Our Story
SquashRx is where squash players, both new and experienced, can get in the game.
At SquashRx, you’ll always find a welcoming community of players of all levels and abilities, and awesome coaches who can advise and guide you. Our programs are great for kids and adults alike, and in addition to our regular lessons and classes, we also offer fun and immersive camps and tournaments throughout the year.
Back in 2013, founder Brian Mathias wanted to launch a facility that made squash more accessible. After 15 years of coaching in exclusive settings like private clubs and academia, inspiration came when Brian gained access to a unique squash court in midtown. Located on the top floor of an office building, the single court was not inside a club or gym.
Brian began offering squash lessons without membership fees, and soon, people began requesting to book the court in between their lessons. At the time, only Brian carried the key to the court. Unlocking the court gave him an idea—a place where everyone could enjoy squash and book courts on demand; all without annual membership fees.
Don’t worry, since then, we’ve installed a keypad and an online booking system, so you don’t have to borrow the key from Brian anymore to use the court! But the heart of SquashRx is still the same. It’s a place where people who love squash or who are interested in learning the sport can come and play.
In 2019 we added two more courts in downtown Manhattan, and in the fall of 2022 launched a program in New Canaan, Connecticut.
We look forward to continuing to grow as a team and community, and to offering squash to more people throughout the New York City metropolitan area.
We’re all about teamwork!
