Row Nation Premium Programmes
Video row-alongs with Australian rowers. Structured coaching. Real progress.
If you want training that actually moves the needle, Row Nation Premium is built for you. Each programme is delivered through video row-alongs featuring Australian rowers, combined with steady base sessions and short off-erg mobility or strength so you improve without burning out.
Choose from four six-week tracks. Each has three sessions a week and one clear finish line. Different goals, different people, same proven RowErg engine.
Four programmes. Four clear pathways.

What you get each week
- Row-along: coach guidance, pacing, intervals, repeatable progress
- Steady row: base building with simple technique cues
- Mobility or strength: 10 to 12 minutes, just bands or bodyweight
Every week builds toward your test. You’ll know what you’re doing, why it matters, and how you’re improving.
Choose the right programme for your life
- New or returning? Start with Foundations & Flow (add Technique First later for skill blocks).

- Rate (R): strokes per minute. Learn at R18 to 24 and push when you’re ready.
