Row House

Row House Franchise Investment Opportunity

Row House is a rowing fitness franchise that’s revolutionizing the rowing exercise segment!

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. Over 85% of the body’s muscles are worked with every stroke!

Row House’s program design and team atmosphere allows clients of all levels to benefit from the non-impact group workouts.

Row House’s rowing workouts are coach-led, 45 minute classes of up to 25 and they row as a crew! Row House believes in connection and they believe diversity leads to inspiration, so whether you’re just starting out or an experienced athlete, you will find a home in their crew.

They alternate between cardio work on best-in-class Ergometer Rowing Machines and bodyweight strength training on the floor.

You’ll increase your core strength, improve cardiovascular health and burn calories in a fun, fast-paced workout where YOU apply the resistance and their interval training workout keeps your body burning calories.

The freedom of controlling your own resistance allows you to maintain rhythm and swing with the group, while selecting your own difficulty level.

Row House caters to a broad age range, uni-sex market. In fact, much of the inspiration behind Row House comes from a co-founder’s cousin, who adopted rowing at age 50 and rowed each day until 94 years old, declaring it as his secret to a long and healthy life!

Row House is an early mover in the group rowing boutique fitness franchise segment and the first to be launching nationally in all markets across the country, with the infrastructure to support rapid growth.

The Row House team has designed several signature, proprietary class formats in order to fit the needs and aspirations of many clients, from young to more senior, and from beginner to advanced.

Row House wants a good class fit for anyone, and have therefore perfected a unique approach to ensuring an inclusive, team-oriented experience and the most effective results for clients from this full-body exercise.

Investment Franchise Ownership Models Available:

• Executive (“hands-off”): Passive Income Franchise Ownership. You own the business, but hire out all functions required to operate it, including day-to-day management. You will have little or no physical presence at the business location and own the business purely as an investment, not as a way to create or change your employment/career situation.

• Owner/Operator (“hands-on”): You are front-and-center in the function of the business. You’ll typically work onsite most or all days that the business is open. You directly supervise the staff that is needed to run the shop, and have little time to do much else besides run the franchise, to an extent that other employment is practically impossible.

• Semi-Absentee: Passive Income Franchise Ownership. Operational responsibility falls somewhere in between Executive (hands-off) and Owner/Operator (hands-on). Many semi-absentee franchise owners begin by keeping their day jobs/careers and relying on a manager to get their first store off the ground. If the franchisee succeeds with their first unit and decides to open additional ones, running the multi-unit franchise may prove lucrative enough for the semi-absentee owner to leave their day job/career and focus solely on the growing business venture.

Financial Requirements

• Cash Investment (Liquid): $100,000
• Minimum Net Worth: $500,000
