A packed sunrise row feels great: until you notice the same three ergs sitting empty all week. Indoor rowing is intense, and when the soreness sets in or the calendar gets busy, motivated members quietly go quiet. Every rower who stops booking is a class-pack that never renews.
- Members catch fire in their first few classes, then drift away once the novelty of the erg wears off.
- No-shows and last-minute cancellations leave paid-for seats empty and your schedule unpredictable.
- Rowing is punishing enough that members skip the between-class training that actually builds progress.
- Once a class-pack lapses, there's nothing pulling a member back through your door.
How Cadoo solves it
Real money on the line, real reason to book
Members put a commitment deposit on hitting a goal: a weekly step target or a set of strength workouts between rows. When there is a real commitment on the line, showing up stops being optional and your seats stay filled.
Cheat-proof verification your members can't fake
CadooVision counts every rep. It scores form straight from the phone camera (pushups, squats, situps, pullups, dips, and plank holds) while daily steps sync from Apple Health or Google Health Connect. Every workout in the game is verified, so wins are earned, not claimed. Get fit. Inspire friends. Get paid.
Leagues, leaderboards, and shareable wins
Turn your studio into a season-long competition with leagues and leaderboards that keep members chasing the next rank. Every victory becomes a shareable, skinned highlight clip: free word-of-mouth that brings new rowers to your door.
Frequently asked questions
How does Cadoo help Rowing Studios?
Cadoo runs verified, accountability fitness games for your members so motivation doesn't fade between classes. Members commit to reaching goals, prove their workouts on camera or through their health app, and compete in leagues, which keeps them booking, training, and renewing their class-packs.
Do members need to row on camera for it to count?
No. CadooVision verifies strength and core work (pushups, squats, situps, pullups, dips, and plank holds) with AI rep counting and form scoring. Daily steps come from Apple Health or Google Health Connect. It's built to reward the between-class training that makes your rowers stronger on the erg.
