Go Row Chicago

Everyone was extremely and helpful at GoRow. As our circuit instructor, Beth was very patient and happy to stay after class to answer any questions. However, if you haven’t done a rowing class before I recommend not taking the circuit class, there is less time to demonstrate the basic rowing position which I found to be very important!

Absolutely love the rowing classes. The staff is great, the workouts are excellent, the place is friendly and clean. Only negative is that the classes are sometimes very hard (=good) and sometimes they are fairly easy/​light (=not so good).
Best thing about the place is when you are new, it’s not awkward at all and no one treats you different. Place is awesome!
One of my favorite workout studios and classes in Chicago, and it’s very different from a lot of other things offered in the city. Love the instructors who are always great.

The GO Team has done it again! What a great place! I am a bit biased being an avid Go Cycler, but I love Go Row! The instructors are great and super motivating. I love interval training, and this adds the new twist of rowing. The workouts are so challenging but in the good way that makes you want to be better. Give it a try!!!

I’m never disappointed when I take a go row class, they are always challenging and fun! The classes are great for all fitness levels as you can go at your own pace on the rowers and during the strength portion.

I’ve been going to GO Cycle for over three years now and love it. I recently started taking GO Row classes in addition to my cycling classes. I feel stronger, healthier and am challenging myself in ways I never thought I could. It’s a great change to the traditional workout I’m used to. Try GO Row; you won’t regret it!

Absolutely LOVE Go Row! I don’t know if there’s a better place in the city to get a total body workout! I love that you can take spinning upstairs and row downstairs. I have gone to pretty much all of the instructors and each one is wonderful. Downstairs for row, I keep coming back to Dustin’s class for more though!

I found Go Row through Class Pass and I absolutely love it. I wear a heart monitor to track my calories burned and of all the many classes I take through Class Pass (yoga, Pilates, spin, and other HIIT classes) I burn the most calories at Go Row. I love the format. You alternate being on the row machine and doing weights on the floor. Breaking it up like that allows me to really push myself in each sequence, burning maximum calories. If you have some kind of weight gloves or cycle gloves, I would recommend earring them to prevent calluses or blistering. Go Row offers a fabulous full body work out and the instructors are very knowledgeable. They challenge you and help with form to make sure you get the most out of your time there. I highly recommend Go Row for anyone looking for an intense work out.

Such a refreshing, full body workout! I was curious as to how an hour long row class was going to offer variety, but Go Row really nailed it. Not only are you rowing, but you’re also using the machine to do some core work and stretching as well. The time spent on the floor/​benches is a nice way to give your body a break before back to rowing. Dustin is the man!

Go Row is just as fantastic as Go Cycle and a great alternative to the upstairs cycle studio. The class format changes slightly each time, but most of the classes alternate between the water rowers and the individual weight benches. This allows you to get your heart rate up and really sweat, then catch your breath and challenge your muscles with lifting. It also allows for a variety of fitness levels. I got hooked on rowing at Equinox but find the Go Row classes to be a much better workout. Rowing might be a little intimidating at first, but the instructors are awesome teachers and it is a very welcoming environment. Give it a try — you will get hooked too!

First time at the studio and I took Go Row. Really great work out. You’ll feel sore immediately, but it’s the good burn! Instructors are very nice to newbies, you don’t feel like everyone’s done this before but you. Very welcoming. There are cubbies in the room to leave your valuables.
I would recommend wearing gloves, I got mega callouses. Otherwise, highly recommend it!!!

Go Row classes are a great full-​body workout. I have taken several classes, and the staff does a wonderful job of varying each session to keep things fresh (they are also great with first-​timers — so don’t let being a newbie keep you from trying it out). The row machine offers plenty of intensity without beating up on your joints, and the resistance intervals help you really push to the next level.
