Company mission
Jennis is on a mission to provide people with trusted information about their hormone cycles and expertise relating to their bodies and fitness.
Our take
Unfortunately, surveys show that many people are embarrassed by their period and only a very small percentage of sports science studies are made on monthly hormone cycles. This has led to a lack of education, including how to both ease symptoms and utilise hormone spikes to one's advantage, and it all wraps up to an equation in need of urgent attention. Although there are quite a few period tracking apps on the market — Clue, Flo and Ovia, for example — there aren’t many focused on exercise.
Jennis' Cyclemapping app teaches people how to use their monthly hormone cycle as a superpower, rather than just focusing on combating negative symptoms. Users input data about how long their cycle is, the first day of their period and how they tend to feel across a cycle. From there, the app suggests the best training and exercises based on what phase of the cycle someone is in.
Every experience of a period is different, and the aim of Jennis is to make sure that each user is given a bespoke plan to improve monthly period symptoms and help people to build a great relationship with exercise. The app enables users to compare how they feel and are performing to the previous month, rather than providing support week-by-week. This creates a bespoke fitness plan for those with a natural period cycle based on their unique patterns, symptoms and personal goals.
The company is looking to grow by focusing on recruiting more engineers and investing more into research and testing.
