TechHive, March 29, 2013: Wello brings the gym home through live training service


Reporter Agam Shah wrote an article for TechHive.com about Wello, one of Fitphile’s startup consulting clients that has since been acquired by Weight Watchers International. (Disclosure: Shah is an acquaintance & former client of Fitphile founder Judy Kuan)

 

Here’s a short excerpt:

 

Technology was an initial hurdle for Aisha Baro, who had to upgrade an old computer to use Wello. She now works out twice a week, which provides her flexibility on where and when to train.

 

“At a regular gym I would be assigned to a trainer based on my availability. Here I got to choose,” said Baro, who lives in Half Moon Bay, California.

 

Baro has retained her gym membership, but supplements it with training on Wello from Judy Kuan, a New York City resident and a part-time fitness trainer. Wello has helped Kuan balance fitness training with her other professional commitments.

 

“Wello finds the clients and provides the business infrastructure, and all I have to do is show up, get to know the clients, and focus on providing really spectacular workouts,” Kuan said.
