The Athlo founder, Matthew Mansell believes that cooperation is key to a successful startup company. He believes that you will be able to have the best product, service, or outcome if you work with other people in your company. Athlo is an app that lets users rent out their gym memberships to others when they’re not using them.
A way of securing cash when unable to use the gym memberships is an option. Matthew said that the best products are built with much cooperation and input from users. He said that “the consumer” is in charge of what is made, and they need to be fully involved in the process for it to work properly.
Many startups have a “take no prisoners” mentality and consider competition necessary. Cooperation is more common in established organizations or older or more mature companies. Many startups depend on Disrupting the status quo to get a seat at the table. The problem faced by Matthew Mansell and Athlo was that potential customers might lose interest in their gyms and fitness centers. Mansell had another idea: to help them stay competitive without increasing prices. He was able to change their reservations about cooperating with the fitness platform.
Growth Predicted for Global Fitness Industry
The estimated value of the health and wellness industry in 2022 is $87 billion. Many people want to get or stay in shape as they age. The fitness industry is predicted to grow over the next ten years, and in 2028, it could be worth as much as $352.8 billion or more just in the United States. Athlo is a successful business.
Arguably, the timing of their launch is beneficial because they’ll be able to take advantage of new visitors to their facility. From Matthew Mansell’s perspective, the next fitness unicorn is the platform that can find the connections, growth, and capital companies need to be successful.
