1:1 ROWING COACHING — DA NANGSEP 15 – NOV 15
Your Hyrox row
is leaking seconds.
We’ll find them.
One-on-one Concept2 coaching for Hyrox athletes training in Da Nang. Fix the stroke, build the engine, race the row instead of surviving it.
THE PROBLEM
You row like someone who picked it up in a class warm-up — not someone a battle-tested coach actually trained.
Most Hyrox athletes treat the rower as a rest between runs and stations. It isn’t. The 1,000m row sits at the race’s halfway point, arriving right after the Burpee Broad Jumps, on a damper preset to resistance 6 — and it’s the one station almost nobody gets coached on properly. Bad sequencing, a back that does all the work, a stroke rate that’s high because it feels productive instead of fast — these cost you real time and they don’t show up until race day, under fatigue, when it’s too late to fix.
WHAT 1:1 COACHING CHANGES
Three things change. All three show up in your time.
A faster row, on the day it counts.
We work your stroke until the power comes from your legs and hips in the right order, not your arms and lower back fighting the handle. That sequencing is where seconds-per-500m actually live. Athletes we’ve worked with this way typically see their row split drop noticeably within a few sessions — and just as important, that split holds deep into the race instead of falling apart in the back half.

The erg becomes a training tool, not a punishment.
Used right, the Concept2 is one of the most precise aerobic-capacity tools available — every stroke gives you exact, repeatable data on pace, power, and heart rate response, with none of the variables you get from running outdoors. Used wrong, it’s just 20 minutes of suffering with nothing to show for it. We build you a real base: structured pieces, correct heart rate zones, and pacing discipline, so the engine you build on the erg actually transfers to your running and your stations instead of just making you tired.

A stroke that doesn’t quietly break your lower back.
Rowing is low-impact, right up until it isn’t — most erg-related back and hip pain comes from a sequencing fault, not from rowing itself: shooting the slide, opening the back too early, gripping the handle wrong. None of that hurts in week one. It hurts in week six, usually right before a race. We catch and correct those patterns early, so volume builds capacity instead of building an injury.

HOW IT WORKS
One athlete. One erg. One coach watching every stroke.
Baseline & stroke breakdown
We film and break down your current stroke, pull your baseline splits and pacing data, and find the one or two faults costing you the most time and the most strain.
Rebuild the sequence
Drill-based work to retrain the leg-hip-arm sequence at low intensity, then layer pace back in once the new pattern holds under load.
Build the engine
Structured aerobic and race-pace pieces on your training plan, programmed around your Hyrox training block, not generic erg workouts pulled off the internet.

YOUR COACH
Coached by someone who has spent more hours on this machine than almost anyone in Da Nang.
I rowed varsity at Yale and hold two Concept2 world records. I coach the erg specifically — not as a sideline to general personal training, but as the main event. If your row is the weak link in your Hyrox time, this is the most direct fix available to you while I’m on the ground in Da Nang. I also run group classes for Hyrox and CrossFit boxes if your gym wants this work built into your regular programming.
