Company mission
To support and empower holistic health and fitness coaches to reach new heights in their businesses
-3% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Lenus offers health and nutrition professionals an IT platform through which they can furnish their customers with online coaching and customised workout/nutrition plans. The idea is to shoulder some of the administrative burden of running and scaling a health business: whilst individualised client sessions are growing in popularity, they’re a tough model for one coach to handle profitably.
Over recent years the company has opened subsidiary offices in Sweden, Britain, and Germany, and closed Denmark’s largest-ever Series A round - so appetite for Lenus’ services is clearly strong. This could be down, at least in part, to an increasing number of health and lifestyle coaches going independent following the shuttering of businesses over the pandemic. Plus, of course, the sustained interest in at-home services even after gyms re-opened.
Following the addition of an online coaching school supported by its Series A funding in 2021, additional investment in 2023 will help the company focus on product innovation and expanding operations internationally, with a strong emphasis on its largest market, the US.

Autonomy

During my interview process, the "flat hierarchy" was mentioned a few times. Immediately after joining the team, I could both see and feel the truth behind this statement. In daily conversations, meetings, and all collaborative efforts, there is no bureaucracy preventing a free flowing exchange of ideas.

The team here is incredibly diverse. While a global company, not one of our teams or offices is solely representative of the country in which it is located. This natural diversity has been built thanks to Lenus' dedication to attracting the best and brightest from around the globe!
