IntelliSports
|
Fitness works great if you are already fit. Unfortunately, this represents a very slim band of people. For everyone else moving more would make a huge difference. And there are far more people who are willing and able to move a little more, than there are people who will ever "work out".That’s why PlayFitt isn’t a fitness app. It’s auser engagement machine that gets everyone moving!!!We use the same gaming addictive engagement strategies that drive massive user engagement. We help our users do something that is good for them - just move more. | $2.1M / Seed / Jun 05, 2022 |
