What Clients Say

Morning Meghan! I rowed with Megan this a.m. and she told me after class I have great form, which is nice to her, so I want to THANK YOU for that form! :)

[Note: Megan is a former UVIC rower and coxswain, and a highly technical instructor at Club Row.]

I have enjoyed working with Meghan because I've learned a lot, especially about the 'non-machines' aspect of exercising. She's helped me safely transition from formerly feeling like a rehab patient to now feeling like a normal person on my way to getting fit.
