About

Built from first-hand experience.

LedBy was born to solve a structural flaw: the fitness industry is built around buildings, but client loyalty is built around human beings.

Our story

Instructors were forced to rent access to their own audience.

Independent instructors spend years cultivating relationships, yet they are forced to "rent" access to their own clients from studio databases and unpredictable social media algorithms.

When they move locations, launch independent pop-ups, or expand their careers, their communities fragment and they lose their audience.

LedBy changes that. We enable wellness professionals to retain the student relationships they've earned and fill classes with a tap of a button.
