35 spm), focus on being more efficient by aiming for 20-25 spm but with more power. #erg #concept2 #indoorrowing #fitness
