Row, Core & More

  • Our classes cover a complete range of rowing skills and structured workouts. Sessions are varied, full-body, and adaptable for both beginners and experienced rowers across all fitness levels.

  • Most people join without any rowing experience - or after a long break from exercise. With personalised 1:1 coaching and a vibrant, supportive atmosphere, you’ll feel like part of the crew before you know it!
    If you’d prefer a private introduction beforehand, just get in touch.

  • Hone your technique, refine your rhythm, and push your pace and power. Each session helps you progress towards your personal goals with targeted coaching and structured challenges.

  • Every class highlights a different technical element - core engagement, rhythm, leg drive, and more. You’ll learn how to maintain strong form through changes in speed and intensity so you can row smarter, safer, and more efficiently.

  • From long, steady endurance pieces to short, high-rate power intervals (and everything in between), you’re in control. Adjust your machine as needed and work at a level that feels right for you.

  • We don’t stay seated for the whole hour! Rowing blocks are combined with bodyweight movements designed to complement your technique, strengthen key muscle groups, and target the final 15% that rowing alone doesn’t hit. Every class includes a complete warm-up, plus mobility and stretching to finish.

  • Book your seat now and discover just how much fun a rowing machine can be!

Full-body, varied intensity classes (options given) to build power, fitness & muscle tone & feel great! Group Classes at Kingston Rowing Club and Twickenham Rowing Club.

  • Your coach, Su, is an experienced rowing coach and personal trainer. She’ll teach you proper rowing technique, just like rowing on the water, with a strong focus on posture and core engagement.


  • Classes gradually build your cardiovascular fitness while Su offers personalised 1:1 coaching to help you get the most from your workout. Upbeat music keeps the energy high, and bodyweight exercises complement the rowing stroke, targeting muscles rowing alone doesn’t.

  • The focus is on enjoying fitness while learning new skills and making new friends. After class, everyone is warmly invited to stay for a cuppa and a chat, a great way to connect and build community.

Introw

‘Introw’ is for those who have never been on a rowing machine before, but would like to explore more technical coaching. It is an ideal introduction to rowing on the water as the same technique is used.

No rowing or base fitness level is required and any type of rowing machine (erg) is fine. As long as you can sit, hold a handle and listen to some instruction, you can row!

Reviews

  • “Susan's classes are a great way to improve your technique on an erg, and, because you can go at your own pace, it doesn't matter if you a beginner or Sir Steve Redgrave, it's up to you what you want to put in and get out of it. Easy to join in any time.

    I think it's great the range of ages that attend the class, so inclusive, and focus on technique means you stop focusing on those times and personal bests and just sink into it. You notice then that the times come after that without chasing them. Ironically, i think rowing is a great way to switch off and relax. “

    — Matt, 46

  • “I have always been very active enjoying over the years a variety of physical activities playing football at a professional club, squash, and cycling. But as the years progressed I needed something that provided a whole body exercise. 18 months ago I found indoor rowing fitted the bill. However, with ageing limbs I needed to row correctly not as experienced in a gym.
    Susan introduced me to the correct technique but more importantly her classes are tailored to meet the aspirations of each individual in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.”

    — Nigel, 80

  • “I’ve been doing Susan’s Fluid Fitness classes for nearly a year and did rowing for a year before lockdown. Susan is a natural instructor who has the knack of making you feel at ease while pushing you to your personal best without you noticing!

    I always look forward to going to her sessions.The park classes are good mix of floor, standing and moving exercises. The whole body is targeted. The rowing classes are a great workout and really worked my abdominal muscles.I feel much better and fitter when I am able to do her classes.”

    — Mary, Teddington

  • “Susan is a brilliant trainer, she has the right balance of toughness and enthusiasm and has really motivated me in the achievement of my fitness goals. Her sessions are adaptable to your individual fitness levels and I’m always devastated if I have to miss one of them.

    I’d highly recommend her – much better value for money than going to the gym.”

    — Jo, 54

  • “I have been going to Fluid Fitness’ indoor rowing class at Kingston Rowing club for a while now and I absolutely love. Susan is a great instructor and I have finally discovered an exercise that I actually like.

    I would highly recommend this class to anyone.”

    — Karen

  • “Your classes are a great balance between challenging and fun - new year’s resolution to make one session every week and who knows sub 8:30?!?”

    — Heidi
