I can attest to that from when I rowed crew. Using the stationary machine hurt like hell and time seemed to stand still. Overall it was very beneficial to see my power and racing split and work towards a
PR for each test. I left with a 6:44 for my 2k and I vividly remember the pain during and after that effort. I don't think I will ever take a spinning class or spend much time on a trainer.
