Welcome to Erg Inspiration!

Where you Train with Virtual Partners — Individually or as a Club
 
Does this sound familiar?
 
§ You can't find the time or motivation to work out today.
§ You've been doing the same erg workouts for years and don't know how to design new ones.
§ You feel you'd benefit from the support of a work-out "buddy," but you don't belong to a club or your club doesn't have indoor team workouts.
 
MastersCoaching can help.
 
Erg Inspiration for Clubs — Private Group Sessions --see below
 
 
For Individual Rowers:
You are invited to join with other rowers for a series of erg coaching sessions by phone. You'll experience the benefits of professional coaching – including workout designs, motivation, instruction and feedback – and the support and accountability of other rowers.
 
Workout Days and Times (Eastern)
 
Monday/Thursday– 7:00-8:00 a.m.
Monday/Thursday– 9:00-10:00 p.m. and 9:30-10:30 pm
 
Join ANY time!
 
It's fun! It's effective! It's affordable!
 
How it works:
 
1. You receive your workout by email 1-2 days in advance, so you can look it over and email with questions.
 
2. Check-in: You call in at a designated hour before you work out. During a 5 to 10 minute conference call, we’ll give you coaching tips, motivation and answer questions.
 
3. We hang up, and you spend the next 40 minutes doing your erg workout, while your virtual teammates do the same.
 
4. Check-out: After your workout, you call back and report on your experience. You'll receive feedback and encouragement from your coaches and from your virtual workout buddies.

Private Erg Inspiration Training for Your Rowing Club
 
· Does your club’s training program tend to fall apart in the off season?
· Are you and your teammates tired of the same old erg training sessions?
· Could your club benefit from coaching during off-the-water training?
 
Now you can train together as a group with a virtual coach!
 
In 2009 MastersCoaching worked with the Stockton (Calif.) Rowing Club in its first-ever private group Erg Inspiration program. The series has been incredibly popular — not to mention an effective training and teambuilding tool. The format for these group Erg Inspiration sessions is similar to that used in our open sessions for individual rowers.
 
Here’s what 3 Stockton Rowing Club members say about Erg Inspiration:
 
“We have reaped many benefits by participating in Erg Inspiration. Technical skills have improved, and fitness levels have skyrocketed. The less obvious benefit has been the opportunity to stay engaged together though the winter. . . . Through Erg Inspiration we've been able to keep our club alive all winter long! People stay connected, have another social outlet; members receive more value for their buck, etc! Thank you, Mayrene and Chelsea!” – Patricia Tirone
 
“I feel stronger and look forward to each workout. Chelsea has given me great feedback and insight, as well as options for completing the workouts. I'm learning what I'm capable of. I wasn't an athlete and didn't grasp how far I could push myself; through these workouts, I'm learning. I actually feel frustrated when I can't make a Wednesday session!” – Janeen Sonnad
 
“Erg Inspiration has been an incredible training program. I have never been so strong a rower from a cardiovascular perspective, and I have also learned to focus on ratio and control. . . . I have definitely felt an improvement in my split times since I started. Workouts combine fast and slow rowing and hard and easy rowing. Hence, even though they are hard, the workouts are not dreadful - they are rather fun! I also appreciate following a custom workout program designed by an expert coach because I think that (a) it pushes me harder than if I were to erg on my own and (b) I am much less likely to get hurt from attrition and repetitive movements, since workouts are designed to build up resistance and strength slowly (but surely).” – Victoria Junquera
