The Fitness League

The wait is over. In this follow-up to our origin story, we’re officially pulling the curtain all the way back and unveiling what Project B has been all along: The Fitness League — a fitness platform built for busy humans who want to train smarter, live stronger, and actually enjoy the process.

We’re talking: The full vision behind The Fitness League How we’re using tech to make fitness personal (and fun) Why we believe gamifying health can change how people show up The core values driving everything we build What to expect as a member of the League If you’ve ever felt like fitness apps were built for someone else’s life — this one’s for you. We didn’t just build another app. We built what we wished existed. And it will soon be yours too.
