Our Story

Building Austin'sFitness Future

The platform where fitness meets community, designed to transform participants into lifelong members.

"People join communities that are a reflection of who they are, not who they wish to be."

Fitness Shouldn't BeJust a Transaction

Logan Bell, an entrepreneur passionate about human connection, saw a fundamental problem in the fitness industry.

Most fitness platforms treat fitness as a transaction rather than a relationship. They extract value from communities instead of helping them grow. They focus on who people wish to be, not who they actually are.

We believed there was a better way - one that puts community first and transforms how fitness communities grow, connect, and thrive together.

The Old Way

  • 50% commission rates
  • $200-500 monthly fees
  • Platform owns relationships
  • Extraction over support

Our Core Principles

Building psychological infrastructure for transformative fitness communities

Create Belonging Before Value

We focus on identity integration and design initiation rituals that make members feel they truly belong. Psychological safety and authentic connection come first.

Enable Member Advocacy

We give engaged members meaningful ways to influence their community, turning them into passionate champions and creating organic growth systems.

Technology Enhances Connection

Technology should make human connection easier, not replace it. We build tools that strengthen real relationships and community bonds.
