Shane Farmer: Finding Grounding Through Sport, The Ability to Suffer, And Why You Should Care About Indoor Rowing

Shane Farmer is the founder of Dark Horse Rowing. He's a rower, a 4X CrossFit Games athlete, former gym owner, Concept2 Master Instructor and has made his career de-mystifying rowing for non-rowers. He's married with two kids and has 13 chickens and an orchard. He loves soil regeneration, permaculture, and testing himself regularly at new and interesting forms of fitness. We go way back and hear how Shane first started rowing, almost by accident, and then was exposed to CrossFit as his rowing team’s exclusive strength and conditioning program. Fast forward to post-college life and Shane has turned his passion for rowing into a business instilling a love of indoor rowing in non-rowers and rowers alike. • This episode of The Ready State Podcast is brought to you by Sleepme.
