Tbilisi, Georgia • Sports Ecosystem

"A sports ecosystem that turns training into a sustainable habit for adults and kids through coaching, structure, and community."

What problem do we solve?

Problem

Fitness is fragmented: people try gyms/classes, get lost, drop off, or get injured.
Parents struggle to find structured, safe sports programs that build discipline and confidence.
The biggest enemy is not motivation — it's lack of structure, guidance, and community.

Solution

Structured coaching + progression paths for adults and kids.
Community + lifestyle environment that drives consistency (not just equipment).
