The Challenge
The fitness industry has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with gyms and fitness centers being forced to close down. This situation created a challenge for fitness trainers who were left without a platform to offer their services, and for fitness enthusiasts who were left without access to their regular fitness routines. Brothers Nicolò and Sebastiano Ammendola, based in Italy, recognized this challenge and saw an opportunity to create a solution that would allow fitness trainers to continue offering their services and fitness enthusiasts to continue their fitness routines from the comfort of their homes. The challenge was to create a platform that would be easy to use for both trainers and users, and that would allow for live and recorded fitness sessions.
About The Customer
Kappa TrainUp serves two main customer groups: fitness trainers and fitness enthusiasts. The fitness trainers are professionals who offer their services through the platform. They can create their account, schedule live sessions, and upload their recorded classes. The fitness enthusiasts are the users who are seeking at-home workout options. They can register on the platform, find a trainer or session, and book their spot for a live session or purchase access to a recorded session. The platform has gained over 1,800 trainers within weeks after launch, and garners an estimated 28,000 daily users. The trainers are mostly based in Italy but some are spread all over the world.
The Solution
The Ammendola brothers developed Kappa TrainUp, a two-sided marketplace for at-home fitness training and online workout classes, using Bubble's no-code web app creator. The platform allows fitness instructors and personal trainers to offer live and recorded private or group classes to people seeking an at-home workout. On one side of the marketplace, trainers can create their account, schedule live sessions, and upload their recorded classes. On the other side, users can register, find a trainer or session, and book their spot for a live session or purchase access to a recorded session. The platform also allows trainers to set their rate for on-demand sessions and users to request a session for the time and date that best suits them.
Operational Impact
  • The creation of Kappa TrainUp has had significant operational results. It has provided a platform for fitness trainers to continue offering their services during the pandemic, helping hundreds of them to keep earning money and making a living even with gyms shut or going bankrupt. It has also provided a solution for fitness enthusiasts to continue their fitness routines from the comfort of their homes. Furthermore, the platform has been used to host a charity campaign, raising thousands of euros for hospitals in the Piedmont region and Turin. The success of the platform in Italy has given the founders confidence that it could be successful abroad, and they are now looking for funding and partnerships to scale up operations and expand internationally.
