FAQS
I AM BRAND NEW TO ROWING, CAN I COME TO REBEL?
YES! WE'D LOVE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE ROWER! COME EARLY TO CLASS AND WE WILL MAKE SURE YOU'RE READY TO ROW. OR COME TO OUR FREE LEARN-TO-ROW CLASS, “CONCEPTS” AND YOU'LL BE FULLY VERSED ON THE INS AND OUTS OF THE ERG.
I'M A WOMAN, WILL LIFTING WEIGHTS MAKE ME “LARGER” OR “BULKY”?
ABSOLUTELY NOT. WEIGHT TRAINING IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF ANY WOMAN'S PROGRAM, AND BUILDING MUSCLE IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND SUSTAINABLE WAY OF BOOSTING YOUR METABOLISM TO BURN MORE FAT. IF YOU TRULY WANT TO “TONE” AND “SCULPT”, LEGITIMATE WEIGHT TRAINING ALONG WITH HIGH INTENSITY CARDIO (ROWING!) IS THE PROVEN METHOD.

IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT TO A CLASS OR SESSION THAT YOU HAVE SCHEDULED, WE KINDLY ASK THAT YOU GIVE US A 24 HOUR NOTICE TO CANCEL YOUR SPOT.

OF COURSE THERE ARE ALWAYS EXCEPTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT US WITH QUESTIONS.
