What You Should Know:

–  Today, connected fitness startup GROWL emerged from stealth to unveil a groundbreaking product: a boxing bag transformed into a personal, at-home boxing & fitness coach. The product goes beyond traditional fitness devices, offering an immersive, gamified and AI-enabled experience designed for the whole family. 

–  GROWL’s product reveal is backed by $4.75M in seed funding from a notable group of investors, including lead investor Skip Capital, along with Kima Ventures, Teampact Ventures, and former UFC Heavyweight Champion Ciryl Gane. With its innovative approach, GROWL enters the $322B global fitness industry, targeting the $110B U.S. fitness market, which is growing at approximately 7% annually amid increasing demand for premium health and fitness solutions.

GROWL: Revolutionizing At-Home Fitness with Interactive Boxing Technology

GROWL is redefining connected fitness by introducing the world’s first life-sized, interactive boxing and fitness coach, merging immersive technology with the transformative power of boxing. Founded in 2022 by Léo Desrumaux and Nicolas de Maubeuge, GROWL operates from Austin and Paris, offering a full-body, high-intensity workout that fits seamlessly into the home. Through advanced AI, precision sensors, and cutting-edge gaming technology, GROWL delivers an authentic and personalized fitness experience that caters to all fitness levels, ages, and goals.

Core Product Features

  • Life-Sized Interactive Coach: Combines AI capabilities and high-resolution projection to create a personal trainer experience at home.
  • Authentic Resistance: Replicates the feel of a heavy bag, delivering a high-intensity cardio and strength workout.
  • Immersive Gaming Experience: Powered by Unreal Engine, GROWL provides electrifying content, allowing users to compete and engage in game-like boxing scenarios.
  • AI-Driven Feedback: Multi-camera 3D motion tracking and edge-AI computing provide real-time, personalized insights to enhance form and technique.
  • Family-Friendly Workouts: Offers diverse exercises, from technical boxing to yoga, suitable for individuals aged 10 and above.

A Breakthrough in Connected Fitness

GROWL enters the connected fitness market as the demand for boxing surges. Fitness boxing has evolved into a widely accessible and empowering discipline, with endorsements from celebrities and increasing popularity across the U.S. Currently ranked as the #1 fitness activity Americans aged 18–45 want to try, it represents a burgeoning sector in boutique fitness.

Supported by visionary investors, including Skip Capital and former UFC Heavyweight Champion Ciryl Gane, GROWL challenges the dominance of cycling, rowing, and strength training in the connected fitness space.

A Premium Yet Accessible Offering

Positioned as a high-end product, GROWL provides a family-access subscription model, priced at:

  • $150/month for 48 months or $190/month for 36 months (hardware and subscription included).
    With buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) options, GROWL offers a premium fitness experience at a competitive and accessible monthly cost.

The Transformative Power of Boxing

Boxing, once niche and intimidating, is now one of the most sought-after fitness disciplines. GROWL capitalizes on this trend by blending technology and sport, creating an engaging and effective at-home workout solution.

GROWL is not just another fitness device—it’s a revolution in connected fitness, bringing the power of boxing and a complete fitness ecosystem into the home. From cutting-edge AI to its family-friendly design, GROWL stands poised to reshape the way people train, challenge themselves, and connect through fitness.
