I'm not going to lie. I hate working out. So I thought this would be a great option for me. I took a free class and ended up getting a package. I had a blast and look forward to going more often. read more

I was curious to try out an entire class on a row machine and signed up through Class Pass on Row House. I received a welcome email with a waiver beforehand and was asked to come in early to get a demo. On arriving I was greeted by the staff and the instructor. They were both friendly and amazing even though it was a 6 am class on a Monday! Loved the support, friendliness and sense of community. I tried their Signature class which involved 75% on the rower and 2 strength sessions off. It's a great way to incorporate cardio into your strength training workouts. read more

My final review of the Row House! I have been here since 2019 and I have taken many classes here. I found Row House workout more as a maintenance workout and not really challenging, hence I would not really recommend it. You can get much more cardio such as indoor cycling or any cross fitness training but the Row House is barely adequate activity if you are already in shape. The new ownership has changed hand many times. This place must be on their 3rd or 4th owners since 2019 and the new owner seems to be very rigid with class extensions. Unlike 90% of other studios, there is no sense of customer appreciations and I just think that his customer retentions tendency works in real opposite of customers retentions. Given all of these, I won't be attending this place but if you want a gentle workout, give it a go. However, I would very much classify Row House Workout as Workout ‍ with no purpose! read more

What a wonderful post Christmas surprise, blessing and gift! My first time here and certainly not my last. Going to figure out what package to proceed with. From start to finish, what an excellent, professional, welcoming and supportive experience. No judgment. Patience. Community. I could sense such a positive vibe here. My first time rowing as well. Sure, I've dabbled with it in the big gyms but with wrong form and certainly not for a 45 min session. The music, cadence, all of it was handled expertly. HIIT, body weight exercises, dumbbell work and stretching. Shout out to Kelsey who welcomed me with such warmth and a thank you for coming handwritten card. Another shout out to Megan, our coach, who was so fun, funny, motivational, and helpful. I am so glad to have made it in today! I am bringing my friend next time! read more

This is a great place to try out for a full body workout and the employee's instructors are amazing.

A really great workout with awesome coaches and staff! The checkpoints keep me coming back, and it always feels worth it to attend a workout! read more

The owners of Row House Tustin also owned Row House Temecula. They gave two days notice before they closed the doors and absconded with our money. There are "many"of us rowers who were loyal for many many years that purchased blocks of classes. Frank and Carlos absconded with the money and are not responding to emails or phone calls. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone in the Tustin location. Beware. read more

I took a "body" class with Bryan, and it was great! I loved his energy, and thought he was clear and easy to follow. His playlist was awesome too! I was pumped! It's nice to know that they have different types of classes based on what you're looking for - the "body" class actually incorporated weights in between rows.. so you get a bit of weights thrown in along with your cardio. Row House classes are structured similarly to Cycling studios in the sense that you're in a dim room with upbeat music, and you're mainly following along with whatever the instructor does. Just instead of bikes you have row machines. I just find rowing really challenging in the sense that I'm never sure that my body positioning and movement is 100% accurate. Come 20-30 minutes early if it's your first time, and they'll walk you through positioning and provide guidance on how to row and what to expect. It definitely takes time and skill to really learn how to row properly! It's a great low impact workout though, and it's always fun to try something new. read more

Do not join this facility. They will rip you off and not care whatsoever. I cancelled my membership over 2 years ago and I'm still trying to get my money back and the membership cancelled. I filed a complaint today with the Better Business Bureau because this fraud factory should be shut down permanently. read more

