Let’s go 🔥
HYBRD - is Strava for elite athletes who combine strength and cardio training. It brings all your training data together by integrating with top wearables and uses AI to make tracking weightlifting easy. This allows athletes to fully understand their training load, track holistic progress over time.
Yesterday, they had an iOS app launch based on the information from LinkedIn.
I recently discovered this product and have been following it for a few weeks now. As a former rowing athlete and someone who usually combines strength training, swimming, and running during the winter season, I find this type of app potentially very helpful for evaluating and tracking performance.
Finding the right balance between strength and endurance can be challenging, but if this app can achieve that through personalization and data, I believe it has huge potential. Moreover, the line between amateur and professional athletes is becoming increasingly blurred. A product like this is another step forward in improving performance across both amateur and professional sports.
I'm really excited about it and plan to include it in an upcoming case study.
Output Sports - is on mission is to make elite-level sports-science data simple and scalable. They specialise in providing high-value, low-burden data and insights to sports practitioners working at all levels of sport. Their single-sensor V2 solution provides a 360-degree view of a weight room and physio clinic with seamless athlete testing and tracking with a single state-of-the-art wearable and real-time decision-making dashboards in the Output Hub.
ONVY - empowers health & wellness companies to enter a new era of AI-powered and data-driven health personalization with over 320+ wearable integrations and an AI Health Coach as a Service.
Just one month ago they raised over 2$ million in a seed extenstion.
Seems that they want to aggregate all the possible data from wearables and to create a more holistic and individual approach to people health.
Superpower - is the world's most advanced platform to optimize your health.
I would say that the area is similar to what we had above with ONVY. The idea to track your health with different biomarkers and to have individual health tracking and approach.
Furthermore, they just today has raised $30M in Series A funding.
Jimme - simplifies corporate wellbeing by providing HR teams with an easy-to-use platform to book and manage diverse, health-conscious team activities. They help companies enhance employee wellbeing, strengthen team collaboration, and boost engagement, making workplace wellness effortless.
A note from the author ✍️
Why should you learn about all these products? For me, the answer is obvious: it helps you understand what’s happening in the sports industry and where the focus is shifting. You can study the product, its positioning, design, and marketing funnels, and analyze them to apply the insights to your own product or industry. It’s also an opportunity to think outside the box and understand what’s working and what’s not.
I think we could endlessly debate the necessity of all these products, tracking tools, and metrics. But one thing I can say for sure: all of this has gamified the entire sports experience, making the sport itself better and more engaging.
See you soon!
Cheers,
Taras ✌️
