About the sport of rowing

RowPittsburgh offers a variety of rowing programs designed to meet varying needs, from the beginner to elite competitor.
 
Rowing requires the use of all muscle groups, serving as a perfect conditioner without shock to the joints. While the common belief is that rowing requires great upper body strength, what really matters is core strength. Power is transferred from the legs through the torso, to the arms that control the oars in the water and move the boat.
