🎉 We're proud to announce that ForActive has closed a $3.6M seed round to accelerate our mission of giving independent fitness and sports professionals the ability to sell like a gym. Today, over 14,000 service providers across the U.S. run their businesses on ForActive - independent trainers and small studio owners who have historically been underserved by software built for large gym chains. ForActive is changing that with a platform purpose-built for solo and small-team sports businesses: recurring payments, attendance tracking, and communication tools that let providers focus on their clients instead of their back office. This funding will allow us to scale our go-to-market efforts across the U.S. and expand into new categories of sport, bringing the same infrastructure to a much broader range of coaches and instructors. We're also doubling down on our commitment to the social impact of sport, supporting providers who bring movement, community, and opportunity to underserved neighborhoods where access to quality sports resources is limited. We're grateful for the support of our Lead Investor Simpact Ventures, as well as BADideas.fund, The Explorer Fund, Pragmatech Ventures, Vesna Capital and Vestbee Angels, whose backing reflects strong conviction in the underserved independent sports market and in our team's ability to serve it well. Thank you to our growing community of trainers and coaches who've trusted us to help run their businesses - this milestone is as much yours as it is ours. #ForActive #SeedRound #SellLikeAGym

He was running his soccer training out of notebooks and Venmo requests. Now he owns his own facility. Alex Sotelo started Top Level Sessions in Richland, WA, training young athletes one session at a time. Payments were manual. Tracking who paid was a mess. Admin ate his time. Then he switched to ForActive. Recurring payments went automatic. Notifications went out on their own. He always knew who paid and who didn't. Less time on admin meant more time coaching. And more time coaching meant his business kept growing until he was ready for the next step. Today Alex owns The 90, the Tri-Cities' first indoor soccer facility. He's still with us, still giving feedback that shapes what we build next.

Now it’s a growing community of trainers building smarter businesses with ForActive. More to come! 🚀

Running a fitness business shouldn’t mean constantly chasing payments. But outdated tools make it feel that way. Coach Ismael knows how to run his fitness business without admin chaos and constantly asking for money. 🤝💰 That’s why we built ForActive. Create plans. Set pricing. Clients pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or credit card. Simple for coaches. Simple for clients. #ForActive #SellLikeAGym
