BUILT ON THE CARDIO CODE
A stronger engine. For whatever comes next.
Your next race. Your next challenge. The life you want to be fit for. Bring your ambition. Give your training a purpose.
THE ROW FORGE DIFFERENCE
Your effort. Measured in watts.
Built on Dr. Kenneth Jay’s The Cardio Code, Row Forge connects your tested power to personal workout targets and purposeful training.
See progress on a clear scale.
A 10-watt increase is the same increase in output at any level. With pace, each faster second requires a different increase in power.
Start with your own baseline.
Your Viking Power Profile reveals power across short and longer efforts. Row Forge uses your performance to guide watt targets and what to train next.
Why lead with watts?
Heart rate shows your body’s response; time shows duration. Pace expresses the same output as watts on a different scale. We lead with watts to make the prescribed work and changes in output easier to understand.

THE COACH BEHIND ROW FORGE
Wayne Harlan
Cardio Code-certified coach and founder of Innovative Fitness & Rehabilitation in Fresno, California. Wayne’s coaching approach begins with assessment, including VO₂max testing.
“I knew that program deserved to reach more than just my own clients, and the only way to scale it was through an app.”
Row Forge brings that assessment-first approach to your Concept2: establish your baseline, use your Viking Power Profile for personal training targets, and review the work to guide your next step.
Meet Wayne and read why he built Row Forge →What athletes value about Row Forge
“Row Forge broke my fitness plateau. I was finally able to lose fat, build muscle, go the distance in other sports, and improve my quality of life. Intelligence helps me train consistently, and I keep getting better every week!”
Jose’s personal experience. Individual experiences vary.
“After testing all of the areas from 100m to “The Hour of Power” you can see the specific area needed to improve specific distances or timed rows.”
“Excellent workout routines in this app. A workout for all levels of rowing. Tap. Row. Go it’s that easy.”
“There are plenty of row apps out there but I've never seen one that customizes your targeted watts etc to have you properly chase goals and then it automatically moves your goals for maximum progress.”

QUESTIONS
BEFORE YOU START
Why pay for Row Forge if I can already track my workouts?
Tracking tells you what you did. Row Forge helps you decide what to do next: fitness tests reveal your performance profile, structured workouts use your personal targets, and Intelligence explains recommendations and completed sessions. The value is direction for your training, alongside your workout history.
What equipment do I need?
Use a Concept2 RowErg, SkiErg, or BikeErg with a PM5. Connect it to the mobile app to follow workouts and save your results.
What happens after my 14-day trial?
Eligible web memberships start with a 14-day trial and require a payment card. After the trial, your selected Regular plan renews at $24.99 per month or $124.99 every six months. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid a charge. Checkout confirms your eligibility and renewal terms before you subscribe.
What does Row Forge Intelligence do?
It uses your tests and recent workouts to build a plan across your training zones. It suggests what to do next, explains your workouts, and answers training questions.
How do the web portal and mobile app work together?
Connect to your PM5 and do workouts in the mobile app. Use the app or website to find workouts and see your progress.
How do I get a Row Forge coach?
Create an account or sign in and submit your goals and general availability. There is no charge to request coaching. After a coach accepts, you receive an email with a secure package-selection link. Review current pricing and pay through Stripe to activate coaching, then book your included check-ins in the app or on the web. Unused check-ins expire at billing-month end.
Is Personalized Coaching included in Regular membership?
Personalized Coaching is a separate monthly subscription that includes membership. Both packages add an assigned coach with read-only access to your performance and included check-ins. Full Coaching also adds direct messaging and written coach feedback on logged workouts.
What if I cancel or ask for a refund?
For Regular membership, if you get a 14-day web trial, cancel before it ends to avoid a charge. Row Forge does not offer refunds for web memberships. For App Store or Google Play purchases, refund requests are handled by the store under its refund policy. For coaching, you may request a refund if Row Forge misses a scheduled session. Authorized staff review the request and may issue a full billing-month refund.
