SportBox is revolutionizing access to fitness in urban spaces. The Central Hessian start-up app and move GmbH, founded in Kirchhain in 2018, offers an app-based rental system for outdoor fitness equipment with the innovative SportBox.[1][2][4] Users can borrow equipment such as medicine balls, kettlebells, super and mini bands free of charge from public places in cities and municipalities - simply activated via a smartphone app.[1] This makes professional training suitable for everyday use and location-independent, directly in city centers or parks.[1]
The model is expanding: Many municipalities are testing the boxes to popularize outdoor sports.[1]
SportBox stands for movement for all - the founders Timo Wozniak and Leon Martijn van Dijk are driving forward a vision that democratizes health.[1][2] Core values are innovation, accessibility and community. Emerging from Central Hesse, they use regional networks for growth and emphasize networking as a booster.[1][4] The company motivates people to take responsibility for their own fitness, strengthens local economies and creates motivated teams.[5][6]
Although explicit sustainability goals are not documented in detail, the concept contributes indirectly: Less transport required by local rental stations reduces CO₂ emissions, and durable equipment minimizes consumer waste.[1] SportBox is committed to the region, e.g. through partnerships for a "strong local economy and sustainable future".[5] The expansion with cities aims at healthier, more active societies - a contribution to public health.[1]
Why SportBox is fascinating: In a sedentary world, it makes fitness playful and inclusive. With strong growth potential (HRB 7269, Amtsgericht Marburg), the company is positioning itself as a pioneer for smart urban sports solutions.[2] Whether spontaneous workout or corporate fitness: SportBox is moving Germany!
