ErgFit Sessions
ErgFit sessions are back!! KCRC will be offering ErgFit classes for youth ages 14-18 on M/W/Th from 6-7pm through December and January! ErgFit will be a combination of erging, weights, and cross-training. If you’re looking to build your strength and stamina in a fun way, then ErgFit will be a great addition to your weekly workout routine. Or if you’re not able to make your normal rowing session in the AM, drop into an ErgFit class!
No KCRC membership required but rowers must be a member of US rowing and indicate KCRC as one of their clubs. Members will be able to purchase the Fitness Punch Card ($15) located in the iCrew Club store. Once purchased, you can drop into any ErgFit or similar session.
How to use Punch Card:
To use the punch card, go to “Sessions” and find the specific ErgFit you want to drop into, then select “Drop In”. Please indicate your attendance by 10am the day of practice, so that coaches can create coaching plans. Prior to ErgFit starting, please open iCrew on your mobile device and “Check In” to practice as you normally do. This debits your punch card balance.

KCRC is excited to offer a Youth Rowing Program at the Kenmore Public Boathouse during the summer months for both rowers ages 13-18. Our programming ranges from Learn to Row classes, introducing new rowers to the sport, to skills clinics and conditioning programs for more experienced athletes.
