The partnership and investment will advance the aim of both companies bringing affordable fitness to all.
The Fiit product completely integrates with TGG’s member journey, providing virtual classes in gym through Fiit Studios and pods, as well as extending their service into the home.

Richard Darwin, CEO of The Gym Group commented: “The launch of this innovative new product enhances and delivers a best in class fitness offer for our members. Even before the outbreak of COVID-19 we had recognised the unique service that Fiit provides, both at home and in our gyms.’’

It also hosts the UK’s only live leaderboard HIIT classes, allowing users to join scheduled classes throughout the day and compete against friends, family and other users. The unique ‘Fiit points’ system allows people to compete based on effort rather than fitness level, enabling users of all abilities to enjoy the competition together.
