About Fithub

Fithub is a technology-driven fitness company based in Jakarta, Indonesia, that operates a chain of community-focused fitness centers. Founded in late 2020 by Edward Djaja and William Tjajadi, the company is on a mission to democratize fitness by providing affordable and accessible, high-quality gym facilities. Fithub targets the rising middle class in Indonesia, where a significant gap exists between high-priced gym memberships, averaging around US$50 per month, and the demand for quality fitness services.

The company's primary business is its physical, hyperlocal gyms, which offer memberships at a significantly lower price point of approximately US$17 per month. This strategy has proven effective, attracting over 50,000 paying members across 60 clubs in 14 cities, with a notable 40-50% of these members being first-time gym-goers. Fithub provides a range of services including premium equipment and various free classes such as Zumba, yoga, and weight training. The business model also includes an option for investors to open their own gyms under the Fithub brand, with the company charging a management fee.

Fithub has successfully secured $6.5 million in seed funding over two rounds. The first round in March 2022 brought in $3 million, followed by a $3.5 million extension in late 2022 from a consortium of investors including East Ventures, Global Founders Capital, Wavemaker Partners, and Goodwater Capital. These funds are being utilized to accelerate the company's expansion, with a goal of opening 100 clubs. Beyond its physical footprint, Fithub is developing its digital presence, planning to launch an e-commerce platform for healthy foods, apparel, and workout equipment, alongside offering free online workout content to build a comprehensive health and wellness ecosystem.
