asensei rowing talks to the monitor on your rowing machine, analyzes your performance and uses that to inform your practice. Are you losing power at higher stroke rates? Are you losing length when you’re tired? Do you find it hard to hold lower stroke rates consistently? Are you rushing the recovery? Compensating for poor leg drive with over-use of your arms?
asensei knows. And she’ll be sure to let you know.
Practice. Perfected.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
“I was fortunate enough to have great coaches from the very beginning of my rowing career. This meant I wasn’t taking thousands of bad rowing strokes, ingraining bad habits. The potential for asensei to provide quality feedback before bad habits are formed is really exciting", Helen Glover, 2x Olympic Gold Medallist and World #1 Rower.
"Just when you thought (sports) technology couldn't get any cooler, along comes asensei", CBS Television
"... the next frontier in the fitness tech revolution ... a wildly ambitious goal ... able to guide you through everything from form and recovery to metrics and goals while improving your individual results ... future of personal training", Men's Health
Here's what users had to say:
"someone keeping an eye on you the whole time is really cool because ... it keeps you honest, keeps you on track in a way that I don't think a coach normally can unless you are doing a one on one session, so it was the benefit of a one on one, with the class dynamic, which I really like!"
"It's a cool product. I've never ever seen anything like that. In 5 minutes I learned how to row, I thought I was doing it right, but I wasn't"
"(asensei) said don't worry there's a bunch of exercises I'm going to give to you afterwards that are going to help you on that. ... that's amazing. ... this is not just about now, it's like building a relationship."

Hard to use
Really difficult to use. The user interface is cryptic and convoluted. I was trying to do a test work out, but never actually made it there. Maybe stick with standard UX patterns rather than try to reinvent the wheel. Perhaps if you have a lot of time and you’re very patient, this app would work well for you.

Great app but room for improvement
I love the workout in this app I have been using it for 3 years now and it taught me how to row. The workouts are interesting and way more satisfying than having no guidance.
Room for improvement would be allowing you to select what program you wanted to complete in the next workout function. I really only like johans workouts so it bugs me that I can’t keep track of which one is next. I find Eric’s workouts to be a bit more tailored to advanced users or men as his guidance to start the damper at 5-6 is never going to be appropriate for women.
It would also be good to have functionality to see side by side previous workouts of the same session to easily track improvements.

Love it!!
Only my second work out and absolutely love it!! The time goes quickly and I can see if I keep it up I’ll see my fitness improve over the 6 week program.

– this is truly the way to train on a rower
I’ve been working out in gyms since I was about 13 years of age, and I used to run at home from about the same age. This is probably the most motivated I have been to continuously use. One particular piece of fitness equipment sessions are the real-time measuring performance correcting/Wright and doing helpful tips along the way. Excellent product, definitely recommend and iPhone holder. I finally set it up yesterday and did my first session this morning. Amazing!! Even though I have been doing rowing for about 10 years on indoor rowers, without any tuition using, the training guide has already corrected my stroke, and I’m getting better. Call Workout already. Having world champion coach, giving direction and getting feedback on the fly is absolutely the best automated coaching you could possibly have. I hope the rest of the sessions continue like this. I definitely recommend this app.

Great workout, bad app interface
Recently got the Concept 2 rower, thought I would try out asensei, bought a month of subscription which didn’t start out well as it didn’t come up on my account, had to ask Support to fix the subscription to my account. I love the coaches and the workouts, however I find the app extremely slow in going from one part to another, the workouts take forever to download and sometime they don’t even finish download. I would be waiting for the download and lose precious workout time, often resorting to doing the same workout that I have previously completed. Asensei - please fix your app, it’s clunky, has a non intuitive interface and terribly slow. I give the workouts 5 stars, albeit for the app which I give an overall 3.

