In the post, Saddle Row reflected on its time in the area and thanked the community that has been part of the space since it opened.

“It’s been a good run, and we invite you to stay #SaddleStrong with us in the coming days as we Ride, Row, and Realign to our final song at Rockwell,” the post added.
Following the announcement, the comments section quickly filled with messages from clients sharing memories and experiences tied to the Rockwell branch. Many spoke about the sense of community they found there, with one user writing, “More than just a location. It’s a collection of core memories, lifelong friendships, and a community that feels like home.” Another simply shared, “Made good friends in that branch.”
Founded in 2015, Saddle Row built its name around customized indoor cycling and rowing sessions offered in a premium boutique setting. Over the years, the studio expanded its offerings with the introduction of Realign, a program focused on a more holistic approach to fitness and mental well-being. The program combines high-energy cardio, targeted weight training, mindful toning, and active recovery classes.
As the Rockwell branch prepares to close its doors, Saddle Row’s post and the response from its community highlight how the space became more than just a workout studio for many. For now, those looking to continue training with the brand can still visit its Taguig location.
