James took the time to show me proper form before my first signature class which was helpful. Having never taken a rowing class, I was worried it might be a little monotonous but the class structure of varied pacing and handweight ‘breaks’ kept things interesting. A good mix of cardio and light strength.

The WestEnd location is awesome! The studio is very updated, clean, and well equipped!
I took the Strength class with Jon on a Thursday evening. This was my second time ever rowing and the first time was 4 years ago! Jon was very helpful explaining how to use the machine and his music selection was awesome! The music was loud but, did not drown him out! It was a good row workout with some light weights, which was perfect for me!! I have signed up for several more classes and look forward to getting better each time and seeing the results! Definitely a must try if you’ve never rowed!

I tried Row House as part of a free trial I had on Class Pass. I’ve quickly found a lot of enjoyment in rowing as a form of exercise. After my first class the great staff told me about a newcomer deal that they were offering, and I was back for my second class the next day. Both classes have been with Liam, who is great. Excited to keep going to Row House!

I tried Row House for the first time yesterday, and I was really impressed! The entire team was welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away. Coach Erica was especially fantastic — super encouraging, energetic, and great at explaining everything for a beginner. The workout itself was challenging but fun, and I left feeling strong and accomplished!

It was my first time rowing ever, and coach Jon was extremely helpful. He took the time to explain me the correct movement, both before and during class. One of the best workouts I have ever been to! I'm definitely signing up for a membership.

The workout and the environment at Row House West End are truly the best. Everyone is on their own journey, but you’re really encouraged to row together!
If you’ve never rowed before, this is the place to start. The instructors will take the time to make sure you have the right form before class and check in throughout.
If you’ve been on a rower before, their classes are large enough that your PR is still going to improve.
The facilities are clean, the rowers are well-maintained, and the classes are fun. Go in ready to sweat

Efficient, intense (but generally manageable) workouts that run just 30 to 45 minutes, so you're in and out before you know it. After only about a month of rowing, I noticed significantly improved cardiovascular stamina during my other workouts. Also, if you hate classes in brightly lit, mirrored rooms, this is for you. There's enough subtle light to monitor your own form in the mirror but you don't feel self-conscious, like you're on display, the way it sometimes feels in other group workouts.

The only drawback to the facility is that there are two large, single-occupancy restrooms but no showers, which complicates things some if you want to work out right before work, or you need to get back on Metro to get home, so you'll need to figure out workarounds for that.

This was my first time attending a row class and Alecia made me feel right at home. Before the class she explained to me what to expect and the flow of the class. She made sure I was fitted and seated properly on the machine. I absolutely loved the class and will definitely be back. If you get a chance take Alecia class she will take care of you.

Just getting started on my rowing journey, and this place was the perfect launchpad. A friend sent me an invite to a class, and after just one session, I was hooked. They offer a variety of classes that blend rowing with stretching and low-impact weights—all while focusing on proper form to ensure an effective workout. So far, I’ve taken classes with Liam and Alex, and both were outstanding. I also love that they mix things up with themed rowing sessions, which keeps the experience fresh and fun. I’d highly recommend this studio to first-timers, seasoned rowers, and everyone in between.

I took my first class at Row House, and it was an awesome experience! They had me come in early to get familiar and comfortable with the rowing machine, which I really appreciated since it was my first time rowing. The studio itself was clean and had lockers for personal storage. Cardio isn’t usually my favorite, but the class (and Taylor!) kept me engaged the whole time. The class flew by, and I left the class feeling great. So far, I’ve only taken a class with Taylor, and she was fantastic. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I’ve become completely obsessed with Row House West End! From the moment I walked in, the studio’s spotless, inviting atmosphere set the tone for a great workout. The instructors are absolute rock stars—shoutout to Jon and Alex for their energy, expertise, and encouragement every single class. Whenever I have a question about my account, the manager is on point: friendly, patient, and always happy to help.

Since joining, I’ve noticed a dramatic increase in my strength. My core, back, and arms have never felt better and I can genuinely say my self‑esteem and confidence have skyrocketed. Whether you’re a seasoned rower or a total beginner, Row House West End makes you feel supported and motivated to push your limits. I’ve already recommended it to all my friends, and I can’t wait to see how far this community and my fitness can go!

