Exclusive: West Hollywood rowing fitness studio lines up investors Kevin Hart, Russell Westbrook
Rowing fitness studio Health House has assembled its first round of funding and announced a roster of A-list investors: Kevin Hart, Russell Westbrook, Odell Beckham Jr., the Chainsmokers, Denise and Katie Austin, Winklevoss Capital, Soma Capital, Sinai Ventures, Steve Lewis, Nate Checketts, Jon Terzian and James Maslow.
Led by co-founders Jon Knopke, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Bobby Maylack and Lorenzo Esparza, the company recently opened its first Los Angeles studio located on West Knoll Drive in West Hollywood. Founded in 2013 in Kansas City, Health House has been dedicated to a combination of rowing and strength training for a full body workout.
Those details include a curated environment with visual centerpieces, smoothies and other food options, leader boards and games. It's the results produced by a rowing workout that drew Schwarzenegger in. “I’ve always been obsessed with fitness," said the actor, model and activist who recently shared spoke withwhich also includes companies like Liquid I.V. "As I’ve gotten older and busier, I’ve tried to find the best way to get an extremely hard work out in a short period of time.
Adds Westbrook: “I’ve always been passionate about fitness and was blown away by the Health House team and the training model. I couldn’t be happier to be involved and help bring it to Los Angeles.” Aside from having the boldfaced name investors from the worlds of entertainment and sports, Health House surely gets a boost by having Winklevoss Capital founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss. Though perhaps best known for their involvement in Facebook and Bitcoin, the twin brothers also rose to fame as Olympic rowers who competed in the Beijing Olympics. “As former Olympic athletes," explains Tyler, "Cameron and I have been passionate about the sport of rowing for over two decades.
