Have you passed by the Ang-Mitchell Rowing Center and Getz Family Boathouse on Reeds Lake and wondered what the East Grand Rapids High School Crew Team does inside?

Hint… it has something to do with a machine called an ergometer that uses 86% of all major muscle groups, burns up to 1,000 calories an hour, and provides a low impact way to reduce resting heart rate, lower blood pressure, improve VO2 max, and can even reduce anxiety (that last point is debatable!)

But don’t take our word for it, come try for yourself!

EGR Crew is excited to announce that we now offer adult drop-in erg sessions on Friday mornings! These sessions are open to all adults age 18+, regardless of experience, who want a structured, supportive environment to work out while learning or maintaining solid rowing technique.

What to Expect

Structured workouts, with two options each session (higher-intensity / lower-intensity).
5-10 minutes of technical instruction at the beginning of each session.
Sessions are not fully coached, team coaches will be available for guidance but will be training alongside participants.
A friendly, low-pressure atmosphere where all skill levels can participate.

Who Can Participate

Adults 18+
Not open to current high school students.
No rowing experience required - just a willingness to work hard and learn.

Registration & Cost

Registration and waiver are required prior to participation.
Payment is required prior to participation.

Whether you’re an experienced rower, brand-new to the sport, or somewhere in between, join us for a welcoming, community-based way to improve fitness and challenge yourself!
