Citius-Remex ProW Seat Pad
More Comfort, Better Performance!
ABOUT EASY GOING ROWING
Rowing should be Easier Going.
I'm William Esterhuizen, and I have been a competitive rower ever since I started rowing in high school. Distance rowing of any kind can hurt your "butt" and if you're like me, you need something to help you finish the workout. Over the years I have purchased and evaluated several seat pads and found none really worked for me until I tried the Citius-Remex ProW seat pad. What a difference! If you want to row in more comfort and go faster then you should give this seat pad a chance to show what you can accomplish. I'm so convinced about the Citius-Remex ProW seat pads that I'm now the distributor/sales agent for the US and Canada and why I started Easy Going Rowing.

What EXACTLY is a ProW?
Concept2, Hydrow, Row Perfect Dynamic, Coffey SimulatOar, BioRower, or rowing shell - The Citius-Remex ProW works with all rowing machines.
The ProW has an innovative shape that relieves bottom pain and helps to improve your rowing workout. It differs from conventional rowing seats in several ways:
-
The ProW has a ‘saddle’ projection in the middle, and the holes are elliptical to create optimal pressure distribution.

-
The ProW has an opening for the tailbone and a projection in the back 
to help to improve your technique. The projection simply makes it easier to sit up in the finish and go from stroke to recovery phase. 

-
Hard rowing seats often hurt, slip and slide causing frustration and a disrupted and spoiled workout session. In contrast, the ProW is produced inflexible material and has a non-slip surface increasing the comfort and effectiveness of your performance. 

-
ProW accommodates various body forms and pushing techniques, which otherwise can result in numb legs, pain, and injuries. 

-
ProW was developed and tested by Olympic and World Champions. Eskild Ebbesen, Steffen Bonde, and Jacob Barsøe, with over 50 years of combined rowing experience and knowledge between them they worked with medical professionals to develop this unique seat pad.

Frank Biller, The University Of Virginia's coach for the men's program had this to say about ProW seat pads.
"It's more than just a cushy seat pad. The ProW is different than any other pad on the market and helped my crews to row better on the erg and faster in the boat. It was more intuitive for the rowers on the ergs as well as we were able to improve the coordination of the rowers (between the glutes and hamstrings) on the machine and in the boat".
Less injury time means more quality training sessions. "The ProW helped eliminate injury and the significant training days that would have been lost to the program".
"We purchased a seat pad for every rower in the program in 2021 and made it mandatory for use on the erg, and optional in the boat. The results speak for themselves".

I row on both the C2 (1 year with 2.5 million meters) and Peloton rower (approaching 2 years and 5 million meters) I row mostly endurance rows 6-7 days a week- 5-20k a day.
As you can imagine that much seat time can get a little uncomfortable. I've been using a thicker foam pad and while it's worked, I read the reviews and thought I'd try it.
It took 4-5 hours of rowing to get used to the Citius Pro pad- but on the last few rows, I've had a @10watt improvement in output on both machines. I don't know if it has helped my form or just with power- but I'll take it!
I'm also finding the pad more comfortable on my backside.
Russ Eckles, Rower and Coach of 30 Years, Cleveland OH
I first learned of and personally tried the Citius-Remex ProW seat pad in 2020. I immediately recognized the comfort and posture changes on the erg and in a boat. In the spring of 2021 I tested the seat pad with the high school crews that I coach.
Without informing novice and experienced rowers of the purpose of the seat, 10 rowers tested the seat with noticeable change in posture and swing. Each rower was also able to describe the feeling and changes they experienced. As a result, we purchased 24 seats and utilized them with our novice crews and experienced rowers with the worst posture and flexibility to the catch.
This season, we tested the sets again with 2 experienced crews. We could see a noticeable improvement in posture and hip rotation. An additional 20 seats have been purchased and put into use. I am convinced this seat pad adds to comfort, posture, flexibility, and speed.
