How can we increase engagement with indoor rowing machines in gyms?

British Rowing, the governing body for all forms of rowing in the UK, chose us as their technology partner for a key indoor rowing initiative to increase participation in their sport.

Our wave

We created a product for indoor rowing machines within gyms, helping gym goers get more from their indoor rowing experience by delivering tailored workouts to target personal goals such as weight management, strength and conditioning and general fitness.

Our impact

During the 12 week pilot in Putney, we saw an increase in the number of workouts per week of 78% and an increase in engagement levels with average workout duration changing from 5 minutes in the first week to 8 minutes in the last.

With these positive results, we’ve been working with British Rowing to put the business case together, in order to raise funding to launch a commercial product on a wider scale.
