MoveLab Connect: How fitness brands build faster, scale smarter, and reduce risk

MoveLab Connect is our comprehensive platform built specifically for the fitness industry to power connected fitness experiences. It includes a ready-to-launch web platform and Android framework featuring the most commonly requested fitness-specific functionalities, so you don’t have to reinvent what already works.

This platform is the result of 10+ years of experience building fitness software for brands, studios, and equipment manufacturers around the world. Every component is based on real production use, real members, and real operational needs.

Built on a foundation you can trust

MoveLab Connect is built on proven technology that is already tested, trusted, and actively used by established fitness brands. Instead of starting from scratch, you build on a solid foundation that has already been validated in the market.

That means:

  • Lower upfront investment by reusing existing backend infrastructure

  • Faster time to market by picking only the components you need

  • No digital infrastructure maintenance as we keep everything running smoothly

  • Scalability by default, from day one

You stay focused on your vision, your members, and your business. We take care of the technical backbone.

Pick and choose the features that matter the most to you

MoveLab Connect is modular by design. You don’t have to commit to a massive all-in-one solution. Instead, you can pick and choose the features that matter for your product today, knowing that you can always expand later.

Whether you’re building a mobile app, a studio screen experience, connected equipment software, or a full digital ecosystem, MoveLab Connect adapts to your needs.
