Swish House 2022 Recap

A few highlights from 2022:

  • Our membership grew by more than 200%.

  • We held more than 740 workouts in Chicago and more than 270 workouts in Brooklyn.

  • We had more than 7,000 total bookings in Chicago and more than 2,400 total bookings in Brooklyn.

  • 200+ members on a monthly membership.

  • We established pick-up games and private events as core parts of Swish House, and we also began to offer private training.

  • We helped raise $7,000 to buy every kid at Mercy Home for Boys & Girls a pair of basketball shoes for Christmas.

Swish House grew tremendously over the past year. We held more than 1,000 sessions and had more than 9,400 bookings. We successfully launched a new location in Brooklyn, New York, and we’re excited to expand across the City in the new year. In Chicago, Swish House activated four new gyms, including our first Park District partnership and University alliance.

The Swish House experience evolved as we refined our basketball fitness class, added various skill and shooting clinics to the mix, focused on injury prevention with the support of NBA Sports Performance Coach, Trent Salo and diversified our pick-up runs. Additionally, we brought on a number of fantastic coaches and hosted our first coaches’ retreat!

We strengthened our members’ connection to our community through a redesigned website and an enhanced social media presence, which continues to evolve as we enter the new year. Swish House led various private and corporate events, including birthday parties, private classes and runs, bracket style tournaments, and we sponsored various non-profit fundraising initiatives, such as the Chicago Asian Women Empowerment Competition.

The Swish House community is literally growing by the day, and we couldn’t be more excited about our future.

As the world’s first basketball fitness company, we have a unique opportunity to serve a substantial untapped market. There are millions of people who love basketball and who also recognize the benefits of maintaining their physical fitness. Swish House helps those people stay connected to the game by bringing the convenience of a fitness class to the basketball community.

We are working to build a platform where tens of millions of people can come together to hoop, get in shape, develop friendships, and ultimately become healthier and happier. Together, we can build a truly global community that will make the world a better place through basketball.

We are eternally grateful to our community and want to say thank you to our members, our coaches and all of our stakeholders who have contributed to making the Swish House community special. Without you, none of this is possible and we are excited to continue this journey together.

Big things are ahead!
