ERG ARMY X REFIT TRAINING

ERG EDUCATION WORKSHOP

The ergs are some of the most misunderstood and under-coached tools in training. Yet they play a huge role in performance, confidence, enjoyment, and race-day outcomes.

When athletes understand how to use the ergs properly, everything shifts.
They move better.
They waste less energy.
They recover faster.
And they stop dreading stations that should be building their engine.

This workshop is designed for anyone who uses the SkiErg, RowErg or BikeErg in training. You do not need to be a coach. If you are an athlete (everyday to elite), a coach, or both, you’ll leave with a clear, practical understanding of how to work with the ergs instead of fighting them.

You’ll develop a skill-first approach to the ergs that improves efficiency, confidence, and performance. Together we’ll cover how to:

• Use damper settings intelligently to hit metres and calories sooner
• Apply simple technique cues that immediately improve efficiency and reduce injury risk
• Build fitness and engine on the ergs without unnecessary fatigue
• Pace sprint vs engine efforts more effectively
• Recover smarter post-erg so performance does not fall apart later in the session or race
• Reframe your relationship with the ergs so they become a strength, not a liability

This education is practical, accessible, and immediately applicable to both training and competition.