Summary: Awesome aerobic exercise! Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff. Enlightening experience. Wish I did dragon boating in college. It's fun and healthy! Oh well, you can get a fantastic makeup experience at Row House. Signup was straightforward, then they walked me through the rowing station and the proper technique. Remember to keep your chest arched up forward even when you're retracting your row. Remember your legs are doing most of the work, not your arms. One major flaw that I experienced: the seat needed a small backrest. I was trying to see just how fast and hard I can row, but all of a sudden the seat slid forward from under me! Actually, I pushed so hard with my legs that I lifted myself off my seat. A backrest (or a seat belt) could have prevented that. Hence, I don't think I'll come back to this place... I don't want to feel again the disappointment of falling off my seat and having to waste a few seconds to pick myself up back onto my seat. In other words, I may never know my true record time at this Row House unless they improve their seats. Perhaps I didn't pull the handlebar high enough, or my leg kickoff angle is too high. I wonder how the teacher turns on the speakerphone of his mic. I didn't even see him push a button. It's like he just telepathically amplified his voice. They dim the gymroom lights during the exercise. There're a lotta fans running to keep you cool. Kinda like the wind you feel in actual rowboating, I'd imagine. They do encourage sanitation; as class ends, the teacher walked around, handing us a sanitation wipe to wipe down our contact surfaces. And as class was ending, the teacher welcomed us to stick around and talk to him after class. I thought that was a nice, amicable touch. No other ClassPass class I've been to this past week had that little friendly detail. All the other CP classes, ppl p much just come and go for class; no one sticks around to socialize. Small note: I found a 5lb dumbbell on their 3lb shelf. Took me a sec to even realize the shelves are labeled correctly; it was the dumbbell that was in the wrong place lmao. read more

It's a great workout ! I used to do crew back at Cornell but unfortunately I've put on a lot of weight since then. Row HOuse was great to get back into it with a full body workout that I could do at my own rhythm but also build up read more

The people are amazing! The workout is so do-able and fun! The music is great! I don't feel left behind. I can keep up with the group - almost. And the room is dark so if I fall behind, no one can see me . The people in the class are all shapes and sizes. And the people leading the class are all shapes and sizes too. It's such a community and they just wrap around you when you join. I reached 50K meters before I knew it! This is a great place to come and get your daily workout!! read more

I had a great first experience last week! Bobbi was super helpful and friendly. She got me set up and made sure my first class went smoothly. She is responsive to questions and seems to know everybody who comes for classes. Grant, my instructor, was also helpful and friendly. He explained the moves clearly. I have never rowed before and admit I felt a little out of my element, but everyone was so supportive and welcoming so I felt great by the end of class. Definitely a full body workout! read more

I finally went to my very first session and had fun! Grant coaches Foundation and it was precisely what I was looking for. A combination of exercises and pace... just enough to keep me motivated from one step to the next! He is very engaging and thorough in his instructions! I sincerely appreciate that he took the time to meet with me and another new member before class, to go over form and format. Jordan was managing the front office and she was so pleasant to chat with, she provided all the information I needed, including options with classes, scheduling, and packages available. Great experience overall, and positive vibes with fellow rowers! I am looking forward to coming back :) read more

The gym, staff and class I attended are 5 stars, BUT I signed up, only to find they have no classes that worked for my schedule. I went to their 4:30 class and there is only one in that timeslot per week. I had to cancel, but if they add more classes, I will definitely be back! read more

I just had my first workout at RowHouse Tustin and I'm impressed! I've tried every workout program out there and let me tell you this one hits all the major muscles. You will get an insane cardio workout with the added bonus of touching on all the major muscles. I'm addicted and will be attending at least 3 times a week. The staff is friendly, the coach was excellent, and the facility is super clean. You should try this place! read more

I love working out with my Row House team! Two of my clients referred me and it's been the best thing for my son and I! I really needed something that would strengthen my core. I often have low back problems from my work but rowing has really been strengthening my back. When I started I let one of my coaches know that I have a problem with my right shoulder. I had been having pain and I cannot lift my arm straight up. One day she asked me how my shoulder was and I had almost forgotten about it. I still cannot lift my arm fully straight up or put too my weight on it like doing a plank position but the pain had been gone since I started rowing. We have an unlimited membership and go 4 times a week consistently, with the exception of this week which will only be 3 times. We love it and highly recommend it! read more

