Working out just got 10 times more fun with the app, Gymspott, founded by Ahmed Awad, a Data Science and Philosophy student at Indiana University and along with Cherif Redissi. Gymspott is an app for gym enthusiasts to find workout partners, schedule workouts with friends, and build a fitness community. Looking for a yoga buddy, a new team to shoot hoops with, a weightlifting partner…GymSpott has you covered.
The app’s user-friendly design is a key feature and the seamless use is a testament to the founder’s work and coding experience.
Ahmed first conceived the idea for GymSpott while he was in high school. He has always been passionate about health and fitness, starting a weightlifting club while a student in HS. The club grew a significant amount, winning state records for powerlifting. During his senior year in HS, he got a sports injury and had to put a pause on weightlifting. While recovering during his freshman year in college, he found it difficult to go it alone. This experience revealed a pain point that others have been experiencing, working out alone is much harder than it should be, especially for those just starting out.
Ahmed took the initiative to attend various fitness conventions around the country to connect with gym owners, tour fitness centers, and soak up as much knowledge as he could about the industry. When Ahmed received his first confirmation that a health club would be interested in purchasing the software, he ventured back to IU to learn how to build it out. One main driver of the business is the statistic that people in gyms are 44% less likely to leave a gym if they work with someone at that location.
GymSpott seamlessly connects workout partners and removes the barriers of joining a gym with no community. This past year, GymSpott launched on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Since launch, Ahmed has been onboarding gym clients and building up the app’s user base. Ahmed’s long-term plan is for GymSpott to be integrated across various gyms and serve as a “fitness in your pocket.” Say goodbye to solo workouts and hello to a vibrant community dedicated to fitness. GymSpott could be your fitness companion, bringing the gym to your pocket.
