Rowing in Atlanta

Rowing Life in Atlanta

Atlanta rowers balance a short on-water season with a long indoor training calendar. CrossFit boxes and boutique rowing studios are the go-to venues when temperatures drop, and the local masters scene is active year-round.

When to Row in Atlanta

Atlanta has four distinct seasons. On-water rowing is generally possible from late spring through early fall, while cold winters from November through March make indoor erging the main training modality. Local clubs and CrossFit boxes with Concept2 ergs become the hub of rowing fitness during winter.
