Flywheel Fitness hosted several National Team hopefuls this past weekend. 28 high school rowers traveled to Austin from throughout the US to spend 3 days training on the water and the Indoor Rowing machines. The camp, held annually, is open by invitation only, and allows the national team coaches to work with the girls on fitness and technique, prior to beginning the actual selection process. 

After completing a Friday afternoon and two Saturday morning rows on the water, the group headed to Flywheel for the Saturday afternoon workout. The girls executed a 1 minute max watts test, as well as a 4 x 10 minute workout. Exemplifying what it means to be a student athelte – those not rowing were finishing up on homework in the sweat-filled studio.

For Flywheel Fitness members who are wondering just how strong these future World Champions are – this 18 and under group was expected to stay above 200 watts for the course of the 40 minute workout. Inspiring!
