Ep 244 - CITYROW | From an Idea to Conception: How to Build A Connected Franchise | Helaine Knapp

On this week’s episode of the Escape Your Limits Podcast, our guest today was hustling hard for fast-growing Saas Software companies. She was soon sidelined by a severe lower back injury that led her searching for workouts that were low impact, yet super effective. This concept led her to find the most underused machine in the gym- the rowing machine. With this in mind, Helaine Knapp founded CITYROW. CITYROW is now the trusted and only true omnichannel approach to smart fitness. What started as one studio on the 15th floor of an office building in New York City, is now over 11 studios across the country (with over 60 more in development) and a booming digital fitness business. In this week’s episode Knapp covers several topics including: when a business owner should decide to franchise their business & how to find a partner for it, deciding between creating an app versus creating a brick & mortar business, and how to market a digital fitness business.
