Boutique Cycling Brand will Help Warriors and Survivors Turn Lemons into “Pink Lemonade”

IRVINE, Calif. — CycleBar, the world’s first and largest indoor cycling franchise, announced today that it has partnered with Young Survival Coalition (YSC), the country’s oldest and largest young cancer non-profit, for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. The cycling brand is launching its “Pink Lemonade” CycleGives campaign to raise money for the breast cancer organization, which provides free resources and programs to support, educate and empower women diagnosed before their 41^st birthday.

YSC – with its national reach and focus on community and mind/body health for young women affected by cancer – is the ideal complement to the CycleBar experience, which is more than just a ride in the studio. It’s a uplifting, heart-pumping party on a bike, surrounded by an empowering community of riders to motivate any fitness journey.

As part of the “Pink Lemonade” campaign, CycleBar will host numerous charity classes, or CycleGives rides, in support of YSC at various locations around the nation, including studios in Los Angeles, San Diego, Denver, Dallas, Pensacola, and Wellington. CycleBar is no stranger to charitable giving as its CycleGives platform, which enables riders and instructors to raise money for specific causes they are most passionate about, has raised over $2 million through over 3,000 rides and 120,000 riders in under five years.

“We are honored to partner with Young Survival Coalition for this important cause,” said Ryan Junk, President of CycleBar. “Cancer is a terrible disease that has affected so many in our CycleBar community, and we want to do everything we can to show our support for these warriors and survivors.”

Jaclyn Alterwein, an instructor for CycleBar, is serving as the “Pink Lemonade” campaign ambassador, chosen because of her own battle with breast cancer a few years ago. At 47, Alterwein underwent a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery to beat the disease. She said her recovery wouldn’t be where it is today without her job and the CycleBar community that supported her physically, mentally and emotionally along the way.

Boutique Rowing Concept Opens First Canadian Studio in Toronto This Summer

IRVINE, Calif. — Following its rapid development in the United States, Row House, a low-impact, high-energy indoor rowing concept, announced today its first international studio development in Canada. As the demand for unique, boutique fitness concepts grows in the country, the brand is well-positioned to succeed with its efficient and effective rowing workouts. The inaugural Canadian location is set to debut in Toronto, and is targeting an opening date in summer 2019.

Currently Row House has 16 locations open and 200 territories sold in the United States and is on track to have over 100 studios open by the end of 2019. The company’s extensive domestic growth and success have led Row House to seek out international markets for expansion.

“Demand for this groundbreaking concept is incredibly high right now, so in Canada, we expect to see a trajectory of growth similar to what has occurred in the United States,” said Ramon Castillon, President of Row House. “We’re confident that our neighbors to the north will fully embrace the camaraderie, inclusivity and total-body results that Row House offers.”

The Toronto studio will be owned and operated by local entrepreneurs Steven and Elena Gliosca. Steven has worked in IT for 20 years, developing startups in Eastern Canada, while Elena is the owner of a local portrait photography studio. They were immediately hooked on the Row House workout and strong sense of community after visiting one of the brand’s New York locations.

“We are excited to bring the indoor rowing revolution to Canada with our Toronto studio,” said Elena. “As our city’s busy fitness scene continues to shift toward boutique offerings, we know that the population is going to fall in love with this well-balanced, structured and efficient workout.”

Long recognized by the rowing community as one of the most effective forms of full-body exercise, Row House will provide Canadian citizens an alternative fitness regimen that focuses on the safety and longevity of their bodies. The modern studio welcomes members into an atmosphere centered on camaraderie and drive, where participants row in-sync on state-of-the-art Concept2 rowing machines. Used every day by Olympic athletes, cardiac rehab patients, individuals at home and every caliber of rower in-between, the Concept2 is the authentic choice for those looking to marry low-impact cardio and strength training into one workout.

Row House, backed by Xponential Fitness’ team with more than 25 years’ experience in fitness franchising, is actively seeking qualified and passionate franchise partners to capitalize on the emerging market success. Backed by a wealth of support, infrastructure and knowledge, the total investment fee to open a Row House is $231,600–$333,750.

Boutique Rowing Concept’s Popularity Skyrockets as Transformative Workout Gains Momentum Across Country

IRVINE, Calif. — Since launching its franchise opportunity just 12 short months ago, Row House, the nation’s leading boutique rowing concept, has crossed yet another milestone – the signing of its 200^th franchise agreement. This accomplishment falls right in line with the brand’s overarching goal to open more than 100 studio locations each year through 2022.

The recently signed agreements will bring new locations to states such as Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, Colorado and California, where over 20 new studios are planned. Long recognized by the rowing community as one of the most effective forms of full-body exercise, Row House is shining a spotlight on an oft-neglected piece of exercise equipment and fueling the revitalization of one of America’s oldest sports.

“We have been extremely pleased with the growth of Row House in its first year, and with these recently signed deals, this unstoppable momentum will continue for the next few years,” said Ramon Castillon, President of Row House. “Row House stands out in the crowded boutique fitness space with its fresh, high-energy, low-impact workouts, and is leading the way as the number one indoor rowing experience on the market. We are excited to continue changing lives with this revolutionary fitness concept.”

Row House is a fitness community focused on providing the comradery and drive fostered by the sport of rowing. By offering a variety of classes, those of different strengths and abilities come together for a synchronized group fitness experience. In class, participants row on the same stroke, moving as a unit, but also have the ability to row at their own intensity. As rowing is one of the most effective low-impact, high-energy workouts, each stroke offers participants the opportunity to engage 85 percent of the body’s muscles with a low risk of injury – maximizing calorie burn, activating the core, strengthening and lengthening the body and ultimately improving posture.

To continue their rapid expansion, Row House is actively seeking qualified franchise partners. Headquartered in Irvine, CA, Row House is backed by Xponential Fitness, a powerhouse curator of leading boutique fitness brands. The Row House franchise opportunity offers potential franchisees the opportunity to capitalize on an emerging fitness market across all 50 states. With a total investment of $231,600–$333,750, Row House provides sound business opportunity along with a wealth of support, infrastructure and knowledge from the Xponential Fitness team.
