Row & Ride

You might recognize Kerry Connolly as a familiar face on morning television, but there's more than one side to this news anchor and former All-American athlete. Connolly recently opened Row & Ride, a boutique rowing and cycling studio that puts her personal motto—"If it doesn't challenge you, it can't change you"—into action.

At Row & Ride, workouts are designed to be dynamic, challenging, and fun. As the name suggests, the studio hosts rowing and stationary cycling classes for all skill levels, including sessions that help beginners learn the basics and best practices of both workouts. As rowing and cycling are low-impact exercises, students can burn calories without putting unnecessary strain on their joints and muscles. The cycling classes are held in a darkened studio with a large projection screen that can project outdoor scenery, music videos, concerts, or colored lights that change to the beat of the music. Riders can enjoy the benefits of stadium seating with a clear view of the instructor and zero chance of being run off the road by a horse and buggy.
