Did you ever find yourself (pre-pandemic) in a fitness class with
the same people, giving each other a nod of recognition but making no
other connection? And maybe now, are you seeing the same people in your
Zoom workout class, but you find it’s not really set up for you to
interact?

A new fitness and community platform called the FitGrid Class
App—launching Monday, September 28—hopes to help you change that.

FitGrid, available for both iOS and Android, curates
live-stream and in-person classes from real fitness studios around
the world and allows users to connect via in-app messaging. That way,
you can connect with other members via the messaging feature that you
might not otherwise talk to. Additionally, you can connect with
friends on the app and be notified of classes they are taking so
you can join them.

“I wanted to create a platform where people could connect with each
other before class, feel more comfortable walking in, and have an
ability to understand what you’re getting into going to the class,” Nt
Etuk, Founder and CEO of FitGrid told Runner’s World.

Classes on the app include F45 and The Dailey Method as well as small,
independent studios. Users can also get a preview of what to expect
from the class, connect with the instructor, and see if others in the
class are open to connecting or just there for the workout.

Etuk, who got into group fitness (pilates) to help rehab his injury,
plantar fasciitis, found that he was attending classes with the
same people but never making a connection. Although the coronavirus
pandemic has changed what group fitness looks like, FitGrid can still
help connect friends and family all over the world and help fitness
studios stay connected to their members. And, planned updates will
allow users to message their instructors after class to chat about
their fitness goals.

Users can invite their friends to join a class with them, or search by
classes that their friends have taken. The goal of the app is to create
community and also enable studios to help develop relationships and
stay in touch with their community, which is more important than ever
with the pandemic, Etuk said.

By using the connective features on the app, studios will be able to
utilize this as a way to keep clients and draw new clients. Similar to
what they might’ve done before with in-class experience or marketing on
the street that they can’t do now, Etuk said.

“Our goal ultimately is to help people lead more healthier, more
productive lives and also support people in those organizations that
help others live healthier,” Etuk said.

The app partners with studios on the MindBody app offering group
fitness classes. Etuk said that the app will allow runners to find
running classes or treadmill studios in areas they haven’t tried
before, or explore cross-training classes they previously may not have
been able to attend in studio from home.

FitGrid is available to download on the App Store and Google Play.
Users can get a free trial class at certain studios as well as take
free live virtual classes sponsored by Athleta as part of the Athleta
NYC Empower Tour.
