myClubs combines the offerings of numerous yoga studios, CrossFit boxes, tennis courts, climbing gyms and various other course and sports providers in a digital membership model. Customers can choose from more than 30 different sports via the myClubs app and book directly. In Austria, myClubs already has more than 400 contract partners, in Switzerland it has so far been possible to train with more than 300 providers. With the purchase of the Swiss start-up Gymhopper, the network will be expanded by 200 additional providers. While myClubs has so far been characterized by a wide range of courses (including Yoga, CrossFit, Spinning - golf and wakeboarding in the summer), Gymhopper has the largest network of owner-managed fitness studios.

The Gymhopper product line will be continued after purchase by myClubs. The aim of the takeover is to create a transnational digital sports offer for companies. With its flexible memberships for end customers and companies, myClubs has so far concentrated strongly on urban space. With Gymhopper, the network of sports start-ups is now also growing in the regions around Zurich, Bern, Basel, Geneva and Lausanne. The stronger market position in these areas creates good conditions for the planned introduction of new corporate fitness offers. "In recent years, we have built the largest network of owner-managed gyms in Switzerland, and with myClubs, we now have a strong digital partner to bring together corporate fitness products and support our partner studios in competition with the big chains." Gymhopper CEO Silvan Krähenbühl comments on future cooperation.

"The acquisition of Gymhopper is strategically important in order to expand our market leadership in the digital fitness market in Switzerland as well. We've known Silvan and his team since the gymhopper launch, and we're happy to see them strengthen myClubs in the future, "said myClubs Founder and CEO Tobias Homberger about the Gymhopper purchase.
