GetnFIT – A Health and Fitness Marketplace

Hi HN! GetnFIT.io is a marketplace that helps connect health and fitness service providers to consumers. Our objective is to help consumers take control of, and improve all aspects of their physical health by providing them access to various in-person and online (where possible) services covering fitness, recovery, nutrition and diagnostics domains. A bit of background: During the pandemic, we became acutely aware that we weren’t really optimizing for health. Also, our experience as consumers of health and fitness services was not finding good, peer reviewed fitness facilities /personal trainers / sports groups. We like most people were unidimensional in our approach towards health i.e. focusing on either physical activity or nutrition or recovery but not tying them all together. Many athletes and sports teams have professionals helping them optimize all domains of health and fitness. Therefore, we decided to build a platform that address all these issues that we faced and bring a holistic approach to fitness to regular people like us. Furthermore, we realized that there is tons of good scientific information, hacks and protocols available now via online blogs and podcasts such as Professor Andrew Huberman’s Hubermanlab, Dr. Peter Attia’s Drive etc. but there is a lack of personalized guidance and accountability that keeps people from bettering their health - a platform that fosters communities working towards common goals with professional guidance could help address this problem. Based on what we’ve learnt about kickstarting a marketplace, we decided to focus on building the supply side first and we have onboarded 7 partners and about 30 services (in person and online) and we are now looking for initial users on the consumer side.
