About
It’s no longer good enough for fitness to just be an activity for home. People want to be able to continue their active routine when traveling too. But it’s not easy to get access to quality fitness facilities in new locations, so TrainAway was built to give active travelers an easy way to get into a gym – anywhere in the world.
Key features:
• Gym day passes available for purchase using a simple mobile app and website
• No membership or subscription required
• Partner gyms in 50 countries across five continents
The back story
TrainAway was founded by two guys who traveled a lot, but were sick of having to make such an effort just trying to get into a gym. Whether it was language barriers, endless form filling, or the gym not allowing guests at all, they knew the process could be improved.
They started TrainAway to make life easier for travelers like them.
