CLASS OUTCOMES

Further, you’ll have learned everything you need to know to get a full body workout each and every time you set foot in the boat. And best of all, because you are on the water and surrounded by a team of new, interesting people, you’ll be motivated (dare we say thrilled!) to attend as much you can, helping you achieve your fitness goals.
Lake Union Crew offers a positive and unique experience you are not likely to forget. Just take a look at our rowers in action!
