Built around your training. Not against it.
Most fitness games reward you for showing up. This one rewards you for doing the work. Every feature is designed to keep you on your plan.
Training Plans
Missions, races, and challenges are built around your training calendar — not the other way around. Follow the plan. Earn the rewards.
Workout Scoring
Scored 0–100 on how precisely you hit your targets. The game rewards discipline, not just raw speed. Execution matters here.
PM5 Integration
Your PM5 is the controller. Connect via Bluetooth or USB and every stroke feeds directly into the game — live splits, stroke rate, and heart rate.
Community Events
Seasonal missions reward consistency. Time trials and crew races alongside rowers who take their training as seriously as you do. You earn it together.

Row

A Message from the Founder
Since I discovered rowing machines, I've always had a deep admiration for Concept2. They have spent fifty years building quality rowing machines and they've never lost the plot. Their recipe: Great equipment, fair prices, and quality that lasts decades, They treat their customers like people. That's rare, and it's getting rarer.
I want to build a legacy like that.
I've watched fitness apps and software get worse over my career: gradual enshitification, hording of personal data, and worse, losing the point of a fitness app. Indie Rowing Collective is my answer to that. No outside investment, no board telling me to monetize harder, no dark patterns.
I've been writing code since I was a kid. This isn't a pivot or a project - it's just what I do. Building something I'd actually want to use, for a sport I genuinely love, with no one to answer to but the people using it: that's the dream.
I believe a rowing game - a light-hearted one, not a venture-capital-backed project, can be a real gathering place. Somewhere people show up for each other, share training logs, push each other to work hard, and celebrate progress that matters to them.
That community is what I'm building toward.
