Indoor Rowing – Structured Erg Workouts, Live Splits, and Training Load | Ride Cave

New: Rowing

Ride Cave rows.

Connect your Concept2 PM5 or Bluetooth rowing machine and train the way rowers train: by split, watts, and stroke rate. Structured pieces, live targets, rowing zones, and every row counted in the same training picture as your rides.

Free for everyone. Bluetooth on every platform.
Rowing on Ride Cave with live split, watts, and stroke rate

On the erg

A rowing screen built for rowing.

Not a bike screen with the labels swapped.

Split, watts, and rate

Split /500m, power, stroke rate, average split, strokes, calories, and time or distance left in the piece. Add SPI to see the power behind every stroke.

Rowing Target

Hold split, power, and stroke rate in the target pocket. The target turns green when you are on it, and coaching cues point you back when you drift.

All out when it counts

Test pieces switch to an all-out view, rests get their own rest screen, and a beep and 3-2-1 countdown call the start of every interval.

Harder or easier

Nudge intensity and stroke rate up or down mid-workout, and set how tight the target pocket is in Settings.

Your screen, your way

Rowing has its own data fields and panels, a built-in rowing view, and the same custom layouts, voice control, and alerts riders already use.

Your rower, over Bluetooth

The Concept2 PM5 and other standard Bluetooth smart rowers connect directly. iConsole, FitShow, and Echelon rowers work too, though some models report fewer metrics.

Workouts

Pieces, the way rowers write them.

Build your own, or type it out.

Time, distance, or calorie pieces. Targets as a split, watts, or a rowing zone. Stroke rate targets and caps, timed rests or rest as needed, and ramps.

  • Drag pieces in the rowing builder, or write them line by line in Turbo Builder
  • Instant workouts: Steady State, Threshold, 500m Repeats, Pyramid, 2k Prep, and more
  • Atlas, the Ride Cave AI coach, can write a rowing workout from a sentence

Zones and load that understand rowing.

Rowing gets its own threshold, separate from your cycling FTP, with five rowing zones built on it: UT2, UT1, AT, TR, and AN. Every row is scored for training load next to your rides.

  • Row the 2k Test and Ride Cave suggests your rowing threshold, ready to apply in one tap
  • Split trends, best efforts, time in zone, stroke rate, and pacing in the Data Lab
