Hi, I’m Moawia, one of the Co-founders of SmartSpot. Getting started working out is incredibly challenging. Many people turn to online guides or videos but don’t have anyone to watch them or guide them in the gym, where it matters the most.

@moawiaeldeeb @joshua_augustin This actually could open up a new category of virtual gym sub-brands. Kind of like pop-up stores in larger retail places. As for now PTs are often times limited to the gyms they have contracts with. Just bringing your privately booked PT along with you into the gym that you, as a customer, are attending is usually not welcomed… See more
