Our take
An increasing number of people are becoming unhealthy as a result of their lifestyle choices or a lack of motivation. Unfortunately not everyone feels like going to the gym. Future offers one-on-one digital training with fitness coaches at home, the gym, or on-the-go. It wants to make sure that people can exercise anywhere, at any time, and that they keep up with a good fitness program.
Future pairs its clients with coaches who create a complete training plan based around the client’s goals and schedule. Each week, they’ll have new guided workouts in the Future app. The company uniques uses technology, such as sending the client an Apple Watch for easy tracking of progress. Its focus is on consumer experience and intimacy, connecting with its users and expressing that it cares about their well-being.
The company faces competition from Centr, Aaptiv, Fitocracy, Sworkit in a global digital fitness market expected to reach $26 billion by 2028. Its 2022 Series C funding will be invested into accelerating its product development efforts whilst pushing to boost its revenue in the coming years.
