WHO IS THIS FOR?
If you have been training hard but are not sure that you're training in the best way for you... then this program is for you.
If you have been following a generic plan as part of a squad (or no plan at all), second-guessing your intensity, feel you lack structure, or want to make sure that you are training in the best way for you - then this program will provide all of that clarity and more.
To make the most of the program you should be in a position to:
-
Train at least 3 times per week as part of the program
-
Have been rowing for at least 2 years.
This is for you if
You're Ready To...
Train with purpose
No more random workouts or guesswork. Every session is built around your physiology and testing data so you know exactly what drives your performance forward.
Build Speed that Lasts
You’ll develop aerobic depth, power, and technical skill in a way that fits your schedule, so you get faster without sacrificing recovery or life balance.
Make Consistent Progress
No more months of training with nothing to show for it. With the right mix of intensity and recovery, you will break past plateaus and keep improving - even if you're "past your prime"
Know Where to Focus
Your testing and feedback identify the single biggest bottleneck holding you back, so every session has a clear purpose.
Row with confidence
When your plan is built around your body, your goals and to a schedule you can actually follow, you don't need to hope for a good result - you can be confident of it

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this program for? This program is built for busy rowers who struggle to fit in the 10+ sessions per week expected of typical high performance programs. The system I use is especially effective for Masters rowers, but is also highly effective with rowers of all ages.
Can't I just get a free plan online? Maybe, you can find generic training programs online. But the reality is generic free plans don’t account for you — your physiology, your schedule, your technique gaps, or your goals. That’s what makes this different. This isn’t just training its coaching, using a proven framework that has delivered amazing results for rowers from 13 - 73.
Will this work if I already train in a crew? Yes. I am able to adapt training programs to suit whatever commitments you have. There are also many ways to help you optimise your performance beyond simply training.
What if I am sick or need to travel for an extended time If you are unable to train for an extended period the program can be paused. Any weeks you have already paid for will roll over until you are able to recommence.
What country do I need to be in to do this program? This is for anyone in the world that wants to achieve their best rowing results, in a sustainable and reliable way.
I have specific health issues. Is that a problem? No. As long as you have been cleared to train, and are able to advise of what you can and cannot do, the program can be adjusted to suit any injury or health issues.
What equipment do I need for this program? Your program will be written based on what you have access to - ergo, boat, weights or cross training equipment.
Will I be working with Sam or someone else? All of the rowers in TopCrew Academy receive their 1:1 coaching from me personally, all your programs are created for you from scratch.