Row House is my first foray into fitness, and I'm so glad to have found this awesome, inspiring community! If you don't read past this (TL;DR): you (literally) get out what you put in. Truly a low impact, full body workout for anybody. Give it a try! I had heard from a friend about this "rowing studio" in NYC, and to my surprise the first franchised location was opening up right in my backyard of Tustin Legacy. I looked at the website and thought it was cool, but didn't think I'd be "into it" and sort of forgot about it. In August, I found myself "funemployed" and told myself that now, there was no excuse, and that at the very least joining Row House would keep me from turning into a couch potato and get me up in the morning. I went in and Megan (GM) welcomes me and signed me up for a House class with Coach James. You're advised to come in 15 minutes early for your first class, and I'm glad I did - James introduced himself, introduced me to a few other members, and went over the erg (the indoor rowing machine). We then practiced the stroke (going back and forth), the readout on the monitor, and how it measured the work you put into the machine. The harder you push off with your legs and follow through with your core and arms, the more intense the workout is. The class is well-structured - the coach follows a curated playlist of great music and calls out the "stroke rate" - how many times you're going back and forth per minute. For most songs, you stay together, and at the beginning that can feel tough to do - but it gets easier whether you are someone who feels the beat, or someone who follows those around you. The "all-types" part of the workout is the intensity - the coach will also call out a pace, but it's not as if you're running in a pack and struggle to keep up. The various paces are your number and yours alone - so if my "sprint" number is higher or lower than someone else, it's okay because 1) you're at the same stroke rate so visually you're together, and 2) you alone work on improving what your jog, run, and sprint numbers are. The variety of class types keeps the workouts familiar but different every time. I go about 6-7 times a week now, but each coach balances their personal style with the structure and flow of each class. As you start taking different classes, you'll of course develop preferences - but I know that for me, the classes I shy away from are the ones I need the most! Some involve dumbbell weights (again here, you choose the weight, no judgments!) and some are body movements that I couldn't do well when I first started but have gotten better at with practice and strength-building persistence. Coaches call out modifications when a particular movement might be challenging for some, and again - totally okay here to push yourself as hard as you think you can (and then some!). I was immediately drawn to the data element that Row House brings to its workouts as well. Your running meters per class, your average pace, and cumulative statistics are all recorded, and immediately after each class, you're sent an email with stats from your workout. Everyone has different motivations, but for me this is an awesome part of the Row House experience - cumulative meter goals start small but grow as you start taking more classes and improve your technique. I've achieved things here I never, EVER thought I would, and that's thanks in large part to the heart and soul of Row House - the coaches and front desk team. The more you go, the more laughs, smiles, and high-fives you share. I invariably am greeted by name when I come in, and share in successes with them. Hitting a million cumulative meters seemed like a pipe dream and something only "those people" did, but persistence, encouragement, and coaches showing up on their free time just because they wanted to be there when I hit it - that's a real community. At Row House, we pull together. We meet at the catch (the starting position), and move to the finish together. We have fun and work hard. It is not easy, but your body and mind can only change when you (and your coaches) push yourself out of your comfort zone - and I am a transformed, stronger person because of Row House. read more

This review is for the customer service when I tried to cancel my membership. Granted I was told I needed to come in and sign the termination letter but they could have easily emailed me the link which is what ended up happening. Why was this so hard for them to do? I think they just want to get you into the studio and sway you to not cancel the membership. I emailed them back when I e-signed the letter and it took 3 emails and finally a phone all later to get a response. When I canceled a different studio they took my cancellation via text and even signed the termination letter for me! Because of that I would consider going back to that studio for their customer service! With this one, probably not. It's a shame for something so simple to do and with the technology that is available. read more

Amazing! I signed up through ClassPass for the 30 minute Express Signature row and that was enough for me to feel a difference! Amber and the rest of the staff were super friendly and helpful! It was my first class and I've never really rowed before, but Amber worked with me before and after the class to show me how to use the machine and the proper position to sit and pull. I will admit, my back does hurt a little and she told me it'll probably take 5-6 classes before I fully get it, but I am looking forward to coming back! We spent about 25 minutes on the machine and five minutes doing hand weight exercises. This is such a quick and easy workout and the class times are perfect for my schedule for me to get a quick workout in before work. read more

