Whatever level of fitness you start with, his workouts gradually push you a little harder without you realising it ! No rah rah fake hype, just relaxed consistent training. Best rowing app I’ve found. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-09-30* I got a Concept2 rower a few weeks ago (after a lot of deliberation and research), and I am new to rowing. I did the Intro to Rowing series and some other workouts on the app, and I am so grateful for having this! It has taught me proper rowing technique and I’m loving the rower! I appreciate Austin’s coaching style - he breaks everything down, is motivating. I like that there are series of rowing programs rather than just individual, random workouts. It allows you to progress in an organized, incremental way and continue to be challenged. ### 5/5 — Gets you moving! *2024-09-07* Austen is such a fantastic coach. Whatever level of fitness you start with, his workouts gradually push you a little harder without you realising it ! No rah rah fake hype, just relaxed consistent training. Best rowing app I’ve found. ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2024-07-25* I have been using Just Row for several years now, and I love that I can find super hard workouts, easy workouts and everything in between, depending on what I am looking for. I love that I can do bodyweight workouts, rowing challenges, stretches, this app covers everything! Austin is an incredible, encouraging and intuitive coach. I have worked with him on a couple of challenges, and I enjoy his way of motivating me to do my very best. I also love that I can be doing a rowing challenge and laughing at the same time while working out, Austin has a way of making things fun! ### 5/5 — Just Row *2024-04-18, version 8.500.1* I’ve been following along to Austin’s rowing programs for about 6 months. He is a great mix between improving your form and endurance but while also being light hearted and goofy. Thanks so much for your effort in creating so much content. Great stuff. ### 5/5 — Fun and motivating *2024-04-05, version 8.500.1* Truly enjoying Just Row. I worked through many of the YouTube workouts that are posted. I got to a level where I wanted more challenging workouts, so I subscribed to Just Row. I’m glad I subscribed because there are many, many workouts on Just Row ranging from mellow to challenging. The workouts on Just Row are arranged in sets of workouts; workouts are arranged in series of workouts that cover multiple weeks. I like working out to a program. I like knowing that I have longer term row goals organized this way. I like Austin’s constant talking, it helps keep me going. ### 5/5 — Good *2024-02-29, version 8.200.1* I like it. I was using the free you tube videos but I like to playlists with organized progressive workouts. So far so good. ### 5/5 — I’m back! *2023-12-30, version 8.200.1* These workouts have helped me find myself again. I used to row in high school and university and fell out of it as I started working and growing a family. I’m a 45 year old mom and I bought a Concept 2 a few months ago on a whim. Slowly got back into better shape and then k found your workouts! I love this app and all of the variety on it. Great price, great workouts, great coaching. Thank you! Would be awesome to see some longer workouts in here too. 40min+ Like a head race! ### 5/5 — Totally recommend Just Row, but not just for rowing *2023-12-25* There are so many carefully curated rowing programmes, but there are also stretching routines, strength workouts - for weights or bodyweight only - and even a bit of mindfulness. And all the way through, coach Austin guides and encourages. After starting using Just Row properly (and changing diet) from Oct 22, I have altered body shape, lost 16kg, and have a wholely more positive attitude. Give it a go. It has changed my life for the better. ### 5/5 — N00b review *2023-11-10, version 8.200.1* I purchased my first water rower and started by watching Austin’s YouTube channel for two weeks. I realized that I’m comparison to other training videos and apps that the Training Tall program was what I most looked forward to each day. The focus on proper form, technique and generating power without flailing around at 30spm was a great way to improve, get fit, without putting myself at risk for an injury. I’m a snowboarder, mountain biker, and moto rider and I’ll save my injuries for those sports lol. I’m 45 years old and feeling the struggle to balance work, self-care and family, sp keeping my exercise routine fun and efficient is my priority. I switched over to the app this week and I continue to be impressed with the quality of the video, the coaching and engagement and the focused fitness. I love it! Looking forward to kicking off pow season in the best shape of my life. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2023-11-05, version 8.200.1* I really found this very useful to train with. Following Austin with the various different types of workout helps me to keep on track. I would highly recommend ### 5/5 — So happy I signed up! *2023-10-03* No wonder I wasn’t enjoying rowing before - I was doing it completely wrong! I’m amazed at how quickly I learned the techniques and made improvements. It’s a whole new experience now! I enjoy Austin, find him to be funny, and really enjoy the workouts. Of course I started with the Intro series to learn technique, and now I look forward to getting on the rower (in the morning, no less!) and closing my exercise ring before 8am. Thanks so much Austin!! