Module 3: Coar, Crew and Regatta

As a Milo Reformer Instructor, you are not expected to be able to lead our other training classes or concepts. Nonetheless, we think it is important that you are aware of the class styles that Milo offers to understand how Reformer fits within our offering and briefly answer any questions clients might have, or point them in the direction of someone who can give them more detail.

We believe rowing is not only a great way to challenge the whole body, but is a form of conditioning that develops mental resilience and determination. Rowing works nearly all of the muscles in the body, and does it with minimal impact, meaning that you support your joint health whilst following a rigorous training programme.

Milo and the Bull members can experience our Waterrowers mainly in our 3 rowing specific classes: Coar, Crew and Regatta. Each one has its own unique aim and style, challenging the body and mind with a comprehensive programme.

Coar

“Coar is one of Milo and the Bull’s signature classes. Expect 45 minutes of high intensity interval training. In Coar, cardiovascular training is combined with progressive strength training on the gym floor. These classes are designed to build strength, stamina and resilience.”

Following the same 12 week cycle as our Strength classes, Coar presents a third day in the week to dial in your lifts and work specifically on improving work capacity, building muscle and developing explosive power throughout the whole body. Scheduled for every Monday, this is the class that kick-starts the week.

Remember, every 4 weeks we enter a new phase in our 12 week cycle and so the format of of the Coar session will change. The blocks can vary a lot in size, meaning you may have to swap the rowers with the floor far more frequently over the duration of the class.

Crew

“Expect longer intervals on the rower combined with carefully selected power focussed movements on the floor, designed to help improve rowing efficiency. This class is designed to test your endurance”

Crew is a cult favourite at Milo and the Bull. This class helps our members dial in their rowing form with drills focussed specifically on stroke rate (SPM) and power.

Regatta

“Our Saturday Special. This competitive workout will focus the mind and the body. On Saturday's our Milo Members work as a team. This class will combine rowing based competitions with floor based challenges to complete along the way. Expect a fun and interactive workout with your team mates. Remember there's no “I” in team.”

Regatta is the Saturday morning class that puts everything together that our members have worked on throughout the week. It’s a fast paced, energetic rowing focussed class that is always team based, and always competitive.
