Sales / Acquisition Intern

Job description

London is active. There are classes going on at all times and in every pocket of the city. These classes always have attendees but on average, they are only 60% full. Here, at Fitu, our goal is to sell these remaining spaces by offering them at a cheaper price.

We’re on a mission to bring much-needed flexibility to the fitness industry, giving you the freedom and convenience to book any physical activity that is happening around you, without the need for a membership!

Fitu finds fitness activities for you, which you didn’t even know existed, giving you full access to what the city has to offer. Think activities like, disco yoga, outdoor bootcamps, salsa classes, kickboxing and so much more!

In a short period of time, we partnered up with over 200 London fitness studios, gyms and trainers.
