I have been working on a rowing seminar to be presented at our gym on Feb 11th. It is a 1 day program taught by the crew that does the training for Concept 2 and CrossFit. The cost is $225.00 and we need at least 10. At first I was very optimistic about filling the class and then some, but now I'm not so sure.
I plan on opening the workshop up to outsiders but will hold off until I get some commitments. If I don't get any commitments soon, I will scrap the whole idea.
Here is the info from their website:
