“My favorite work with athletes is teaching the new skills of rowing, and helping everyone find that athlete within: crushing that workout they thought was too hard, achieving new goals or just finding the fun in active, healthy living for the first time!”
Head Coach / Owner : Martha Laugen
Martha brings over 29 years of competitive rowing and coaching experience to Catalyst Rowing Fitness. She is a Certified Indoor Rowing Instructor with Concept2 / UCanRow2 and holds Level II coaching certification from US Rowing, plus past certification with American Council on Exercise. Martha has worked as a rowing coach and personal trainer in the Madison area since 2009 after many years on the east coast.
