I found the content interesting, and the training programs useful. Am currently going through the December base training program, and can feel that I’m getting a lot of benefit from it. This is even through I’ve competed in head races all (Australian) winter, and had performed well in summer races prior to starting the program.

I did the sculling intensive program last year, and also found it useful.

The downside is the connectivity of the platform. It seems to take twice as long to load as any other website, and I've routinely find that I’m not recorded as enrolled on the annual subscription, although it’s still less than a year since I subscribed. The problem went away a couple of times, then last time it didn’t, but was fixed after I logged a job. It’s happened again, and I can’t get access to the support site (just a blank page). I’ll think hard before subscribing again..

A diverse range of topics covered that is specific to Masters Rowing. Not only technical or fitness topics specific to matters rowers but other practical topics like club house management and other items of interest.
The paid items are well worth it, such as seasonal training plans, which I find extremely useful as a self coached master (a not uncommon situation for a masters rower) that builds me up to a racing season (regardless of hemisphere) and is varied to alleviate boredom.  Then there are one off items, for example, rowing with data or rigging for masters, all of which have delivered real value to me, as well as being highly interesting and delivered by world experts in their fields.   Although I haven't tried it yet there is also individual coaching available from the founders who are both experts in coaching, especially for masters.  Today I also ordered a Spacer Placer Tool that the founders had come up with, another exam of innovate practical item offered by Fasters Masters, albeit this is useful for anyone in rowing using shared boats.
Finally the founders, Rebecca and Marlene are always very approachable and friendly.
🤩

A truly brilliant resource that understands, supports and encourages Masters to meet their full potential. I'm subscribed to a couple of their programmes and access the podcasts regularly. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Our club has excellent support for masters rowers. Nevertheless, I find Faster Masters to be an excellent supplement to the training programs and coaching available at the club.  I row a single and having  the extra drills and in depth analysis of the rowing stroke provided by Faster Masters, in mind while I am alone on the water to be a great supplement.
Rebecca Caroe and Marlene Royle have overcome my early skepticism about the format and content.

I just love the knowledge shared by Faster Masters. And I love support female coaches. I've taken an online coaching course and gained so much. Thanks!

Good information for mature rowers.  We aren't all 20+ somethings anymore.  Our needs are different.
