Helaine is the Founder & CEO of CITYROW, Author of Making Waves, well renowned founder coach, consultant, speaker, investor, advisor and industry leader. Helaine spent her career hustling start-ups in NYC in the early 2010’s and was a part of two successful tech start-ups in the marketing space. During that time she had the idea for CITYROW when she first fell in love with group fitness classes and soon found herself with an injury. That injury fueled Helaine to look at the industry: she was on the hunt for something low impact, yet high intensity and smartly designed. It didn’t exist, so she created it. Over the next ten years Helaine brought rowing into the mainstream by making it sexy, accessible and mainstream by pairing it with strength work and focusing on smart programing, great branding and global expansion. Under Helaine’s leadership, CITYROW grew from two studios in NYC to a national fitness brand featuring at-home rowers, premium streaming content and a nationwide franchise system. In 2024, CITYROW was acquired by longtime manufacturer, WaterRower and the brand and content still lives on under their stewardship. Today, Helaine is the successful founder & CEO of CITYROW who spends her time coaching, advising and consulting founders and growth companies. With her first book, Making Waves, Helaine’s an inspiration on what it really takes to grow a company over 10 years - sharing the real, raw and gritty story - with an ending that will surprise you. Helaine wrote Making Waves to be the person she always wanted but never had in her corner as a founder - to provide structure, framework, confidence, listen and craft tactical solutions to founders and execs that need it in uncertain times. Knapp is sought after for media and has been featured on TODAY, Women’s Health, ABC, Harper’s Bazaar, Shape, Well + Good, Vogue, Yahoo! Finance and PEOPLE, among many others. helaineknapp. com for more information
