Hi! I’m Pip.

I’m your rowing coach. I talk you through every row, so your eyes stay up and your phone stays face down.

Ask me anything.

What’s a row with you like?

Pip

Like this. A whole row, and you never have to look at your phone:

  1. Whenever you’re ready.The row starts on your first stroke.
  2. Let’s go. You’ve got this.I call every change, so you know what’s next.
  3. Halfway. Keep it steady.A word when it helps.
  4. You’re in front now.If you’re racing your last row, I tell you who leads.
  5. All done. Nice work making time for yourself.Then your splits and your progress are waiting.

I only talk when there’s something to say. Quiet, Normal or Chatty: you choose.

What can you do?

Pip

Quite a lot! Here’s what’s in the boat:

  • Ascending ladder20 min

Rowing bores me.

Pip

Fair. So let’s make it a race. You against your last time:

Race your last time+12 m
You
Last timeYou
You’re in front now.

You can switch it on for any workout you’ve done before.

And every row helps me grow up. I start small:

  • Pup
  • Kit
  • Young
You keep coming back. He’s earned his headband.I grow as you keep rowing. It’s about showing up, never about speed.

Can you help my technique?

Pip

I can see the shape of every stroke. One tip at a time:

Stroke shapeLegs first. Nice.Push with the legs before the arms pull

This one needs a Concept2 PM5. It’s the rower that tells me how hard you pull through the stroke.

Will it work with my rower?

Pip

Probably! Here’s what I get along with:

  • Concept2 PM5Over Bluetooth
  • Bluetooth FTMS rowersMost smart rowers
  • Heart-rate strapsAny Bluetooth strap
  • Demo rowerBuilt in, for trying me out