I popped in for an introductory class at Row House recently. At first, I was a bit intimidated because I’ve never been to a row class before. However, the front desk attendants and instructors go above & beyond to make you feel knowledgeable about the machines and proper techniques before class starts. The class was challenging, but fun! Liam was an excellent instructor & very motivating! I would definitely recommend checking this place out!

I’ve had an incredible experience at Row House West End so far! I had never rowed in my life before attending my first class with Alecia quickly followed by my second, third, and ongoing classes with Jon, Taylor, Alex, Liam, and Erica. Each coach brings a bit of a different flavor to your class experience, but all of them are incredibly attentive and helpful when it comes to your form and aiding you in having the best experience possible.

I’m almost done with my initial 20 days unlimited offer and plan to continue on. I particularly love the variety of class forms with signature, full row, restore, intervals, and strength as well as the express options. The classes keep to time and it makes for a reliable post work workout class complete with convenient makeup wipes and hair ties in the bathrooms for when you don’t have your own. There are also lockers and an always friendly front desk attendant.

Seriously, I’m so happy I decided to randomly try this class out and can’t recommend it and the experience offered enough!

My new favorite workout studio in the city!! I was looking to get into rowing for some time and this Row House location offered a great variety of classes, welcoming instructors, and easy instructions for first timers like myself. The classes all have great energy, the studio is clean, and check in is always a quick, easy process. The studio also encourages an unbeatable three week trial where I got to try out rowing with all the different classes and instructors. Can’t wait for my next class!

I recently attended my first class at Row House and was pleasantly surprised. It was a great go at your own pace class but still intense. Alecia was a great instructor and the playlist was honestly perfect. I would love to attend more but the class schedule during the week doesn’t offer any later classes. Definitely will be back though when I can.

First off, Wow what a workout. All of the coaches make it so fun and literally make you think you’re working as a team in class. Last class was with Jon who really raises the bar for coaching. It is truly an effective workout and you can’t be anything but happy when you leave. I don’t know what it is, rush of endorphins or just happy people having fun. Thanks Row House love these classes.

Elisa, Jon and Alicia all are phenomenal at engagement and diversifying the work out experience each bringing a different focus. The space itself is clean and organised with machines that always running smoothly.

Only ask I'd make is for them to get floor workout mats for floor workouts- my knees arent what they used to be.

Reading some of the other reviews regarding fraud and no communication, I shouldn't be surprised by what happened to me/what continues to happen. I signed up as a founding member last year, and when the city banned indoor classes last year, I got a notification that the membership was suspended. They reinstated my membership without me knowing and continued charging me every month. Their communication was 100% top notch when I was a potential client. As soon as I signed one, communication went out the door. Now, it has been literally months, over a dozen phone calls, and several unanswered emails in trying to get this resolved. I really didn't want to leave a google review, because I want to see business thrive, but I wanted to put a warning out there. The manager, Kyle, even answered an email from me weeks ago, stating that he would be in touch the next day. Then he ghosted me. I've sent numerous emails since then. I am in the process of reporting Kyle and Row House West End to the Better Business Bureau and the DC Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs.

I have been a member of Row House West End since it opened and go to a class about 4 days/week. I think the studio is fantastic. Kyle Moneymaker, the manager, is almost always at the front desk, where he greets everyone by name. He is extremely communicative about any class changes and always accomodating. The teachers are universally strong and fun and enthusiastic. I love the workout itself, which you can adjust to your fitness and energy level at all times. I think the cost is reasonable and a good value. I'm a big fan.

This location has done a terrible job in communicating with its customers about any account issues. I have been trying to cancel my account for FOUR MONTHS and they will not respond to any emails, voice mails, or texts that I have sent. If you call their billing department, they say the only people who can do anything about canceling the account is the actual facility. DO NOT give this place your business.

I tried to cancel my account for 3 months but they insist I have to pay even after the cancelation was contracted for 30 days. I tried calling to cancel and it is a “3rd” party so they can’t cancel my account with row house. So for three months they been charging me. Worst business model, hope they go under soon. The classic gym that needs money so they drag out these cancellations.