Fun discovering this place. New, clean, and appreciatively air-conditioned in the training room; they even provide a plush hand towel and lockers! It's nice that they offer different package plans - including paying per class. Not interested or ready to commit to joining but happy to have experienced this unique gym. read more

Row house is a really solid gym and I can proudly say I've been coming here on and off for almost 3 full months now. If you're completely new to rowing, be sure to get here 15 minutes early to get all situated so they can teach you the gist of it. It took me about 3-4 classes before I finally started understanding everything and was able to keep up with the pace. Some days have different variations of classes offered, so be sure to check with the front office before you come in for the first time to see what you're getting yourself into. I'd recommend trying the blend of being partially on the erg and off of it for the full workout. No showers here, but they have two restrooms you can change in and fully equipped lockers, so you won't need to bring in your own lock. They also have a nice water station as well. All the instructors I've had here have been amazing - they're motivating, helpful, and really push you to the limit. The overall workout is definitely different enough for me to enjoy without getting bored. Justin at the front desk is awesome and super helpful. While I have to cancel my membership for now due to work and life things happening, I'd love to return one day. read more

Row House at Ladera Ranch is fantastic. It truly is a total body work out. The staff are professional and give hands on instruction before during and after class. You can be a newcomer or advance rower the class is played with music and everyone is challenged . I've been rowing for 6 months and to think I was hesitant to try rowing because I hadn't exercise for over three years and I was afraid I couldn't do it. Hands down this is the best exercise classes in town and so fun. The staff are exceptional. Just do it you won't be sorry read more

I went to check out RowHouse Tustin after delaying for almost a month. They had been open for approximately two months and were offering a free class to newbies - so I wanted to take advantage. Rowhouse offers five different classes to get your heart pumping and sweat glands flowing. Four of the classes offer upbeat music and a fast paced class and one is more of a mellow restorative class. Five different flavors of classes Body - SUPER high energy - rowing and resistance training (weights) Full Row - high energy - lots of rowing House - high energy - rowing , stretches, and body-weight exercises Power - SUPER high energy - a rowing version of HIIT Restore - mellow - set to softer beats, a combination of dynamic stretching and rowing What I liked: The ambiance, sound system, new machines, and the energy the instructor injected into the class. It was fun, yet challenging, Although this is a group class the instructor kept an eye on everyone's metric's and came over to fix people's forms as needed After the class I received an email with data and metrics to help keep track of my performance Tips: Get there early if you haven't rowed before or need help with setup Look at the online schedule to decide which class you want to take They have lockers with locks aalready on them, in case you want to bring extra stuff They do NOT have showers, so plan to make a pit stop home before going on with your day Okay, stay sweaty friends. read more

I feel safe, supported and like I had an amazing workout each time I row here. I love learning the form, pacing, and tips from the coaches. I've taken classes with Bryan, Amanda, Greg, and Caley. They each push you to be your best and get the most out of the workout. They help you feel a sense of community with the other rowers in class. I love coming here and improving on my personal fitness goals. Thanks Rowhouse for making working out fun and safe, especially during COVID! read more

I love the row house! Great classes and fabulous instructors!! You should give it a try!!

I loved my workout and it was not just rowing but they have classes that include weights and core floor work.. Everyone here is so nice and welcoming and it doesn't feel like an intimidating place to workout for a woman. read more

1-electronic lockers, soft towels, and filtered water dispenser onsite, so just bring your water bottle; the studio is clean, and the rowing room itself is dark and black (think of spin class) 2-the studio uses the gold standard Concept2 machines; pick your station ahead of time on the Row House app to get the spot you want; the machine tracks your progress, which feeds to the app 3-great variety of classes depending on the type of workout you want, but the frequency of classes is not robust (yet) since they are still building up their membership 4-instructors have real (on the water) rowing experience; if it's your first time rowing then come 15-20m early to learn technique, form, and how to setup the machine 5-it truly is a total body workout that rivals a kickboxing workout, but better because it's without the hard impact on your joints The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the frequency of classes is limited. I'll change this to a 5 when more class times are offered read more

My first time at a row studio and loved it! The machines are new and the instructor Brian was helpful and motivating. I would highly suggest this place if you want to get a full body workout. read more

