Recession Resistant
Rowing has been around for decades in the fitness segment, which is one of the most recession proof segments in franchising today. Rowing will never go away...and during downturns people focus more on themselves with personal services and fitness to make themselves feel better. Row House is delivering the widest, most most accessible row exercise offering in the country, in an unmatched platform, at a reasonable and moderate price point.

Issues and Ambushes

This will only work in Urban Markets…
Answer: Rowing exists in every market in the country and middle to middle upper class suburban markets all over the country are target rich and ripe for Row House. The concept targets upper middle markets the same as all other premium brands.
Market is saturated or what about people that are already going to public gyms?
Answer: Mom and Pops and public gyms are not able to deliver anything close to the level of Class Versions, Class availability, Instruction, Experience, Equipment and Platform of a Row House. People are always looking for better services and a better experience as long as it's reasonably priced. At Row House, a client will have a unique experience designed to meet their specific needs and aspirations, rather than being an afterthought at a public gym…a variety of classes for all types of people.

Where can I see Row House's FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document)?

Buying a Franchise Guide: What is a Franchise Disclosure Document?

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
