Happy Thanksgiving NMRC!
We are grateful to have so many dedicated members, coaches, volunteers and donors! We have so much to look forward to.
Row-Vember was a success for both new and experienced rowers! Let’s keep up the momentum!
Join NMRC for Winter Indoor Rowing sessions at the Sleeping Bear Bay Club in Maple City. We have three sessions scheduled per week from December 2 through April on:
Mondays at 6 - 7 pm
Wednesdays at 6 - 7 pm
Saturdays at 9 - 10 am
Each session will include a warm up, a workout based on time and a cool down. We will focus on proper rowing form and timing, increasing fitness and having fun with fellow members.
Sessions will be led by experienced rowers or coaches who are volunteering their time. Doors open 10 minutes before each session. Only clean dry gym shoes allowed in the gym. All outdoor shoes need to remain in the hallway. No exceptions.
An email notice will go out if there is a cancellation due to weather or illness. Please check before making the drive if questionable.
There are limited erg seats available for each one hour session. To reserve a seat, you must register AND pay before attending. Here is how to register and pay:
Log in to iCrew. (If you haven’t registered for iCrew, do that first with this link iCrew Registration)
Check to make sure you have been added to the 2024/25 Winter Training Team. Join the team in iCrew or by emailing mindy@northernmichiganrowing.club.
In iCrew under Your Home> Documents, sign the Sleeping Bear Bay Club Waiver and the NMRC Waiver. (These are blocking documents and you will not be able to toggle in prior to signing)
In iCrew under Your Home>Attendance Plan, toggle in* to the date you plan to attend. (Also located in Session Calendar)
In iCrew under Your Home>Payments (and in Club Home>Club Store), pay $250 for the full 5 month indoor season.
— OR —
In iCrew under Club Home>Club Store, pay $15 before any session you want to attend.
* We have some rules for toggling in for sessions:
- Paid membership fee: Please be considerate and only toggle in two weeksin advance if you have paid for the $250 membership.
- Drop-Ins: If you are planning on dropping in, please wait until 48 hours to toggle in before the session.
- Please show up if you toggle in because of the erg limitation. This is very important to the other club members. We request 24 hours prior to the session to toggle out. Things always come up like illness, so if it is within the 24 hours, please send an iCrew note to coaches (the leaders of the workout will get that message).
Again, whether you pay per session or for the season, you must reserve a seat BEFORE attending any session, so plan ahead to get a seat!
Our winter training fees cover the cost of the space at Sleeping Bear Bay Club, primarily, as well as the upkeep and purchases of rowing machines. We just added one more Concept 2 rower* to our fleet!
*If you have a Concept 2 Indoor Rowing machine you would consider selling, loaning, or donating for the winter training program, please contact mindy@northernmichiganrowing.club. We have a ton of interest for our winter training program and we could use a few more rowers.
If you have any questions about NMRC, the winter or on-water rowing seasons or anything else rowing related, please be sure to reach out!
Cheers,
The NMRC Crew