Great workouts…very buggy app
The workouts and trainers are great however there are a number of very irritating bugs that do not get fixed including
1. Frequent freezing/ crashing on selecting/ starting a workout (on wifi and 5G)
2. Music reverts from your selection to Feed.fm which you do not discover until the workout has started
3. Big changes in volume. On one workout you have the right balance between music/ trainer voice and the next it has completely changed and you cannot adjust withoutstopping the workout

Got a rower ? Get asensei
You won't find a better app to help get the best out of yourself or the rower. Not matter age or ability this is an app that gets you results and gets you excited. . If

Great content and motivational tool
Awesome content and great tool to stay motivated.
I do find it pretty awkward navigating through the app though. The txt and reply interface provides absolutely no benefit. It’s always hard to understanding what workouts I have already completed and review my performance in the previous workouts. When you click on a previous workout it often restarts the workout when you just want to see how you went.
5 stars for the actual content. Simplify the app structure and visibility of previous performance and this will be a winner

More WaterRower please
Great workouts based on the Concept 2. I’m able to connect my WaterRower S4 and follow along however constant references to the Concept 2 and adjustment of settings are annoying. Any WaterRower based programs in the pipeline?

Great app
After a 6 year hiatus from rowing with my C2 gathering dust in the garage I recently discovered Asensei and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the app. Excellent concept and clearly filling a gap in the market. The app works really well and I’ve been pleasantly surprised about the seamless integration with my C2. Eric is an excellent coach - I’ve really enjoyed his recommit program as I reintroduce myself back into rowing and I’m about to start his refocus program. My only ask is that Asensei add a longer distance program for 10k - half marathon.

Rowing workout
After 14 years of no exercise 🙀I’ve just purchased a rowing machine and am finding Eric a top guide and the program a suitable level…it’s a great starting point and I’m already feeling proud of myself!
I’ll leave another review in a couple of weeks, in the hope that my enthusiasm and fitness levels are still high! BigTallBlondeBird🤞🏼

Rower
Terrible app, takes way to long to set up I ended up deleting it
2021-08-25
Annoying
Too much auto bot conversations
Can’t seem to go back a bit in sessions
Not really user friendly
Might just be getting used to it ??

Awesome app
I’ve been using asensei for about a month and I love it so far. Excellent variety of workouts, easy to use and works very well with the concept 2. I don’t usually write reviews but this app deserved it for me. It appears to be getting better and better. You don’t have to stick to any of the programs but almost finished recommit and it has been really rewarding.
Keep up the good work!

Pushes you to row better longer
When I first bought my Concept2 a year ago I was warned by a friend that the biggest challenge is to keep motivated to get on and use it. I thought what??? A month or two later it was not getting much use. This App makes it fun and challenging to keep rowing on the C2. I like the workouts and interactive feedback from the app as it connects via bluetooth to the PM5 monitor. The tips at the end of each workout are positive and encouraging. Fairly pricey subscription but you can pay by the month if you are unsure whether to commit for the whole year.
You need a mobile phone, phone cradle and a C2. Could be used at home or gym.
Love how it has got me back into rowing.

Slickly designed easy to connect
Very sickly designed app (much better and ergData) and connected amazingly easily to my PM5. Not sure I’m totally sold on the chat-style interface but I guess we’ll see.

Great concept, needs a dashboard
Love this concept - makes time on the rowing machine so much more engaging and time flies so much faster than rowing without asensei. This is the beginnings of a great app but needs more intuitive navigation and a simple dashboard that lets you see quickly and easily on one page how frequently you’ve been rowing and how your stats are improving (eg. some charts). Would also be great to be able to do live races against other users over the app. Great work so far - keep the updates and improvements coming!

Amazing full body workout
I've been a rower in the past but this app takes things to the next level. Great way to train on your own with so many different workouts to follow from sprints to long distance efforts.
Fantastic app and highly recommend!!!
2020-05-14
Brilliant
Massively increases the functionality of your Concept2 with personalised coaching and a great user interface. Highly recommended.

1st workout
Just finished my first workout - awesome to have a ‘coach’ there and great music. Back is a bit sore, might need to pace myself at 41 years!

Huge potential
I already know the basics of ‘how to row’ from a couple of years of Crossfit, but having recently bought a C2 rower for home use, this is the perfect companion.
I love the way the recorded training and guidance is combined with real time feedback from the app as you progress through a session.
Pretty certain I’ll be taking out a paid subscription once I’ve completed the free introductory sessions.
Well done guys, this is a game changer!

Great App
I’ve been using this program for a few weeks and have really enjoyed it. I’ve previously used an interactive 2000m program to improve my 2km time but from following Eric, my 2km times have started dropping considerably over a relatively short period. I’d seriously consider the paid version when it becomes available.
