## What is asensei rowing?

Workout with your Concept 2, Rogue Echo, WaterRower or FluidRower rowing machine. Be guided by world-class athletes and instructors. Follow structured training programs to improve yourself and your times or just choose your own workout. asensei customizes challenges to meet your capability and pushes you to your potential.

asensei rowing guides and monitors your practice on and off your rowing machine. Hundreds of workouts, no need to plan - get a recommendation every time!  Structured programs - build strength and fitness alongside skill and technique as you are guided, monitored and corrected by great coaches assisted by your personal AI coach, asensei.

asensei rowing talks to the monitor on your rowing machine, analyzes your performance and uses that to inform your practice. Are you losing power at higher stroke rates? Are you losing length when you’re tired? Do you find it hard to hold lower stroke rates consistently? Are you rushing the recovery? Compensating for poor leg drive with over-use of your arms?

asensei knows. And she’ll be sure to let you know.

Practice. Perfected.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

“I was fortunate enough to have great coaches from the very beginning of my rowing career. This meant I wasn’t taking thousands of bad rowing strokes, ingraining bad habits. The potential for asensei to provide quality feedback before bad habits are formed is really exciting", Helen Glover, 2x Olympic Gold Medallist and World #1 Rower.

"Just when you thought (sports) technology couldn't get any cooler, along comes asensei", CBS Television

"... the next frontier in the fitness tech revolution ... a wildly ambitious goal ... able to guide you through everything from form and recovery to metrics and goals while improving your individual results ... future of personal training", Men's Health

Here's what users had to say:

"someone keeping an eye on you the whole time is really cool because ... it keeps you honest, keeps you on track in a way that I don't think a coach normally can unless you are doing a one on one session, so it was the benefit of a one on one, with the class dynamic, which I really like!"

"It's a cool product. I've never ever seen anything like that. In 5 minutes I learned how to row, I thought I was doing it right, but I wasn't"

"(asensei) said don't worry there's a bunch of exercises I'm going to give to you afterwards that are going to help you on that. ... that's amazing. ... this is not just about now, it's like building a relationship."

### 5/5 — The best rowing app

*2026-08-11, version 1.21.0*

This is a must have for anyone who enjoys rowing but needs a little extra push. The coaching is great and keeps the workouts interesting and keeps me motivated to keep going. This app has dramatically improved my rowing for CrossFit and helps me stay in shape on my off days. Highly recommend coach Johan’s workouts! I also love his short 15 minute workouts and recovery workouts for my days “off”.

### 5/5 — Notes from a newbie

*2026-02-18, version 1.21.0*

I’m not unfit but have never rowed before and have been slacking on the cardio side for a while. I purchased a fluid rower and downloaded Asensei after doing a little research. I love the app and the instructor led workouts. It has transformed my experience of rowing and given me a real data led focus to help me improve form, fitness and performance.

### 5/5 — The best rowing app

*2026-02-16, version 1.21.0*

This is a must have for anyone who enjoys rowing but needs a little extra push. The coaching is great and keeps the workouts interesting and keeps me motivated to keep going. This app has dramatically improved my rowing for CrossFit and helps me stay in shape on my off days. Highly recommend coach Johan’s workouts!

### 5/5 — From basic to advanced

*2026-02-05, version 1.21.0*

Great rowing app for beginners and experienced. 

Covers the basics well, and how to get the MAXIMUM power from your strokes. 

Going fast isn’t all about power, Asensei shows you where to find efficiency savings which gives you more speed with the same effort. They cover the technique really well. 

It’s helped me enormously with my fitness over the last 3 years. 

Numerous coaches and countless workouts. This app adjusts your training based on you past performance. It really does get the best out of you and knows when to ask you for more. 

Love it.

### 1/5 — UX/UI is useless

*2026-02-04, version 1.21.0*

Urgent UX/UI update needed. It’s so frustrating not being able to watch videos without connecting your device to the rowing machine. The instruction video on how to connect your device keeps running forever, and there’s no way to skip it and get to the actual content.

### 1/5 — Unfriendly application

*2026-01-07, version 1.21.0*

Very difficult to work with this application

### 5/5 — I LOVE this app

*2026-01-03, version 1.21.0*

UPDATE: Been using this for multiple years now. Still find it super valuable and motivating. Coach Johan Quie is fantastic.  I haven’t hesitated to renew.                                                     Original Review: Brand new to rowing. I tried a couple of different apps and locked in on this one. It’s got an awesome variety of workouts from instructional to straight up tough workouts. The personalization keeps me from slacking off and the music keeps me pumped. You can’t help but get fit and improve your performance with this app. Plus I love the weekly update blogs/emails and they keep adding new content. 10 stars. Excellent value

### 5/5 — Awesome app and coaching

*2025-12-30, version 1.21.0*

I’ve been working with asensei for over 3 years and loving it

### 5/5 — They care

*2025-12-28, version 1.21.0*

This is an amazing app.  We have a group of people that actually care about both rowing and their customers. Do not hesitate to download.

### 5/5 — Data-driven erging

*2025-12-01, version 1.20.5*

Great app that allows structured and deliberate improvement in skill. I found especially helpful since I had no experience with erging. Stand-alone workouts as well as multi-week programs with focus on technique and continuous improvement. Strongly recommend!
