Adult winter indoor workouts

Every December, the Dayton Boat Club begins its indoor training using rowing machines called ergometers to build strength, speed and endurance. New members are welcome and encouraged to join during the winter; besides being a great workout, it’s an opportunity to learn the mechanics of rowing before starting on the water.

An indoor rowing course is offered Feb. 29 through March 5, 2020, at the downtown Dayton YMCA, 316 N. Wilkinson St.:

• 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 29
• 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 2
• 6:45 p.m. Thursday, March 5

Cost for the course is $35 per person. To register, fill out the form below and pay the fee online.

If you'd like to join the club for winter workouts, get in touch with the adult program coordinator. 

• Practices: Four days per week; participants who plan to compete are encouraged to attend at least three workouts per week
• Cost for the whole season: $300 for December through March

New winter workout participants are welcome to join the masters competition team after taking the learn-to-row class and rowing a season with the novice team.

This video is out of date (it promotes a 2017 program), but it's full of good reasons to start rowing indoors this winter. For information, contact the adult program coordinator.
