Dark Horse Rowing

At Dark Horse Rowing, we believe everyone can excel at their chosen pursuit of fitness and they deserve support, a community, and the tools to help them get there. We do this by un-complicating rowing, building an online community of support, and make our workouts usable with other programs, simple to understand, and mobile accessible. Dark Horse Rowing is both a program and a coaching tool to improve performance for rowing. The workouts are app based, updated automatically, and allow for workout tracking. All drills are shown in video and through written points of performance. Dark Horse Rowing was made for non-rowers who use rowing in their training and want to de-mystify the movement or simply get faster.
