Row Forge

Having struggled to find engaging workouts, I was fortunate to find Row Forge with its solid list of interesting workouts. I love that the app adjusts targets based on benchmark tests to keep you coming back and pushing yourself. I have seen real growth in my power and overall speed, developed through differing focus workouts. I also love the Viking/ Norse mythology in the work out descriptions. Thanks team, awesome work!

Amazing workouts designed based on the users own ability and VO2 max rating. Supported by science and Dr Kenneth Jay workouts to improve fitness.

RowForge at the moment will be immediately cancelled, if there is no way to connect my Echelon Rower. If there is another remedy please advise. Disappointed!

Doesn't allow for Polar H10 connection to the app nor for Apple Health to rite data (like HR) into the app. So, this does not capture HR data like it should.

I have been using Row Forge for the last month or so and I have to say, the results have been outstanding! After testing all of the areas from 100m to “The Hour of Power” you can see the specific area needed to improve specific distances or timed rows. You use a few of the many varieties of workouts to focus on that specific area and then after 4-6 weeks working on that area, retest and see your progress. The conditioning plan helps get new rowers familiar with form and technique over a 6 week period, rowing 5,000m 4 times a week to gradually work towards overall fitness and health. If you’re looking for HIIT training there are those as well. The program is completely unique to you, based on your personal profile. It’s incredible and challenges you every workout to improve. Definitely recommend this app to rowers of all caliber!!

Excellent workout routines in this app. A workout for all levels of rowing. Tap. Row. Go it’s that easy.

UPDATE: Just wanted to reiterate how awesome this app is. It is a self-contained personalized system for maximizing your rowing ability but (MUCH) more importantly- your heart health. By following the mesocycle principles you basically set yourself up for perpetual Improvement, as the app (via your power profile) will show where your strengths and weakness lie across the performance spectrum. It’s brilliant and elegantly simple but brutal all at the same time. The Row Forge team has always been responsive to my inquiries and super helpful as well. Original review follows: I love this app, I've followed Dr Jay since the RKC days and its great to see the evolution of his research especially since I love rowing anyway! There are plenty of row apps out there but I've never seen one that customizes your targeted watts etc to have you properly chase goals and then it automatically moves your goals for maximum progress. Progressive overload principles executed perfectly! CEO is super responsive to questions which is a big plus! I wish there was a manual explaining how to best use the program and some of the specific principles being used and targeted. I have the cardio code book so I have a general idea but I'd be interested to better understand the most current training philosophy and how to most optimally use the app. But even without that into it's still absolutely fantastic and highly motivating. SKAL!"

I have never once taken the time to comment on an app but decided to for Row Forge. The program is excellent and has allowed me to get in shape on my own without a trainer. I highly recommend their personalized training system.

I like the new update, it was getting a bit buggy but the update seems to have fixed it.

Very good app
