"I used to avoid the ergs like the plague, making excuses left, right and centre because I found them extremely difficult and exhausting. My confidence was at an all-time low until Jane captured my full attention during the seminar at RAW Fitness. Jane’s positive energy was contagious and her powerful coaching techniques were like light bulb moments for me. Jane you have contributed to my immediate progress and my overall confidence on both the row and ski, and I just can’t thank you enough!" - Tasha . P (RAW Fitness BOP)
