We strive to make your life simpler, smarter and healthier by making you discover your inner beauty.

We are also working on few innovative ideas which includes a cloud based analytics platform for fitness centers, app based diet counseling, and personal training.

The idea was conceived when one of my friends required a personal trainer, and it was quite difficult to find one. I realized it was not just personal trainers; finding a good fitness centre is an equally painful job. This gap between demand and supply led to the business idea of starting an aggregator site for fitness centers
