👍👍 My girlfriend and I had done bits of rowing before and never massively enjoyed it. One class with Kristin changed all of that! Her focus on technique and the encouragement she offers has got us totally hooked. Go to a class, you won’t regret it! People often mention Scullhouse, rowing, class, Kristin, classes, friendly,

    My first time in a rowing class. The entire vibe of Scullhouse is very chill and relaxed, yet energizing and motivating. I attended the Sunday morning foundational class and it was very informative in terms of technique, and the instructor was energetic and lively. Would definitely return and recommend!

    I love this studio and the classes! First of all it's small, so you get a lot of attention from the coaches. The studio is very friendly clean and welcoming. The staff are amazing and most of all rowing is a really cool activity - you get full body exercise and burn a lot of calories. Plus it's easy to start of you haven't been exercising for a long time.

    Scullhouse is awesome! I’ve been attending classes for well over a year now which is the longest I’ve kept up any workout routine. I had never rowed before but the challenge of improving your technique while getting a phenomenal workout keeps me coming back! The instructors are all super friendly, positive, and help to create a truly unique environment. I can’t recommend Scullhouse enough!

    Everyone is super friendly at Scullhouse. Rowing is a team sport and the staff carry that feeling over to the classes (even though you're on your own machine). Instructors give you queues as to how hard you should be working but it's up to you to push it. Facilities are super clean and there are lockers to put your stuff. (Also, I had a misconception that rowing was an arms-heavy activity but turns out it's more hamstrings and glutes, so keep that in mine if you've got specific fitness goals.)

    Scullhouse is a great facility with knowledgeable and supportive staff with an impressive focus on quality customer service. The fitness benefit for cross training can not be over emphasized. As a tour cyclist I was impressed at how my winter of indoor rowing prepared me for climbing during this years cycle tour. Keep up the great work!

    Kristin and all the trainers at SCULLHOUSE Rowing are amazing! In person or online, the classes offer the perfect combo of challenge and variety. As someone who has tried virtually every type of training, nothing else compares to rowing - the perfect full body workout. And Kristin and her team make it so fun!

    I did the just row class with Kristin. She was very welcoming, she made sure I knew all the rowing basics to get started. She knew everyone in the class’ name, she cued like a real pro and was so energetic throughout the whole class. I was skeptical about a ‘just rowing’ class but it was well structured, it flowed by quickly, had a purpose, everyone was working together (at their own strength level) it was fun and challenging. Also front desk was very friendly and professional. Very impressed.

    Whether you’ve rowed before or you’re just looking for a new workout, this is the place to be! I’m personally a rower and the classes that Scullhouse teaches really help to add back a lot of that high intensity cardio on the erg instead of just your usual steady state or sprint pieces. They focus a lot on power and negative splitting which really also after just a few classes I feel helped me improve a lot. If you’ve never rowed, be prepared for an exercise that works your entire body and is way better than just a spin class. The instructors are very friendly and helpful, but will also push you hard. Also, the facility is incredibly clean, well air conditioned, and the locker room showers are amazing. Loved it!!!

    SCULLHOUSE is an amazing gym and offers awesome workouts for all levels. The founder Kristen is very knowledgeable and makes everybody feel so comfortable yet inspires them to do their best. I highly recommend Scullhouse

    Rowing is pretty much the perfect workout. Scullhouse is the best.

  • 5/5 Ian H. 2 years ago on Google
    Kristin Jeffery and her team at Scullhouse Rowing have it figured out for you. With fun educational workouts, rowing your way to the best you is easy. Who else would you want to lead and motivate you, then a Canadian National Team rower? I highly recommend joining Kristin and her crew at Scullhouse Rowing.

    I recently got a rower and was looking forward to participating in the online class. I really wanted to like this place and while I know that this is a hard time for business, I also work hard for my money and felt that I didn’t get my money’s worth. I signed up for a two week unlimited trial. I had to follow up twice to reach someone - my credit card was charged but didn’t receive any confirmation or receipt. I was emailed the Zoom links for the week, and attended my first class. I had no idea what was going on, what s/m we were at, so perhaps it was too advanced for me? On the website it says that I should be receiving recordings of the classes for that week. I didn’t receive any emails with recordings and for the second week I didn’t even receive an email with the Zoom links. I really wanted to like this place but I was so disappointed. I don’t want a refund but would be nice if the owner donates to a charity the money that I paid for services I didn’t receive.

    Kristin's energy and committment to the work she does at Scullhouse is nothing short of infectious. For the time I've known Kristin and the work she and team does at Scullhouse, all I can think about is that rowing machine I never paid much attention to at the gym! Keep sharing that amazing energy with customers, Kristin,. I recommend Schullhouse to anyone looking to get fit and have fun at the same time.

    SCULLHOUSE Rowing's Kristin Jeffrey is a powerhouse! She is focused on helping each client achieve personal fitness success through rowing. Super friendly and encouraging, Kristin sees the power and possibility in each of us and helps us see ourselves and our potential in a way that we cannot. She is super approachable and inspiring!
