START YOUR OWN INDOOR ROWING STUDIO FRANCHISE

Join a first of its kind – A leading boutique indoor rowing studio, delivering a low-impact, high-energy workout in an underserved market.

As an early mover in the rowing boutique fitness segment and the ONLY rowing fitness concept offered as a national Franchise opportunity, the business leverages the high amount of private independent existing awareness, and demand in markets nationwide, and provides a business opportunity for entrepreneurs to enjoy an outstanding margin business that is ultra simple to operate. A unique and unmatched user experience!

As a semi-absentee model, you can effectively hire someone to manage the studio and spend your time developing your other interests. Plus, no need for certified fitness instructors or specialized licensed employees. Your instructors can be easily taught the concepts of rowing to become instructors with no prior rowing experience. Instructor labor pool is therefore vast, where even cycling, yoga, pilates, HIIT, etc. instructors, or personal trainers, can supplement their income and easily become your instructors, because they already understand kinesiology, anatomy, etc. and can be taught rowing terminology quickly.

Recognized by serious athletes for decades as one of the most effective forms of full-body exercise, rowing is one of the main pillars of fitness and works the upper body, lower body and core all at once. With the Franchisor’s inclusive program design and communal experience, all levels of clients can benefit from their non-impact group workouts, as over 85% of the body’s muscles are worked with every stroke! Why work different muscle groups on different days, when you can work all in a single workout with them?
