UVRF is pleased to offer Virtual Erg Workouts (VEWs) from November 2022 through April 2023. The workouts are held Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday mornings from 6:30 to 7:30 AM using zoom. Recordings of each workout are also available for people who cannot make the 6:30 start time. Follow along or just row at your own pace. BikeErgs are also welcome as well as any other fitness device of your choice! UVRF membership is not required – invite your friends.

One 4-week session corresponding to the Concept2 Holiday Challenge, https://log.concept2.com/challenges/holiday, will run from November 28 to December 24. Enter your Row, Bike, or Ski Erg numbers on the Concept2 logbook and convert your meters into charitable donations!

An 8-week session (32 workouts, VEW1) will be offered from January 2 – February 25, 2022.

Two 4-week sessions will follow (16 workouts each): VEW2 March 6 – April 1 and VEW3 April 3 – 29.
