Our take
Established in 2012, Urban Sports Club is a platform that makes sports and fitness achievable for all. The company aims to re-shape the future of sport, focusing on the future of hybrid sports models.
Realizing they had the desire to perform different sports at different venues - but that membership options limited this - founders Moritz Kreppel and Benjamin Roth developed Urban Sports Club, where users can combine different sports, checking in and training at more than 12,000 partner venues across Europe.
A 2024 buyout by Qualitas Funds helped to maintain Urban Sports Funds' position as a subscription service. The company has also released a B2B "corporate fitness" offering, to promote better employee health, with clients including Barilla and Denk Werk.
