Colleges
British Rowing is working closely with AOC (Association of Colleges) to encourage colleges and students to indoor row for their physical (and mental) health, as well as to gain valuable qualifications for future careers.
Go Row Indoor Workshop training for colleges
Go Row Indoor is supporting college fitness professional training providers to deliver a CIMPSA accredited workshop that will teach college student instructors how to deliver a world class indoor rowing offer simply and effectively.
The workshop is highly recommended for entrants into the AoC Sport Fitness Instructor Competition, in which indoor rowing is a key discipline. Workshops are delivered by a fully trained British Rowing Master Trainer and can be tailored to your college needs, taking account of class timetables, venue, and class size, equipment availability and delivery method (in-person or virtually).
We also offer a Go Row Indoor online workshop.
