Rowing Machine Workouts + Erg Training Plans: Get Stronger!

Features & Capabilities

Start Rowing is a comprehensive Chrome extension designed to help users at all fitness levels enhance their rowing machine workouts. Whether you are a beginner aiming to master the 2000-meter row in 8 weeks or an experienced erger looking to boost your strokes per minute and overall fitness, this extension provides structured training plans tailored to your needs.

The extension features beginner, intermediate, and advanced rowing plans that gradually increase in difficulty to safely build endurance and strength while minimizing injury risks. An audio coach guides you through each workout, indicating when to adjust intensity or rest. Users can create custom workouts, use a metronome for pacing, track progress through logged sessions, and take on challenges to push their limits. Start Rowing integrates seamlessly with Concept 2 rowing machines, making it suitable for home or gym use. Just 10-20 minutes twice a week can significantly improve your fitness and rowing skills.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's simplicity, guided workouts, and pacing aid for beginners, helping improve technique and fitness. However, many report audio glitches with the metronome and inconsistent timer sounds. The app lacks customization settings and instructional content, and the free version is very limited, pushing users to subscribe. Technical issues like crashes and progress loss frustrate users. Subscription price is considered high given limited progression plans. Overall, the app is effective but needs improvements in audio, customization, and content to enhance user experience.

Pros

Easy and straightforward interface suitable for beginners.
Provides guided workouts with pacing assistance, including a useful metronome feature.
Offers structured workout plans that help maintain motivation and consistency.
Visual display and workout customization options like duration, fitness level, and frequency.
Helps improve rowing technique and fitness over time, better than the basic rowing machine display.

Cons

Audio timer and metronome sounds have issues such as inconsistent timing, double clicks, and being too quiet.
Lack of settings to adjust the experience, including audio controls and no instructional videos on technique.
Limited free functionality; most features require a subscription.
App glitches and crashes, including getting stuck on countdowns and losing progress when exiting or switching apps.
Subscription model expensive relative to the amount of content and progression, with insufficient plan follow-ups.
