User reviews

Great app!

The app does everything I like and I always get great results with the programs.

Only gripe recently it seems in app purchases aren’t working and I can’t get my account back online.

Devs messaged on social they were updating things so hopefully functionality is restored with the updates.

Fantastic App for fitness

Amazing workouts designed based on the users own ability and VO2 max rating. Supported by science and Dr Kenneth Jay workouts to improve fitness.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the positive review! We have a big vision for Row Forge and will be starting another phase of development this summer! Yay 💪🏻 More training programs, more conditioning, power of 10 HIIT training etc

Only works for Concept2 Rowers? I have another brand.

RowForge at the moment will be immediately cancelled, if there is no way to connect my Echelon Rower. If there is another remedy please advise.
Disappointed!

Missing features

Doesn't allow for Polar H10 connection to the app nor for Apple Health to rite data (like HR) into the app. So, this does not capture HR data like it should.

Response from developer

It actually does however you need to connect the heart rate monitor to the PM5 then the app will collect the HR data. Please let me know if you need help with this.

Incredibly helpful and challenging

I have been using Row Forge for the last month or so and I have to say, the results have been outstanding! After testing all of the areas from 100m to “The Hour of Power” you can see the specific area needed to improve specific distances or timed rows. You use a few of the many varieties of workouts to focus on that specific area and then after 4-6 weeks working on that area, retest and see your progress.

The conditioning plan helps get new rowers familiar with form and technique over a 6 week period, rowing 5,000m 4 times a week to gradually work towards overall fitness and health.

If you’re looking for HIIT training there are those as well.

The program is completely unique to you, based on your personal profile. It’s incredible and challenges you every workout to improve.

Definitely recommend this app to rowers of all caliber!!