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2023-09-11, version 8.200.1* Austin has kept me motivated and pushed me to new fitness levels. I thoroughly enjoy the workouts. Definitely worth the investment. ### 5/5 — Best exercise app! *2023-07-08, version 8.200.1* I have all types of exercise app, treadmill, elliptical, yoga, everything. I keep coming back to Just Row for the best, most efficient, total body workout. Love it! Also, Austin is super nice and really keeps me going within the workout. Gold Star! ### 5/5 — Makes rowing and fitness accessible and dare I say, fun *2023-07-02, version 8.200.1* Great follow along fitness building progression no matter what your machine with added bonus mobility and strength training ### 5/5 — Best money I ever spent on an app *2023-06-25, version 8.200.1* I’ve tried a few workout apps and I just didn’t have the motivation to keep with it. Austin has put together something really special here. He got me out of my post pandemic exercise funk, and has motivated me to get back in shape! Most importantly- Austin is a talented coach. He keeps you motivated, laughing, and want ing to come back for more. You can tell he has put his heart and soul into this app. ### 5/5 — Very Helpful- I never towed before .. *2023-06-15* I fooled around with rowing machines throughout my life now and then at the gym. I'm 60 years old. Don't really feel like enduring the pain of running lifting heavy weights. Figured I'd try rowing. The way it is broken down here into steps made it very easy for me to understand the concepts and technique of rowing. I feel like I'm already getting a lot benefiting from it. ### 5/5 — Just Row - Spring Into Rowing Challenge *2023-06-13, version 8.200.1* I came across Austin and Just Row shortly after I purchased my Concept 2 rower in January of 2023. The timing of the launch of his Spring Into Rowing Challenge could not have been better. It is a 12 week program that saw me steadily progress in my rowing ability, thanks to Austin and his encouraging dialogue, tips and tricks throughout the program. If you’re just starting out in rowing or if you’re a seasoned veteran looking for a challenging collection of rowing workouts…Just Row is right for you! Thank you Austin! ### 5/5 — Austin’s Coaching *2023-06-11, version 8.200.1* This is one of the most gifted and challenging Coaches I have ever come across ! I loved this program! 12 Weeks 4 workouts each week So challenging yet so Rewarding I improved my skills so much My watts improved my SPM improved I leaned how to slow them down and Improved my Form Austin also had a great sense of Humor to Motivate me .. I played baseball in college and have been around alot of Coaching! This Guy was totally Fun and Motivating! Thank you We worth the Price !! 😎❤️ ### 5/5 — Great coach and app *2023-06-10, version 8.200.1* I was introduced to Austin (Training Tall) when I got my Aviron rower as a newbie 10/21and people suggested his YouTube videos. Shortly after his programs were included in our rower content. But it wasn’t until fellow Aviron rower suggested I get his app and do his 2023 Spring Challenge and I am so glad I did. The challenge was tough but I loved it and not only improved my overall stats exponentially but my long haul rowing endurance really increased. He is a great and encouraging coach and has fun programming that made the time fly by. Get the app and Just Row. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No new content *2022-07-31, version 7.502.1* This app was great as a beginner. But there has been no new content in months. Paying a monthly subscription to watch the same videos over and over is silly. ### 1/5 — Love this guy’s rowing workouts but the app is big hassle *2022-01-15, version 7.204.1* I can’t renew my subscription no matter what I do. Ugh. I gave up and am hunting down more training videos from him and other rowing coaches on YouTube. ### 1/5 — I can’t get signed up *2022-01-12, version 7.204.1* Hi! I want to subscribe to this app, but it won’t let me - it just keeps spinning. Can you help? Thank you! ### 1/5 — Can’t start free trial *2021-12-29, version 7.204.1* Okay, was really looking forward to trying your app Austin, but every time I try to start the free trial, all I get is an endless spinning circle. I guess I’ll keep looking at your stuff on YouTube until you get this fixed. As soon as this works, I’ll amend my rating. ### 1/5 — Let down *2021-12-13, version 7.204.1* I was enjoying the app until one day it just expires and will not allow me to renew. ### 1/5 — What’s the point *2021-01-08, version 6.020.2* Just YouTube in an app, could watch the videos anywhere ### 4/5 — Best investment *2022-04-25, version 7.303.1* I decided to get the annual membership after watching Training Tall (Austin) on YouTube! I’m so glad I did. This app has multiple programs for different needs or goals. I just finished the “Fresh Start 8-weeks program” and I lost 16 pound. I have PCOS and suffer from knee pain and inflammation, so rowing was the perfect workout for me. Now, with PCOS is so hard to lose weight that losing 16 pounds in 8 weeks and still feel with energy and not sore feels like a miracle. Austin, has created multiple programs that you can enjoy most with progressions. Next I am doing the either the 10 min or the 20 program, I haven’t decided yet. He also has included workouts for home without the use of the rower, also included stretch and kind of meditation. I think there are ways to improve the app, although I really enjoy the experience. Like being able to kind of mark when you have completed a program or workout. Being able to see when the workouts had been uploaded to see the most recent ones, etc. other than a few minor fixes, this is the best decision I have made. Finally, I purchased the affordable rowing machine that Austin recommended on his YouTube channel and it is such a good rowing machine. I like how honest Austin is. ### 4/5 — Good app *2021-07-13, version 6.300.1* Good app but wish it showed which workouts you’ve completed so you don’t repeat. ### 5/5 — Skilled instructor *2025-10-24* I am just learning to row. Austin provides clear instructions & helpful tips on how to maintain proper form & cadence. The stretching/flexibility sessions are also excellent. He has a calm & encouraging demeanor. He doesn’t lecture or blather on. I actually look forward to these workouts. ### 5/5 — Just row *2025-09-18, version 9.100.1* Absolutely fantastic app for rowing. When I started rowing about 7 years ago, I was learning off YouTube videos. Just row happened to be one of those videos. I quickly bought a yearly subscription. It has been an amazing journey with Austin ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Life changing *2025-05-28* I have officially started year 2 this week of just row… not only have i increased my cardio and over all health but my mental attitude has improved and taking what we learn into everyday accounts.
