Story
Why RowFit?FOUNDER/COACH
Clarence Perez Diaz founded RowFit in October 2018 at the Rowing Club Lausanne (RCL). RowFit was a first in Switzerland and remains the only place in the country where this unique training is offered.
With five knee surgeries behind her from a volleyball career, extensive experience across multiple sports at various levels, and a PhD in Sport Science focused on athlete health protection, Clarence launched RowFit as a complete, low-impact workout grounded in precise technique and long-term physical wellbeing designed to be accessible to all levels.
The collaboration with the Rowing-Club Lausanne (RCL) has been — and continues to be — fundamental. Not only because we are based in a truly exceptional lakeside location, but also because RowFit’s technical rowing foundation is fully aligned with RCL’s core values. The RCL has been extremely supportive of this vision from the very beginning.
Over the years, the RowFit community has grown steadily, and the performance level of our crew has improved significantly — a clear reflection of the long-term physical wellbeing benefits of RowFit. Several coaches with expertise in physical conditioning, mobility and rowing have contributed to shaping RowFit, and their input has been instrumental in the programme’s continued evolution.
Today, the RowFit team remains dedicated to promoting health and sport through our innovative and evolving training programme.
