## Story

Aescape, the creators of the automated and on-demand robot massage, has announced a partnership with Invited, the largest owner and operator of private membership clubs in North America. Members at select Invited clubs, starting with Jupiter Country Club in Florida and The Hills in Austin, Texas, will have access to Aescape’s personalized services. Invited operates over 200 golf and country clubs, city clubs, sports clubs, and stadium clubs across 28 states, serving nearly 400,000 members.

The partnership is Aescape’s third market expansion since its commercial launch in August. The personalized massage services operate through a touchscreen interface, and users can select target areas, pressure levels, and music preferences. Users can access their preferences from different Aescape machines across various locations.

Michele Meleski, senior vice president of National Fitness and Wellness for Invited, noted, “We’re always trying to innovate and bring new member experiences to the Invited clubs. We’re excited about partnering with Aescape and offering this cutting-edge technology to our members. With Aescape, our golfers can now enjoy a new level of self-care that enhances both their relaxation and performance on the course. We hope to expand the partnership with Aescape across our club portfolio.”

Eric Litman, founder and CEO of Aescape, highlighted the importance of recovery in athletic performance. “Our work with professional athletes has shown us how important recovery is to performance, and now we’re bringing that same level of care to not only golfers but Invited Club’s extended community members,” he said.

Aescape has recently expanded its services beyond New York, launching in Miami and Nashville. The company initially introduced its Early Access Program in New York City in March and has since established a presence in various sectors, including hospitality, professional sports, corporate offices and luxury real estate.

Aescape has also launched with Pause, the wellness studio known for its infrared sauna, cryotherapy, and more, and the Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara.

Aescape has secured $80 million in funding from investors such as Valor Siren Ventures, Valor Equity Partners, Crosslink Capital, and AlleyCorp.
