Founders Fitness Club presented by FH x FCIB: November 5, 2026

A first meeting with another founder can happen before either person opens a laptop. Founders Fitness Club presented by FH x FCIB brings Founders House and First Citizens Innovation Banking together at Grind House Manhattan on November 5, 2026, from 8 to 10 a.m. EST. Louisa Li, Damian Tenuta and Lou Abrams are listed as hosts.

The morning has a clear sequence

The program starts with a HIIT class led by Grind House from 8 to 9 a.m., followed by sauna and smoothies from 9 to 10 a.m. The venue is Grind House Manhattan, 47 W 17th St, New York, NY 10011. Guests are also welcome to cowork at Founders House from 10 a.m. onward, according to the organizer.

Founders House presents this as a monthly series held on the first Thursday. First Citizens Innovation Banking is the named partner, connecting the morning to a wider startup and innovation-economy community. The session's value for founders is time alongside other people building companies, with a shared activity providing an easier beginning to the conversation.

A founder-community fitness format

The announced program is a workout and a chance to spend time with the community. There is no announced technical presentation or speaker panel. Anyone considering the session should come prepared for the HIIT class and use the organizer's current instructions for access and participation.

Registration requires host approval. The official event page carries the request process, and prospective guests should wait for confirmation before planning their morning around a place in the class. For those approved, the optional cowork time leaves room to carry a new conversation into the working day.
