Based in the Heart of Marlborough

Based in the scenic town of Picton, our club is perfectly positioned at Shelley Beach, offering stunning views and direct access to the harbour. Marlborough, known for its breathtaking landscapes and vibrant community, provides the ideal backdrop for rowing and outdoor fitness. Our location ensures that every session on the water is not just a workout but an experience, surrounded by the natural beauty of the region.

Rowing for All Levels

At Picton Rowing Club and Gym, we believe rowing is for everyone. That’s why we offer a six-week learn-to-row course, held once or twice a year, designed for complete beginners. No prior experience is needed—just a willingness to try something new and get active on the water. Our experienced coaches guide participants through the basics, ensuring a safe and enjoyable introduction to the sport. It’s the perfect way to dip your oar into rowing and join our supportive Marlborough community.

Affordable Gym Memberships for Everyone

Beyond the water, our club also operates a small community gym, accessible 24/7 with a separate membership. We keep costs as low as possible, offering monthly memberships for individuals without the hassle of contracts. Whether you’re supplementing your rowing training or simply focusing on fitness, our gym provides the facilities you need, including showering options.
