Introduction

FitJab is bringing health and wellness products to women, striving to empower them, increase their independence, and strengthen both their bodies and their self-esteem.

Through our app, we want to give every muslim woman around the world the opportunity to stay fit anywhere, even in her own home!

Problem

Over 800 million muslim women face numerous obstacles in basic rights and societal obstacles from country to country, including:

  • Inability to train in gyms (according to Islamic tradition, women must train in separate gyms from men)
  • Inability to open a bank account without male permission or support
  • Lack of sports and nutrition products on the market meeting women’s needs
  • Minimal support for muslim female entrepreneurs
  • Limited access to higher education for women
  • Limited online resources for women in their native language

FitJab started by finding a solution to one of these problems first. According to a common understanding of muslim tradition, women must train in a separate gym facility from men, and there are very few gyms for women, even in the most developed and rich muslim countries. This gap in services for women is an obvious and critical problem, which led to FitJab’s creation and launch.

Solution

Women in the muslim world lack access to many of the basic services that their male counterparts enjoy.

FitJab aims to bridge this rights and service gap by bringing health, wellness, nutrition, fitness, educational and entrepreneurial support directly to women on their phones and computers.

  • With the FitJab phone app, users are able to complete challenging home workout routines as an alternative to going to the local gym.
  • With FitJab Yoga, users can access both strength- and flexibility-building instructional videos. With FitJab Meditation, users can calm their minds from the stresses of daily life.
  • In the future, FitJab plans to bring nutritional solutions, online educational resources, and guidance and support for female entrepreneurs as well.

When the world is inhospitable to some, it is inhospitable to us all.

FitJab aims to bring some balance into the lives of women in the muslim world who are being left behind in key ways.

Market

Interestingly, one of the fastest growing markets is the Asia-Pacific region, which has a predominantly muslim population. 62% of the muslim world live in the Asia-Pacific region, in which FitJab is already active and growing:

According to a recent McKinsey study, “the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims amount to nearly a quarter of the global population and contribute 16 percent of global GDP, a rate that is growing at 6 percent annually.” FitJab believes the total addressable market of more than 800 million muslim women in the muslim world offers unparalleled opportunity for growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where will FitJab be in 5 years?
Our goal is to become the premier lifestyle and home fitness service in the muslim world. In 5 years, we hope to make FitJab a household name across our target markets.
Why did you choose this idea?
One of our founders is an IRONMAN triathlon athlete, and when he was doing his IRONMAN 70.3 World Finals he saw muslim women swimming 2 kilometers, biking 90 kilometers and running half marathon fully covered and in hijab in 38 degrees celsius heat (100 degrees farenheit). He was inspired a lot by their dedication both to their traditions and to sport. After some simple research on the internet, it was clear that there is no tailored product for muslim women at all; thus, originating the idea of FitJab.
Why can’t muslim women train in the same gym as men?
According to many cultures’ interpretations of the Quran, women are forbidden to engage in fitness training around men. Unfortunately, there are minimal facilities dedicated to serving women’s fitness needs in much of the world, especially in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions. That’s where FitJab comes in - giving women a way to exercise at home without violating Quranic principals or local laws.
How do you make money?
The FitJab app is accessible through a subscription fee to any user worldwide. For users with access to our B2B partners (eg. Telecom subscribers who have FitJab available to them), users can sign up with a subscription that is paid to FitJab through their telecom provider. When we are able to launch FitJab nutrition bars, we plan to sell these directly to consumers through traditional retail outlets as well as online.
When do you expect to generate revenues?
FitJab is already generating revenue! We have been fortunate to experience more than 370% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenue over the past 3 years. As we grow and expand, we aim to also grow and expand existing and new revenue streams.
What problem does FitJab solve?
We want to provide services to people who, so far, don’t have access to those services. We are starting with home fitness, meditation, yoga, and nutrition for muslim women, but until everyone in the world can have access to the same lifestyle benefits as everyone else, FitJab plans to be there!
What will our operations focus on?
We anticipate our next few years of operations will focus on organic growth, revenue growth, and expanding into new markets.
