At Jump Into Motion (JIM), our mission has always been clear: to democratize fitness and empower both trainers and clients through meaningful connections. Today, we’re thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter — our official partnership with FIT Africa.
This collaboration has been a long time in the making. Our first conversation with FIT Africa began more than 18 months ago, when neither party was quite ready to move forward. But the vision stuck. Fast forward to early 2025, and both organizations were prepared to make it a reality. By the end of Q1, the deal was signed, setting the stage for a transformative journey together.
A Shared Vision for the Future of Fitness
Jump Into Motion and FIT Africa are united by a common goal: to democratize health and fitness and support the rapid growth of the industry across Africa and beyond. This is not just a partnership for today — it is a deal built for the future.
As the official technology partner of FIT Africa, JIM will provide the digital infrastructure and innovation that ensures trainers and clients can thrive in a fast-changing industry. Together, we aim to break down barriers, expand opportunities, and provide tools that uplift both trainers and clients.
What This Partnership Means for FIT Africa Members
FIT Africa members will enjoy exclusive benefits through Jump Into Motion, including:
Certified FIT Trainer Badge to highlight their credibility.
Exclusive access to JIM features designed to streamline the trainer-client experience.
Early access to test new features before they are released to the wider community.
By leveraging each other’s reach and resources, both organizations can deliver even greater value to their members and the fitness ecosystem at large.
Opportunities for Trainers
For trainers, this partnership represents much more than visibility. Training providers affiliated with FIT Africa will receive preferential opportunities to advertise their courses on the JIM Trainer Learn marketplace. This not only helps trainers level up their skills but also creates new pathways to increase income and expand their professional footprint.
Benefits for Clients
For clients, the partnership opens the door to a wider pool of trainers from across Africa. With diverse backgrounds, expertise, and training styles, clients will be able to find the perfect match to suit their needs and fitness goals. This variety strengthens the marketplace and ensures a more inclusive fitness experience for everyone.
Expanding Reach Across Africa
Jump Into Motion is already available across Africa, with just a few payment restrictions that will be addressed in the coming weeks. With FIT Africa’s vast network and reputation, this collaboration ensures that more trainers and clients can benefit from easier access, stronger community ties, and expanded opportunities.
Looking Ahead
As FIT Africa’s official technology partner, JIM is committed to building the future of fitness together. This is just the beginning. From in-person projects that bring communities together to technological advancements within the app and FIT Africa platforms, there are countless exciting avenues to explore.
This partnership is not only about what exists today — it’s about shaping what comes next for the African fitness industry.
A Founder’s Perspective
“As the founder of Jump Into Motion, I’m truly excited to be working alongside Akinola and Patricia Maja and the entire FIT Africa team and community. Every member I’ve interacted with so far has been helpful, kind, and deeply committed to fitness. We’re eager to give back to this community by continuing to build an app that allows trainers to level up their income, grow their businesses, and thrive.” - Joshua Grahame.
