A mumpreneur duo has produced a fitness timetable to revolutionise the £4 billion UK fitness market – and the lives of everyday working women.
The i-workout mission is to make it easier to complete better workouts, more often – through a centralized, simple timetable. With over 7 million people holding memberships for fitness clubs or gyms in the UK, the product promises to offer a pay-as-you-go flexibility for users, saving them money and time via access to the best independent fitness studios and exercise classes.
In collaboration with MINDBODY – the leading booking software company for fitness studios – i-workout has developed a platform that aggregates the timetables of high-end London fitness studios into a single, intuitive timetable. Studios are now recognizing the many advantages of partnering with i-workout as a method of accessing highly mobile customers. With over 40 of London’s highest quality fitness studios signed up to the network, i-workout is ideally placed within one of the fastest growing segments of the UK fitness industry. The company predicts a 12.1% growth in pay-as-you-go fitness between 2013 and 2017.
