Just got a gym from India on the service... We're going global!

What's up PH! I created GymFly with my business partner Robert. We both enjoy working out and staying in shape, but found that getting a good workout was tougher while traveling. Sure, the hotel usually has a gym, but it's nothing more than some treadmills or some small weights. So you're stuck Googling local gyms, making calls to see if they have day passes, then still getting some annoying sales pitch. Our market is heavily focused on the travel industry! We know that there is a huge market of others just like us who want a workout, without the hassle of a lot of Googling, calls, etc, but more importantly who don't want a sales pitch.. Just buy a pass, show up, workout! We were just featured in Flex Magazine on their "Hit List" as a cool new item, which is super exciting for us! We just launched our apps and gym owner signup recently. We have over 30 gyms signed up with no paid marketing, and are seeing a fair amount of downloads too. We have both iOS and Android applications, with a sweet stream of new updates coming for both of them. In our app, you just look for a gym that is using our service, see what passes they are selling, and buy it. We process credit cards in the app, Then, you show up, show the gym your pass, and boom. Workout time. Super simple. Gyms set their own pricing, there's no subscribing through us, which we think will drive competition just like hotels competing for room sales! We are growing every day! It will take time to build a network but with our recent press, hopefully some great feedback from you all, and continued investors, we are going to become a key player in this space! Also hoping to leverage some existing contacts in the travel industry to grow as well.

Thank god for this! Staying comfortable in my fitness routine while I was away from my local gym turned out to be one of my biggest consumer pain points of 2016. I really couldn't understand why there wasn't a better product or business model in place to address this need. Looking forward to giving this a shot on my next trip πŸ’ͺ🏾

@stedman_rh heck yes that's what we want to hear! We're pretty pumped. Always nice when you can solve a problem for not only yourself but others. Feel free to share the word! :)
