Greetings Investors,
The U.S. health and fitness industry is booming and is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.Staying healthy and looking good will never go out of style and the pandemic forced more people to take their health routines at home. This evolution changed the at home fitness market considerably and created a market for FORME to thrive in.
a newly public digital fitness company that combines award-winning smart home gyms with 1:1 personal training (from real humans).
The company has a goal to deliver an immersive experience and better outcomes for BOTH consumers and trainers.
The combination of stay-at-home exercise and socially distanced socializing has led to a “new normal” in health and fitness. The home-fitness equipment business grew by 170%, and fitness app downloads grew by 46% worldwide.
The Peloton (NASDAQ: PTON) brand (which has a $5B+ market cap) became a household name, and other similar products like the Mirror, Hydrow, and Tonal also entered the market, backed by celebrity endorsers.
There have always been proponents of at-home workouts, but the justification for many to avoid the gym is now more profound than ever since the pandemic. This will undeniably affect the popularity of gyms moving forward and emphasize the growing at-home workout arena.
Through years of research and development, FORME has developed the smartest business model compared to its peers that is designed to generate high annual recurring revenue.
FORME began mass production of its smart home gyms at the end of 2022 and is already sold out.
The company’s current product portfolio, which consists of FORME Studio, FORME Studio Lift, and health coaching services, including a VOD membership, and Live 1:1 personal training, addresses a large consumer base.
The Company’s management includes industry leaders who bring strength in finance and fitness: Trent Ward, Chief Executive Officer, who had a successful career in finance having worked at Citadel, Deepak Mulchandani, Chief Technology Officer, who was on the management team of Peloton.
FORME is differentiated as the only company to offer live 1:1 and asynchronous coaching memberships from the industry’s highest quality personal trainers.
According to the 2021 Global Wellness Institute, total global spending in the wellness industry in 2020 was $4.4 trillion, of which approximately $740 billion was spent on fitness and other categories of wellness, including yoga, barre, and Pilates.

One of the best ways to protect, improve and transform your health is to work with an expert and FORME has hired a team of world-class trainers in the fitness and wellness industry.
FORME designed their product portfolio to be modular and customizable so that their product and service offerings can be tailored to a broad range of fitness goals, budgets, and needs, thereby accessing a larger addressable market.
According to the company’s research, they believe their total addressable market includes nearly 10 million households, representing total potential revenue of $18 billion, all of which is in the United States.
The company offers Live 1:1 personal training as a monthly membership starting at $399, which includes four Live 1:1 training sessions per month, unlimited custom workouts (through the Company’s Custom Training offering), and access to their VOD library.

This is an exciting time to pay attention to FORME’s stock (Nasdaq: TRNR), as the company is now ready to commercialize after a recent IPO
In the last five years, FORME has raised $120M from investors during development. The money from its IPO will help the company transition to rapid growth as it forges ahead with its commercialization efforts.
In fitness, nearly 70% of spending has historically been weighted toward products rather than services, according to McKinsey. However, wellness services and apps are gaining ground. According to McKinsey, in 2022, approximately 45% of consumers intend to spend more on wellness services or app-based wellness services over the next year, while approximately 25% intend to spend more on fitness products.
Health coaching can often result in optimal fitness outcomes because coaches offer expert guidance, accountability, and motivation, but the Company believes that these services have historically been inaccessible to many due to cost and lack of convenience. The company believes digitization can lower the cost of personal training and health coaching, primarily due to lower distribution costs relative to gyms. Further, digitization can increase peak capacity and utilization for service providers, and increase convenience for clients.
The company’s connected fitness hardware products include the Studio, launched in 2021, the Studio Lift, launched in 2022, and various accessories, including the Barre attachment that can be used with both products. The Studio and Studio Lift were both designed to provide an immersive workout experience delivered through innovative hardware, software, and VOD content.
The Studio is the company’s base product and features a 43-inch 4K ultra high definition (“UHD”) touchscreen display, which is among the largest and highest definition screens in the connected fitness equipment market, and two front-facing 12 megapixel (“MP”), wide angle cameras designed to facilitate seamless live interaction with a trainer.
The design and technology of the platform enables members to engage in a virtual yet truly immersive training experience, whether through On-Demand classes or through Live 1:1 personal training services.
The company’s VOD content library and instruction and health coaching services are accessible via download or streaming through its connected fitness hardware products, as well as via streaming through the Studio app.
They are offered at different price points depending on format and, in the case of Live 1:1 training, personal training services, depending on the needs of the member and the experience level of the personal trainer.
Household trends, work from home, and the rise of mobile technology make it challenging to balance time between family, work, and personal health and wellness, resulting in increasing demand for convenient fitness options. Digitization increases convenience of fitness options for consumers, enabling them to train from home and increasing flexibility to schedule with trainers from different time zones. Trainers are increasingly becoming attracted to digital platforms as well. Digital platforms reduce the time spent on traveling to clients, while value-added tech tools increase efficiency and effectiveness. According to the Personal Trainer Development Center, nearly 83% of trainers plan to offer virtual services compared to 40% of trainers prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
