his Ambassador’s Corner recaps a training experience you don’t want to miss — especially if you’re seeking a workout that is sure to kick your power and endurance gains into hyperdrive. This blaster of a session included eye-bulging intervals and a fantastic view of Lady Bird Lake, which may have become slightly blurred for me around the fourth set of our speed-themed class. This month, we are continuing efforts to support the Central Texas Food Bank and their mission to respond to the ongoing presence of food insecurity in Austin. We are grateful for your generous donations which are aiding the work of keeping Austin fed, and every cent counts as we work to increase food access to those who are in need.

This local rowing studio is made by rowers for rowing experts and novices alike. They serve big, small, tall, young, old and anywhere in-between, and each person leaves class feeling stronger and accomplished. All levels of fitness are capable and can join the fun with little to no rowing experience. At Rō, they care a whole lot about proper form, and that’s just step one. Once form is established, the sky’s the limit on one’s fitness gains through their challenging intervals. Because most people don’t know what to expect, owner and coach Chelsea Moore guides you every step of the way. Just come expecting to learn proper form, because that’s the first step, and trust me, when you hear, “You’re racing yourself!” it is a reminder that every stat is going to be produced by you! Did you know Rō offers your first class free if you attend their INTRō class on Sunday at their Tarrytown studio? It’s actually not an easy workout, as it may seem — but it’s the absolute best way to understand
