Concord Recreation

Tom Bohrer and CB Sands-Bohrer coach several rowing classes through the Concord Recreation Department. We occasionally bring in very qualified alternative coaches to run our workouts. 

Participants

All classes are open to all levels of experience.  All of our classes have men and women, from athletes in their 30's to those in their 80's.  We have competitive top tier masters rowers as well as beginners, bikers, runners, tennis players, zen rowers and more.  We provide individual targets for aerobic and anaerobic improvement, but ultimately everyone trains at their own pace.

High School

We run a winter training program for High School boys and girls which runs from mid-November to early March. Click here for more information.

Focus of the rowing sessions - Fall, Winter and Spring sessions

The focus of the rowing courses is to develop aerobic capacity and endurance and greater strength. Rowing is combined with circuit style weight training, plyometrics and body weight exercises to build core strength, explosiveness and overall fitness.  We monitor individual results and track progress, giving individual targets for each workout.  Many of our athletes race in CRASH-b Sprints.  In 2005 we had over a dozen participants, with several in the top 5 in their event.  Coaches row with the class.

Focus of the Rowing and Conditioning sessions - Off season session (Nov - March)

The focus of the rowing and conditioning courses are similar to the rowing sessions, but with even more emphasis on overall strength, agility, and core conditioning.  These sessions combine rowing with challenging circuit style weight training.  A priority is placed on having our athletes develop good technique to safely maximize training effect.  Many of our athletes join the class with little or no experience with weight training.
