Our Story
Hello! We are Patricia and Michael, the co-founders of Boostcamp.
We’ve been friends since college and both now live in Brooklyn, NY.
We’re so happy that you found our community of fitness enthusiasts from 160 countries across the globe.
Boostcamp started as a small idea: to make workout programs easier to use.
We put together the early draft of Boostcamp while working full-time at our previous jobs.
Patricia, with her engineering background, spent many long nights coding the app from scratch.
Michael, as the fitness fanatic and venture capitalist, reached out to reknowned coaches to develop the first few programs.
Bowen (seen below), who is Pat’s husband and Michael’s best friend, also helps with Boostcamp during the weekends.
After building the MVP product, we hoped to get sample feedback from just a dozen users.
To our surprise, our post on Reddit caught traction, and we gained thousands of users overnight…crashing the app!
With the continued support from our community, we’ve both left our day jobs to build Boostcamp full-time.
Our mission now is to make evidence-based fitness mainstream, and make fitness accessible to everyone.
