Classes will start next week… Tuesday January 11th at the Warehouse at 7:15am AND Saturday’s at 8am!!!

On the Inside Looking Out: How to Use Indoor Cycling to Become a Better Outdoor Cyclist
Published in City Sports Washington and City Sports Florida, March, 2000, then later in City Sports and Competitor California.
I can totally relate to this article from my own training when I completed my first Ironman in Nice, France in 2008 and my second Ironman in Florianopolis, Brazil in 2009. Approximately 90% of my cycling training was on the Spinning bike! Also, while training at Cal Berkeley on the Men’s Varsity Crew Team a group of us took up cycling as a perfect way to cross-train for rowing.
Jake Wetzel, my former teammate at Berkeley, was recruited to row from the Canadian National Cycling Team and several years later ended up winning several Olympic Medals in rowing, Silver Medal in 2004 Athens, and a Gold Medal in 2008 Beijing. He explained to all of us that throughout his childhood and training as a cyclist, it was a direct cross-over to rowing. This was a testament that cycling does in fact contribute to the leg power that you use when rowing. Cycling along with Rowing is yet another low-impact sport that you can do your whole life.-Jack Nunn
The Long Beach Jr. Rowing Team will be holding a Fundraiser Ergathon at the Boathouse on Saturday November 20th. Our Saturday Boathouse classes at 10:00 and 11:00 AM will be moved to the Warehouse on that date. That change is for this coming Saturday, November 20th ONLY.

Tired of the same-old solitary workout? Perhaps it’s time to try something new. A group class can reinvigorate your workout by motivating you to push through a fitness plateau or inviting you to join the camaraderie of kindred spirits. If you’re ready to join the fun, then a rowing class is a perfect solution.
