  Row House 'Pulls Together' Hundreds of Entrepreneurs in First Year; Signs 200th Franchise Agreement
  - Boutique Rowing Concept's Popularity Skyrockets as Transformative Workout Gains Momentum Across Country -
  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 200th 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.
