About Moxie:

Moxie was founded in the year 2020 by Diego de Jódar, Emily Baumgartner, Ignas Peciura, Jason Goldberg, Renee Wong and Sunil Khedar. It is an online fitness platform that provides regular fitness routines and fitness instructors.

Prior to the pandemic Moxie’s team of founders were focused on building software for large companies. However the pandemic, like it has done to many industries, disrupted most of the team’s projects and the team lost all of its major customers. Instead of giving up the team decided to come up with something that is relevant to the current situation.

With the pandemic driving people indoors, fitness and regular gym also began to witness a drop in footfall. But people still felt the need for movement and physical & mental wellness. That is where Moxie came in.

Moxie provides a wide range of fitness expertise to everyone from beginners to people who are already pros in fitness. Its platform includes video instructions from some of the best fitness instructors tailored to the requirements of individual users.

What the CEO has to say:

“Moxie was born during the pandemic alongside thousands of independent fitness instructors who were forced out of gyms and studios and suddenly had to become entrepreneurs and navigate the new frontier of virtual fitness. Now we are seeing widespread adoption of online fitness into people’s lives, and Moxie’s growth proves that these shifts in consumer behavior have staying power.”—Jason Goldberg, co-founder and CEO of Moxie.
