British Rowing Powers the LiveRowing App
Denver, CO (PRWEB) August 12, 2016 -- Today, LiveRowing has announced a new partnership with British Rowing.
The LiveRowing app, which has been developed by a three man start-up technology company in Denver, CO is tailored for rowing machine athletes.

Once connected to a indoor rowing machine the app allows you to access features including:
- racing others over the internet through a challenge system, anywhere in the world;
- the ability to build and share custom rowing machine workouts;
- follow set training programs.
British Rowing will be powering LiveRowing by providing featured workouts that will help people get the most out of the indoor rowing machine when using the LiveRowing app.