This is a great workout that can be very addicting! My three favorite aspects: Low Impact: I have done other gym programs but really love how I can bring high intensity and not hurt myself. Coaching: The coaches bring great energy and keep you working hard. Sofee, in particular, is very energizing and leads a great class! Online booking and tracking: I like to track results and love their app and easy class booking tool where I can select my spot. read more

The Rowhouse experience is life-changing! It's not just another workout or fad to try. Words can't so it justice, but I'll try. The coaching staff (Caley, Megan and Sofee) are supportive, understanding, motivating, and believe in you when you don't believe in yourself. Everyone (coaches and fellow rowers) support and cheer each other on...you compete against yourself and not others... It's the one workout you don't hurt afterwards....no sore knees, ankles, back, shoulders, etc...like you do with Zumba, CrossFit, or boot camps...you work your whole body, not just one muscle group like spinning.... I have a lot of health issues: new breast cancer survivor, several emergency surgeries, and a new diabetic....and I can tell you that every time I finish a class I feel 100 times better than when I walked in. Come and give it a try ....I can guarantee that you'll fall in love with a whole new workout experience.....and honestly who knew rowing could be so much fun! See you there! read more

Amazing low impact work out for the WHOLE body. Very low impact on the joints. Super clean gym and great motivated trainers. Fun and and fresh classes to keep you stimulated. read more

I joined The Row House Tustin almost a year ago, with no rowing experience, and was looking for something new. As a former competitive swimmer, this looked like a good challenge. Boy, was I right! I had no idea what a great total body workout I would get in just 45 minutes. I was hooked from the first class. I signed up for 8 classes a month, and quickly upgraded to unlimited. It doesn't matter what your level is, you always get a great workout. Between the amazing coaches pushing and the rest of the crew rowing together, I have lost about 20 pounds and gained strength and endurance. There are challenges throughout the year to help measure your progress. If you are looking for a fun and challenging workout, check out The Row House! read more

I had a legit, tough workout here, looking for something fun and different for my cardio workouts. I did a class with Brian, and it kicked my butt. I was definitely feeling it the next day! I'm going to try another class, and try to work it into my routine. Never rowed before, but it was a easy concept to pick up. The core workout off the riding machine killed me in a good way. I need to focus on my core. Definitely recommend coming in and trying it out. read more

Friendly staff, motivating coaches, a fun and intense workout that will challenge even the most seasoned athlete - this place has it all! Row House's facility is clean, well-maintained, and they take immense pride in making sure everyone's experience is the best it can be. If you're new, your first class is free, and the coach will take some time to personally walk you through the correct form and class schedule, which makes you immediately feel like you're part of the crew. I would totally recommend trying it out for yourself! read more

Love Row House! Not only is it a great way to get a full body workout, the coaches are all amazing and challenge you every step of the way while making goals obtainable. They take the time to show you the right way to row, and there are several different types of classes to fit what kind of workout you need or are in the mood for. Fun themes for holidays too! read more

The staff and coaches are so friendly and gun! Makes class amazing. Rowing is a new way of life for me but I never have any back pain when I'm done, so I love the no impact. I sweat like I never have with any other workout. read more

GREAT WORKOUT!!! Low impact, which is such a bonus, because you do not feel beaten up! If you have never rowed, don't let that stop you! I'd say 99% of the people there have never rowed! There is literally every age, every sex, every body type, in the classes. On and off the rower, you are encouraged to go at your own level, which is why I sit in the back still. I was horribly out of shape, but am getting stronger every day, and feel sooo much better now that I am working out 5 days a week again (which is totally possible with this workout)! On top of the great workout, the staff is wonderful! From all of the front desk people (Megan is AMAZING!!) to the coaches!! Even the other customers are great! It is very important for me to like the people I spend time with, no matter what I am doing, and I truly like these people!! If you are looking for a workout where you can go at your own level, have fun, be challenged, and even enjoy it... GIVE ROWHOUSE A TRY!!! After 1 class I was hooked, and now in just 2 months, I have rowed 191,575 meters! Pretty cool!! read more
