Youth & Adult Rowing Classes with Sarasota Crew
2025-08-04 - 2027-08-04 | Regatta Island, 5851 Nathan Benderson Circle, Sarasota, FL, 34235, United States
Empowering Lives. One Rower At A Time.
More than a simple slogan, it is the reason Sarasota Crew was created in 2002, why we have grown into one of the largest rowing programs in the country and why we succeed in not only producing national championships, but making a positive difference with every rower we encounter. Rowers from all walks of life come to us, not because we focus on the importance of winning like other organizations, but because we create a healthy environment – socially, physically, emotionally – and teach the proper skill set to empower every rower to conquer the next challenge in their life.
Whether you are a seasoned youth or adult rower, or a novice, Sarasota Crew has a program to fit your needs, interest, and skill level.

We focuses on various dance styles, including jazz, ballet, and hip-hop, to create a high-energy workout experience. SHiNE Dance Fitness emphasizes community and connection among our members. We aim to make workouts feel like a fun social event rather than a chore. Our classes promote mental health alongside physical fitness, encouraging participants to enjoy the process of moving their bodies.

UPLIFT STRENGTH TRAINING:
An UPLIFT class starts with a cardio warm-up and transitions to standing routines with equipment, alternating between upper and lower body. A balance track is included after you’ve fatigued your muscles which is challenging, rewarding, and a welcome change of pace before transitioning to the mat. We complete the workout with routines for the core, booty, abs, and chest and a cool down with deep stretching. This UPLIFTING experience leaves you feeling strong and confident.
