About us
We train ourselves and spent a long time looking for an app that makes tracking fun and connects us with the right coach. There wasn't one. So we built it.
From the heart of Europe, founded in Frankfurt.
Our story
We, Leon and Frederic, have both been training with passion for over six years. Sport is our balance in everyday life. It gives us structure and builds discipline, and that is exactly the feeling we want to pass on.
What we missed for a long time was a simple way to find the right coach. There was no platform for it. So we built a structure ourselves at the gym: plans, appointments, payments and the motivation to keep going. It worked, but it meant hours of manual work every week.
Over the last few years, we have both worked intensively on building platforms. Along the way, we learned one thing:
The strongest connection comes from community and humanity, not from yet another tool.
So we built Fitiva. An app that brings people and coaches together, takes care of everything around it and puts the focus back on what matters: getting better together. What sport has given us, we want to pass on.
Today Fitiva has both. If you train, you track food, training and progress, with Ava as your personal assistant, and find a coach when you want one. If you coach, you run bookings, payments, plans, events and online courses in one place and get found on the map.

Mission
We want coaches to have more time for coaching and less for admin. And we want everyone who trains to find the right coach and stick with it.
Every feature should take one step off a coach's day, or clear up one question for an athlete. That is why Ava logs, calculates and plans, instead of just giving tips.
Your account and your content are stored in the EU. For Ava and the photo scans, the content needed goes to Anthropic in the USA. We do not sell data. You can download your data at any time, and you delete your account yourself in Settings.
We build what coaches and athletes need day to day. We measure success by whether people stick with it, not by downloads.
Founders
Two founders from Frankfurt. Both train themselves.
Co-founder, product
Had the idea for Fitiva: he was looking for an app that makes training fun and connects him with the right coach, and could not find one. Today he is responsible for the product, from the first sketch to every sentence Ava says.
Leon on LinkedIn

Responsible for business relations and partnerships. He builds the relationships that bring Fitiva to more coaches and athletes, and makes sure a strong app becomes a strong company.

Who Fitiva is built for, what the app offers athletes and coaches, what it costs and who is behind it. The short answer to the question we hear most often.
Frederic von Borries
Ava knows your plan, your workouts and your goal. What she is built for, where her limits are and why your coach keeps the final say.
Frederic von Borries
Why there are three plans for coaches, at what revenue a switch pays off, what the Fitiva fee is and which Stripe card fee comes on top.
