Unlike workout or coaching apps, Brawn is the only app focused on helping gyms reduce new member churn and creating leads for personal trainers.
Brawn is the solution for gym-goers who are early or new to strength training, lacking confidence and motivation and seeking guidance and purpose.
Our community-focussed app connects members both to their gym and to other members who lift, while making training easier with audio workouts, engaging gym challenges and intelligent progress tracking.
