SPORTL's Pay-as-You-Train Fitness Booking Platform Launches
References: dailynewsnetwork
SPORTL — a London-based pay-as-you-train fitness booking platform — has launched across app stores following a £250,000 pre-seed funding round. The brand is going live with 50 local gym studios and fitness centers. The rosters include Common Bond, which houses Boom Cycle, Triyoga, Barrecore, and Reformcore, as well as RFRM, TrainYard, Revolt Cycling, Manor, and Reformer Collective.
SPORTL operates on a no membership, no subscription model that allows users to book individual classes on demand. The brand lets users scroll, tap, book, and sweat, paying only for the classes they actually attend, which addresses the frustration of wanting to try different workouts across different studios without being locked into contracts or paying premium drop-in rates.
Ryan Lovelock, Co-Founder of SPORTL, commented: "Our mission is to work alongside gym owners, giving them the flexibility and transparency they deserve from a booking platform."
