The person behind the purpose
Ben
Gallagher.
Founder & Head Coach
“Developing rowers through purposeful coaching.”
A journey of adversity. A passion for rowing. A purpose to help others progress.
Ben founded ROW ERGX in 2025 after discovering rowing during his recovery and rehabilitation from life-changing injuries sustained while serving in the British Army.
He competed at the 2023 Invictus Games, winning a gold medal, before joining the GB World Class Paralympic Rowing Programme. He has become British, European and World Indoor Rowing Champion and represented England at the Home International Rowing Regatta.
Ben coached Team UK at the 2025 Invictus Games and is preparing for the 2027 Games. He is a British Rowing-qualified coach and a Love Rowing ambassador, with a mission to encourage and inspire others in the sport.
That experience shapes ROW ERGX: professional, motivational coaching that meets people where they are and helps them move forward.
