Company mission
To put a massive dent in the global obesity epidemic by helping millions of people build amazing businesses.
Our take
For many, the biggest hurdles to high-quality personal training are price and location. Kickoff is changing that by connecting users with dedicated online personal trainers at a price that won't break the bank.
With Kickoff, users tap into a network of trainers and get paired with someone whose expertise and training style align with their goals. Coaches create personalized exercises and nutrition plans, which users can easily access via SMS and an app. And the results speak for themselves - 96% of users stay on the platform month after month, proving how effective and user-friendly Kickoff is.
To bridge the knowledge and motivation gaps, Kickoff offers daily guidance, feedback through photos and videos, and even live video training sessions. With 68% of adult Americans being overweight, the need for accessible, affordable fitness solutions has never been more urgent and Kickoff is here to help people not just meet their fitness goals, but change their lives.
