Fitness Box takes a Gold Medal in the Canadian International Invention Innovation Competition

Fitness Box, a venture in incubation at Empowered Startups, was awarded a gold medal at the seventh annual International Invention Innovation Competition in Canada (iCAN), receiving recognition for “outstanding creativity and excellence in innovation” for the business concept.

iCAN is an international innovation competition that aims to unite global creative and innovative initiatives with Canadian inventors and provide participants with the opportunity to expand their international network and promote their inventions, new products, and research projects through a weekend of competition, collaboration, and knowledge sharing. The competition was organized by the Toronto International Society of Innovation and Advanced Skills, with participants from over 86 different countries.

Fitness Box’s mission is to make a healthy lifestyle easily accessible to all by creating mobile fitness facilities equipped with high quality fitness equipment, personal trainers, and fitness classes. Founder Mehdi Givechi created Fitness Box after seeing a gap in the market for Muslim women and busy urban dwellers who require private facilities due to culture and religion or cannot find the time to exercise at a conventional gym. 

Mehdi’s main goals for participating in iCAN 2022 were to showcase his venture to Canadian investors and connect with the international entrepreneurship community in Toronto. Fitness Box and its mobile booking app will be available for customers to use in downtown Toronto in Q4, 2022.

Mehdi Givechi founded Fitness Box during the pandemic to broaden access to gyms and fitness facilities by creating mobile pop-up gyms equipped with high quality fitness equipment, personal trainers, and enhanced safety measures such as thermal scanners, air purifiers, and anti-microbial coated equipment.
