After the success of the first Wellness Accelerator Program in collaboration with us, Technogym has continued looking for innovative ideas in the fitness&wellness industry. If you have a disruptive startup in this sector, apply for the third edition just launched!

Gymbag, one of the startups selected for the second edition, is a platform that allows fitness professionals to quickly set up an online shop to sell their supplements and equipment. Follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

  • What is Gymbagand how does it work?

It's an e-commerce platform that gives fitness professionals (personal trainers and gyms) the power of having their own online store, stocked with fitness clothing, equipment, and supplements. Gymbag allows them to provide their clients with healthy products that complement their fitness training, while also providing them an excellent source of side income.

  • How did you meet and how is the team structured?

The team is made up of me, the CEO, and 3 developers: Adelchi Pallotta, Michele Silletti, and Geoffroy Wouters. I met Michele and Geo in the startup scene in Rome, where I live. Adelchi I met through mutual friends in Molise, where he comes from. I started the company last year after my last startup in Canada had been acquired. I moved to Italy and wanted to launch my own business, and I saw a huge opportunity in the fitness eCommerce space.

  • What is the most innovative aspect of your product and what makes you different from the competitors?

Gymbag is innovative because it gives busy fitness professionals access to an important source of side income they can use to grow their business, by doing something that is natural for them: recommending healthy products to their clients. They don't need to invest a lot of time or energy into finding products, dealing with inventory, or shipping out products, because we take care of that for them. They also don't need to have the technical knowledge to build an eCommerce site - we make it easy to launch a store in just 15 minutes. We're turning fitness pros into fitness entrepreneurs by giving them a new part of their business to grow.
