What the Row Nation rowing app is for
Row Nation is a fitness app built around the rowing machine, aimed at a full-body workout that can be done at home or at a gym. The developer says it is meant to make the machine usable for people with no rowing background as well as experienced rowers.
Its core is a library of on-demand workouts from different content creators. Users pick a session by type, such as endurance, strength or intervals, and the listing says the types go beyond these three.
Video and audio rowing workouts
Each workout comes in one of three forms: a video to follow along with, a video that opens with an introduction and description, or an audio-only version for when a screen is not practical. The format is chosen per workout, so a user can switch between them from one session to the next.
Premium features are sold through a subscription, and the listing mentions a free trial before that. The workout library itself is the part the listing describes as the centre of the app.
Logging rowing sessions and syncing a PM5
Completed workouts can be saved to a log, which the listing says lets users see their progress over time. The log is where a rower would review past sessions.
The app syncs with the Concept 2 PM5 performance monitor and with other fitness tracking devices, so data from the machine and from wearables can sit in the same place.
Clubs, shared workouts and rowing events
Users can connect with other users, join clubs and share their own workouts. This is the social side of the app, and it sits alongside the solo workout library.
The event feature lists competitions, classes and other events, both in person and virtual. Users can find an event there and register for it inside the app.
