Whats MyARC?

The future of fitness is creator centric and MyARC is building the operating system for it.

The online fitness market is set to hit $60bn by 2027, and fitness content creators with their huge fan bases are best positioned to capture this. They just dont have the tools for it.

A creator with 100k+ followers can only train ~30 clients using todays solutions, because they need to manually personalise each workout for each client. Thats why online coaching costs anywhere between $500-$1,000/month for consumers. Its not scalable for creators as assistant coaches need to be hired nor is it affordable for fans. Thats where MyARC comes in.

We automatically personalise generic training plans to any individual users needs. This means one creator can now train unlimited fans, providing creators with a scalable business model that doesnt require an army of coaches, and fans get affordable personalised fitness with price coming down from $1,000/month to $20/month.

Already, weve taken creators from minimum wage to 6-figure earnings and were on track to create MyARC millionaires on the platform. There are 1000s of users around the world with serious health transformations ranging from users overcoming obesity and coming out of a diabetic state, to cancer survivors gaining muscle for the first time.

MyARC democratises personalised fitness for consumers and economically empowers creators.
