Catering to college students yearning for six-pack abs to a 70-year old aspiring to stay active and fit, SQUATS has 450,000 retained members reaching out to them online. The newly launched app- FITTR- through its comprehensive services is sure to emerge as a one-stop shop for health and fitness services.
SQUATS began as a revolution on Facebook in 2016. Initially, the idea was to address the challenges in the fitness industry where lack of information, trust, satisfactory results, quick-fix solutions, and fad diets were affecting its reputation. Eventually, over the last 24 months, the platform’s integrated online and offline presence has helped SQUATS in implementing a different approach to help the members by providing them with the right knowledge to community support, mentorship and guidance by its team of 130+ consultants. Currently, apart from its mobile debut, the platform is on its way to open 10 centres by the end of this financial year and targets +120 centres by 2020 aiming to reach out to those who prefer face-to-face counselling. Meanwhile, the centres in Pune, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi and Raipur have already started operating.
