Motosumo is an at-home indoor cycling platform for live, interactive classes using any bike.
This Danish fit-tech company was founded in 2015 by an eclectic team of athletes, engineers, and astrophysicists. They realized that the motion sensors found inside smartphones could be used to generate live fitness metrics, like cadence and power, on any bike. So, they built an app and added some fun interactive features and games. It worked. For years, Motosumo was a mainstay in gyms and fitness studios around the world, helping them upgrade their basic equipment and revitalize their indoor cycling and group fitness classes.
In response to the Covid crisis and the new landscape of the fitness industry, Motosumo built an entirely new platform for the home user. They teamed up with a network of world-class instructors to create a global schedule of live, daily classes. Thanks to its unique tech, Motosumo works with any bike, no matter how basic. Everyone can enjoy the same immersive, interactive fitness experience at just $12.99 a month.
