Indoor rowing is great for people with physical disabilities.

Every day we are enjoying working out at the Iron Oarsman Rowing Studio.
For me it is great fun to meet new people who embrace the sport and become part of the rowing team.

Our atmosphere is very friendly and inclusive. Beginners feel part of the group as soon as the put their first step across the threshold of the I.O.

I am proud of the dedication our rowers have to stay fit and healthy for themselves but also for the people who love them.

Now, my goal is to broaden our group and inform future rowers with physical disabilities that rowing can be a sport they can practice and enjoy. Thanks to the “SLIDE” by concept2, we utilize exercises during which we only use one arm and one leg to row. This enhances better rowing technique. Therefore our rowing would be perfect for people who may not have the full function of one of their limbs.

So if you know of someone who has a physical disability, inform him or her that indoor rowing is an option (use of the slide is advised) for a great workout.

All the very best I wish you all
