Gymlib is a corporate wellness platform based in Paris, France, providing employees with access to fitness and health facilities through employer partnerships. The company operated a B2B2C subscription model, connecting over 600 corporate customers, including Deliveroo, PayFit, Danone, and GRT Gaz, with a network of more than 4,000 gyms and health clubs across France and Belgium. Prior to its acquisition, Gymlib had raised over €15 million in funding from investors such as Breega Capital, Alyan Group, and Fa Dièse. This growth positioned the company as a significant player in the corporate fitness sector before its acquisition by Munich-based EGYM in April 2022, strengthening EGYM's presence in France and Belgium. Gymlib was founded in 2013 by Sébastien Bequart, Mohamed Tazi, and Grégoire Véron.

Gymlib is a French technology company that provides a corporate wellness platform offering employees access to a large network of fitness and well-being facilities. It serves primarily corporate clients by enabling their employees to use pay-as-you-go passes for over 4,000 partner gyms and sports venues across France and Belgium, covering a wide variety of activities such as yoga, boxing, climbing, and more. Gymlib solves the problem of limited and inflexible employee access to fitness options by aggregating diverse sports facilities into a single subscription service, promoting health, well-being, and employer branding. The company has demonstrated strong growth momentum, becoming the market leader in France with around 600 corporate customers and expanding its reach significantly before being acquired by EGYM in 2022[1][2][3].
Founded in 2013 by Sébastien and Grégoire Véron, Gymlib emerged from the founders’ vision to connect the fitness industry with corporate health markets. Early traction was marked by rapid growth in corporate partnerships and facility networks, especially during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, which accelerated demand for flexible, health-oriented employee benefits. The acquisition by EGYM, a global fitness technology leader, marked a pivotal moment, enabling Gymlib to leverage EGYM’s technology and capital to further scale its mission of providing affordable, accessible health-oriented training to employees across industries[1][2].
Gymlib rides the global trend of corporate wellness and digital health, where companies increasingly invest in employee health to boost productivity, reduce absenteeism, and enhance workplace culture. The timing is favorable due to rising awareness of mental and physical health benefits, post-pandemic shifts towards flexible fitness solutions, and growing demand for integrated digital platforms. By bridging fitness providers and corporate clients, Gymlib influences the broader ecosystem by promoting a scalable, tech-enabled model for workplace well-being that can adapt to diverse employee needs and preferences[1][3].
Looking ahead, Gymlib’s future is likely to involve deeper integration with EGYM’s technology suite, expansion into new markets beyond France and Belgium, and enhancement of digital engagement tools to increase user retention and satisfaction. Trends such as personalized fitness, hybrid work models, and data-driven health insights will shape its journey. Gymlib’s influence may evolve from a national leader to a key player in the European corporate wellness tech space, continuing to innovate how companies support employee health and well-being through technology[1][3].
