GymIt opens with myClub portal and no sales team
When Boston club GymIt set out to launch, they knew what they wanted and what they didn’t. They wanted 20-29 year old young, connected professionals. They didn’t want sales people, contracts, or price haggling. Even more challenging, they were missing an important piece of the puzzle – a gym!
