Kenny and Nadav here, founders of Rowgatta. We left our corporate jobs in 2017 to pursue our passion in fitness. On September 14, 2019, after almost 3 years of blood, sweat, tears, and countless sleepless nights, we finally opened our studio in NYC. This was a very exciting time for us and things were going great! Each month, more and more Rowgatta Athletes (as we affectionately call them) came to work out with us - over 5,000 in less than 6 months! That is, until COVID-19 brought our studio - and much of the world - to a halt. 

We voluntarily closed the studio on March 13th (before it was mandated by the government and one day before our 6th month anniversary) because as business owners and as citizens, we felt an obligation to protect our customers and staff from COVID-19 and its spread. Since then, we’ve been hosting livestream classes on Zoom to keep our community engaged and moving. We've worked around the clock to keep the lights on (even though no one is there) and support our coaches and staff - big shoutout to Arielle, Alexis, Julia, Chris, Carter, Alyson, Carlos, Claire, Taylore, and Adele! 

Unfortunately, since we're the new kids on the block, we don't have the same resources and exposure as the bigger, more established brands. So the two of us held a brainstorming session, in which we asked ourselves "what would we do to save Rowgatta?" The answer we came up with is, whatever it takes! Since we largely self-fund the business (we've raised some money from friends and family), and can't afford to pay for fancy marketing campaigns, we're going to use the one resource we have at our disposal that will never run out - our perseverance. 

That is why, we will be attempting a series of challenges, with the hope of raising awareness (and money) for our studio. We hope you'll follow along on this journey and tell your friends! If you're willing and able to make a donation, that's truly amazing. However, we recognize that so many folks are struggling right now just like us. If making a monetary donation isn't an option right now, that's totally ok - share our story with your friends, help us get the word out, and we'll be forever grateful.
