A gym operating platform

YOND GmbH operates in the fitness technology sector, providing a specialized gym operating system for fitness chains and studios. Founded in 2022 by Serge Reit and Nicolas Kübler in Wiesbaden, Germany, the company targets the challenge of scalability within the fitness industry. The founders aim to resolve the issue where business growth is hindered by rising operating expenses due to a lack of digitalization in core processes. The company's core product is a cloud-native platform, referred to as a gOS (Gym Operating System), which is designed to be "radically open" and compliant-by-design. This system automates essential business functions and simplifies the management of fitness chains. Key features include comprehensive member management, automated payment processing and receivables management, business analytics, and staff scheduling. YOND's platform also provides a customer self-service portal and mobile application, which allows gym members to manage their own accounts and bookings, addressing research that shows a high percentage of customer inquiries could be handled through self-service. The business model is centered on providing this software as a service. Its open API-first approach is a key differentiator, enabling seamless integration with third-party systems, devices, and partner platforms. This allows fitness chains to create a unified customer experience instead of a fragmented one across multiple applications. The company serves various clients, from large, progressive fitness chains and franchises to single boutique studios focusing on specialized experiences like yoga or dance. In August 2023, YOND secured an undisclosed amount in a pre-seed funding round from High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) to fuel its growth and product development.
