About Buddyfit

Buddyfit, an innovative online fitness platform, was founded in 2019 by Giovanni Ciferri in Genoa, Italy. The company quickly gained traction by offering accessible and engaging fitness training programs tailored to a wide audience. Buddyfit's mission was to make fitness more inclusive and convenient, leveraging technology to bring professional training into the homes of its users.

In its early years, Buddyfit attracted significant attention from investors, raising a total of $21.3 million. This funding enabled the company to expand its offerings and enhance its platform, solidifying its position in the competitive online fitness market.

A pivotal moment in Buddyfit's journey came in September 2024, when it was acquired by 7NXT, a German fitness startup known for its brands Gymondo and 7Mind. This acquisition marked a significant milestone for Buddyfit, as it allowed the company to extend its reach into new European markets and integrate into a larger ecosystem of fitness solutions.

The acquisition by 7NXT was a strategic move that bolstered the subscriber base of the 7NXT companies to over 800,000, enhancing their market presence across Europe. For Buddyfit, this transition represented not just an expansion opportunity but also a validation of its innovative approach to fitness.

Today, Buddyfit continues to thrive under the 7NXT umbrella, contributing to the growing trend of digital fitness solutions that cater to the evolving needs of health-conscious consumers worldwide.
