Welcome to Rowing P.E.I.

Everyone is invited to be part of the first ever Indoor Rowing Day in Canada – Coast to Coast 2020 on Saturday February 22, 2020.

It’s free! If you are new to indoor rowing, or looking for a refresher, we will have coaches happy to help you get started.

This is a fun event where we are trying to log as many kilometres as possible between 9 a.m. and noon in every time zone across Canada! Everyone is welcome. No rowing experience needed.

Sign up now!! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a044caeaf2ba20-indoor

We are collecting kilometres on the indoor rowing machine between 9 a.m. and noon in every time zone on Saturday January 22, 2020. Our goal is to “row” from coast to coast. That’s 5,514 kilometres!

Here on P.E.I., we will be holding a group event at Synergy Fitness at The Mount. You can also row on your own machine and submit your kilometres for the P.E.I. tally!  We also welcome other gyms and fitness facilities to join us for Indoor Rowing Day. Send us an email to rowingpei@gmail.com to find out more.

No experience is needed and beginners are welcome! We will have coaches who can give you a free lesson if you are trying the rower for the first time.

The schedule is divided into 15 minute intervals but you are welcome to do more than one!

When you sign up, you will be asked for a Comment. Please note if you are with Rowing PEI, another gym or facility, or other.  If you are new, you can sign up for a free lesson and then go on a rower!

The event is free and we will have snacks and prizes.

 

***Bring a Buddy – if you are a Rowing PEI member, past or present, and bring a buddy or family member, your names will be entered in a special prize draw for two Coast to Coast buffs.

There will be other prizes draws open to everyone who attends!

For more information, you can text Nancy at 902-394-3297 or send an email to rowingpei@gmail.com.

Rowing is a great outdoor sport with fantastic scenery.  And it is considered one of the best workouts around!

“When we said full-body we weren’t kidding. There’s just no comparison to cardio exercise that only involves the lower body, such as biking, the elliptical machine, or running on a treadmill. This is a calorie-killing, efficient workout.”

If you are goal-oriented, there is also the opportunity for all ages to compete. We will have coached sessions to prepare crews for the Nova Scotia Sprints in mid-July 2020.

We will also host the Red Island Regatta at Brudenell, P.E.I. on Saturday August 22 and August 23, 2020.

Our coastal boats are made especially for the wind and wave conditions on the Harbour. We row out of the Charlottetown Yacht Club from May to October.

Cost of Learn to Row is $130

Learn to Row is your entry point to the wonderful sport of rowing! Whether you’re looking for a low impact, full body workout, a way to get out on the water, a chance to meet some great people or a combination, it all starts here.

No experience with water sports is needed and it is a great substitute for exercise after being in the gym all winter.
