How did eGym start ?
Our founder Philipp Rösch-Schlanderer spent a year abroad at Columbia University. There he went to the gym for the very first time and couldn`t understand why smart people could go to a place like that – a dark and stinky room in the basement without any windows and totally outdated fitness machines. So he got the
idea to revolutionize the fitness market and to develop smart fitness machines connecting hardware and software opportunities. When he told his school-friend Florian Sauter – our second founder and CTO – about the approach, he was excited to jump in and so eGym was founded back in June 2010.
