January update 1.40: Make your indoor rowing comeback
read
The EXR team wishes you a happy new year filled with rewarding workouts, steady progress, and great health! With the start of 2025, it’s time to dedust your rowing machine or even start settling into your new rowing setup with EXR’s latest update: try your luck at group races with the new free-for-all competitions (beta) or follow the Comeback Catalyst training plan spanning 6 weeks.
The January Update will be released gradually over one week for all systems. As usual, the app will update automatically. Please note that a patch will be released in mid-January for the free-for-all race events. Regarding the patch, we will make further announcements in the Facebook and Discord Communities.
New
Free-for-all race events: beta
Get ready for a new group event type: free-for-all race events! Similar to group rows, you can sign up for them and you'll need to row a specific distance or time to complete the event. But here’s the twist — your performance will be ranked against other participants, and you’ll see your placement on the event’s final results screen.
A couple of beta events will be held this month. Their routes exclude sprint segments. Begin to row at the start of the event and complete the full distance to get ranked on its leaderboard. Sign up for the events on the EXR website or in the app.
Sign up for the first free-for-all race events now!
Free for all competitions are still in its beta phase, meaning that bugs may appear. Should you encounter any issues, please let us know via the in-app feedback button or by sending us an email to support@exrgame.com.
