Coach Bergenroth – Online Rowing Coach

Where Coaching Meets Code, and Rowing Becomes a Classroom

Neil Bergenroth is not your average rowing coach. With 37 years of experience across oars, classrooms, and code, he brings a rare fusion of insight to every athlete, student, and human he works with. His background spans competitive rowing, STEM education, and software development. But at the heart of it all is one question:

How can he help people grow?

For Neil, a rowing machine isn’t just a piece of equipment, but a learning environment. It’s a vehicle for discipline, resilience, and joy. It’s where force meets focus and where data becomes direction.

The Human Behind the Stroke

Born and raised in the UK, Neil was selected for Great Britain’s Junior National Rowing Team at age 17 before rowing for Boston University. After graduating, he began teaching chemistry, blending his love of science and sport into a life of thoughtful instruction. When Neil moved to Tulsa, he brought rowing with him, building a boathouse, a community, and a quiet movement around what the sport could become.

Over time, his curiosity led him to coding. He taught himself how to build tools, not just for performance, but for understanding. From augmented reality chemistry apps to data-integrated erg training platforms, Neil’s work as an online rowing coach now lives at the intersection of technology and transformation.
