Our story

Hi, I am
Ahmed.

I built Gymmie because I needed it.

Who I am

I am the founder of Gymmie. I started this journey at 140 kilograms, and I have been fighting my way through it ever since, with good months and bad ones.

I am not at my final shape, and I am not going to pretend I am. I am still on the way. That is exactly why I built this.

Why I started

Most fitness apps felt made for people who already had it figured out. I needed something that fit a real life: busy days, missed weeks, starting over.

Gymmie did not start as a business plan. It started from a need, mine first, and then I realized I was not the only one.

What Gymmie is about

Not a perfect streak. Not a perfect body. Just showing up again, one day after another, with something in your pocket that keeps you company when you do not feel like it.

Fitness built around your life.

The very first version

This is Gymmie in its first form, on a big screen in front of a jury. I pitched it, listened to their honest advice, and went back to build something better.

I am still on my way. Come with me.
