A new year brings new routines, and January is all about wellness resets. Indoor rowing stands out as a workout that offers not just full-body fitness, but a strong sense of community and connection. Henderson’s own Row House Henderson, owned and operated by Reble and David Houten, is designed to introduce residents to the multi-benefit world of rowing while offering a uniquely supportive, goal-driven environment.
Often celebrated by trainers and health professionals, rowing is one of the most effective full-body exercises and it’s surprisingly accessible to nearly anyone, regardless of age or experience. “Rowing is unique because it utilizes 87% of your muscles and is low impact,” says Reble. “It’s 60% legs, 30% core and 10% arms, meaning every part of your body gets activated—without pounding your joints.” The rower (erg) has an effort-based mechanism, which means resistance is generated by the user’s own energy. “This makes it easy for beginners; the machine responds to the individual, so you can join a class and get stronger at your own pace,” adds David.
Scientific studies show that indoor rowing, performed three to five times a week for several weeks, can decrease overall body fat by 4 to 16%, reduce LDL cholesterol, and noticeably improve joint strength and flexibility. In just six weeks, participants experienced lower blood pressure and increased trunk flexion, a measure of core mobility. The workout also boosts cardiovascular endurance, supports bone density, and improves heart health by increasing good cholesterol over time.
For first-timers, Row House Henderson goes above and beyond to provide a welcoming and expert-led introduction. Each guest is greeted by staff who ask about their goals, guide them through the studio, and introduce them to their coach. “No rowing experience is needed. The most important part of the beginner’s journey is feeling supported and welcome—we do that from the minute you walk in the door,” says Reble. Before class starts, new members get one-on-one instruction on form and have a chance to try a few strokes. Community is at the heart of the experience as well. New rowers are introduced to others in the studio, helping them feel welcomed from the start.
What to wear and bring? The studio recommends comfortable workout clothes, athletic shoes, and a water bottle (there’s FloWater onsite for easy refills). Row House Henderson provides a clean towel for every session. Coaches are ready to modify floor work and tailor pacing for both beginners and seasoned athletes, ensuring workouts are safe, effective, and empowering for everyone.
Results come quickly for new rowers: “You’ll notice heart-health benefits, muscle toning, and often weight loss in just a couple of weeks,” David explains. The studio has a motivational culture, celebrating milestones such as 50,000, 250,000, and even up to a million meters rowed. These achievements are recognized in class, on social media, and with special Row House gifts. Members can also look forward to themed classes (think glow and movie rows), nutrition challenges, and “power hours,” each designed to support growth and keep exercise fun. According to studies, sticking with rowing can also improve reaction times, mental health and endurance over time, making it ideal for people who want holistic gains from exercise.
Row House Henderson’s story is as inspiring as its workouts. Both owners began as members at another Row House location, falling in love with rowing before deciding to change careers and bring the concept to Henderson. “We truly love this studio, and you’ll see us rowing alongside our amazing crew,” says Reble. That sense of camaraderie echoes throughout every class, where encouragement and teamwork are prioritized just as much as sweat and effort.
If you’re hesitating to try something new, Row House Henderson makes it easy with a free first class, expert coaching, and a community atmosphere backed by evidence-based training that supports overall wellness. Whether your goals involve weight loss, strength building, better heart health or simply finding a fitness routine you can love, indoor rowing could be the solution for 2026.
