You’ll receive a weekly email with four workouts to be completed on your own time, with your own equipment. All workouts will be written based on the assumption you have an erg at home – if you need to modify any workout based on what you have available to you, we can assist.

Registration is open now on Regatta Central, under Teams and Groups.

Do you enjoy training with teammates instead of on your own? Do you want to gain fitness, strength, and skill to bring back to the water this spring or summer? Are you looking for something fun to do through the long New England winter? Then come join the GBR Masters Winter Training program! We will use a variety of conditioning methods, including erging, functional strength circuits, mobility and yoga.

Masters Winter Training 2026
January 5th to April 3rd


Masters will have two options for winter training
Uncoached Open Erg – 6am to 7:15am – $200
Coached Program – 7:30am to 8:45am – $390

The Uncoached Open Erg option is best suited for experienced athletes who are comfortable training independently. There will be a training program designed by a coach provided, with a suggested workout for each day, but a coach will generally not be on hand during the workout session itself. Athletes must be have a GBR Masters Annual Membership to participate in this open erg session.

The Coached Program is best suited for less experienced athletes, or athletes looking to make significant techincal improvements on the erg, as a coach will almost always be on hand to guide everyone through the workout and help with equipment set up. This group is also great for anyone who has the flexibility in their schedule to sleep in a little bit!

The fee for our Masters Winter Training programs allows us to rent our dedicated indoor training space, and provide coaching for adults through the off season.

All practices will be held in our Indoor Training Space in the Cocheco Mill Building in Downtown Dover.
