OUR STORY
We are Patricia and Michael, the co-founders of Boostcamp.
As college friends and Canadians now living in Brooklyn, NY, we started Boostcamp with a simple goal: to make workout programs easier to use.
The idea for Boostcamp began while we were working full-time jobs. Patricia used her engineering skills to build the MVP, while Michael leveraged his fitness expertise to collaborate with respected coaches and develop the app’s initial programs.
Initially, we hoped to attract a small group of users to test our product. However, when we shared Boostcamp on Reddit, it quickly gained thousands of users overnight (and crashed our servers!)
The incredible support we received enabled us to leave our jobs and focus on Boostcamp full time. Our mission is to make evidence-based fitness mainstream and accessible to everyone.
