Aidan Sharpe

Fantastic total fitness workout with excellent coaching and a really great group atmosphere, pound for pound there is no better low impact -high intensity exercise than rowing which develops fitness, strength and stamina

Ian Loughlin

I started taking Mikes classes as i had some injuries from running so wanted to try to build core strength and get some fitness back and decided to give rowing ago after hearing good reports about it. Mikes classes are well structured and good fun. They last an hour with a mix of rowing and core exercises, you don’t notice the hour going by and get a great workout. Mike is a very attentive instructor and takes time to make sure your rowing technique is correct and also brings the class along together in the sessions. Classes are great fun, you’ll get a great workout, highly recommended.

I recently discovered Community Rowing in Greystones. As an active Masters Rower, I can feel the benefit of the Erg classes after only 5 classes! It’s also great fun. If you’re going to try one new thing this year to improve your strength and fitness, try this Yvonne Williams

Great way to exercise, love the class, Mike is a brilliant motivator.

Brighid Cullen

I row because I have always wanted to row. I love the feeling of belonging to a friendly group and, even though we row as individuals, we are together. Every evening, when I leave rowing, I feel I have achieved my best. There is a smile on my face. Rowing makes me happy.

Geraldine Potts

When I joined Community Rowing in 2023, I was looking for a way to increase my upper body strength. Turns out rowing is primarily geared towards working out your legs… I stuck with it because Mike’s a great instructor, keeps us all engaged with team challenges, relays, 2.5 minute planks, and a great playlist of course! There’s a great sense of camraderie and always some banter to enjoy. Nothing better than starting a Saturday morning with a class with Mike.

Testimonials

Brilliant classes - it really is a workout for everybody. There is a great atmosphere in the classes and Mike keeps it fresh by always changing up the workouts and the challenges. You'll sweat, you'll get strong, burn cals and make progress in a fun class with a nice crew and good tunes too. Added bonus - totally non-pretentious and non-intimidating atmosphere where literally everybody is welcome and encouraged. I can only give a massive thumbs up".

Yvonne Williams Neptune Rowing Club

"I joined Mikes rowing classes about 2 years ago as a way to keep fit. I had never done rowing before but Mike made the classes fun and his focus on technique for beginners ensured I got to grips with things quickly. His classes are a brilliant full body workout and the combination of individual and team rowing sessions keeps it really interesting. Highly recommend.!"
