Customer testimonial
All women go through significant change, physically and emotionally, as life stages change and their bodies age. To remain happy and healthy requires physical strength and energy. But many struggle to find the time to stay fit as they juggle work, child or ageing-parent care, home admin etc. The niix app meets these needs providing short, achievable, home workouts, all of which are designed for women approaching 40 and beyond. As one customer says: "niix has really changed the way that I not only exercise, but also the way I think about it. The ease of being able to fit in 10 or 20 minutes in my own home is brilliant".
The global fitness app market is growing fast, set to be worth $2bn by 2023. Most fitness apps are focused on weight loss and body aesthetics for millennial markets. We see a huge opportunity to support women beyond this, who have simply outgrown an approach that is obsessed with the perfect body.
Set up by Nicki Philips, a 40+ mum, in less than 2 years niix has achieved:
- 12,000+ downloads globally
- Proven growth metrics: average cost of acquisition of £3.80 per subscription, yielding an average of £12.60 net sales = >3x return.
Funds raised will help scale up proven marketing channels to significantly grow community and subscriber bases, ultimately turning niix into the no.1 digital fitness brand for women approaching 40+.
Revenue of £15k and -(£42k) EBITDA in '19.
