About The Rowing Tutor

The Rowing Tutor is an independent site about indoor and on-water rowing. It started as a way to answer the questions people actually ask when they take up the sport: which machine to buy, how to train for a 2k, and how to find a club.

The site is run by its two co-founders, Dan Higgins and Louis Zaidman.

How we write our guides

• Buying guides are based on manufacturers’ published specifications, current UK prices, and our own view of what matters to a home rower.
• We only say we’ve tested something when we have. If a review is based on research rather than hands-on use, that’s how it should be read.
• Prices and models change. Every guide shows when it was last updated, and we’d rather you checked the live price than trusted an old figure.
• Nothing here replaces medical advice. If you’re injured, pregnant or managing a condition, speak to a doctor or physio before you train.

How the site makes money

We earn from affiliate links and from our paid training plans. Neither pays for a recommendation, and no manufacturer can buy a place in a guide.
