Saddle Row announces permanent closure in Rockwell after 8 years

Saddle Row’s flagship branch in Rockwell is officially closing its doors permanently beginning January 15.

On Monday, the the first indoor rowing studio in the Philippines announced the news on Instagram, saying “After 8 years, Saddle Row will officially cease operations of its flagship Rockwell location.” 

“Rockwell has been a meaningful part of our journey, and we are deeply grateful for the community, patronage, and energy you’ve shared with us over the years,” it added.

Meanwhile, Saddle’s Row BGC branch, located at the High Street South, remains operational. Apart from rowing, the studio also offers indoor cycling classes as well as yoga and reformer pilates, to name a few.   

Usually done in a group setting, rowing, boxing, and spinning are among the physical activities that resonate well with fitness enthusiasts in Metro Manila.

Aside from workouts that use machines, running—and even walking 10,000 steps daily—remain popular heading into 2026.
