About Cityrow Franchise LLC

The best fitness regimes shred calories mercilessly and tone muscles with each workout. Cityrow Franchise is a fitness studio with a unique solution for fitness enthusiasts who seek high-impact training techniques.

Founded by Helaine Knapp in 2014, Cityrow Franchise attempted to disrupt the fitness industry with a fresh and exciting idea. Incorporating rowing into exercising, Cityrow Franchise may give clients an exciting way to put in high-intensity sweats that are gentle on the joints and result in low-impact burns.

Customers may love how Cityrow Franchise’s sleek studios and signature WaterRower invite them to chase their fitness goals with every session. The one-of-a-kind experience the studio offers may make customers’ fitness goals worth pursuing.

Cityrow Franchise began franchising in 2018 and has since opened several locations in the United States.
