The founders of Chattanooga-based fitness startup Onsight Fitness are expanding their focus on lifelong fitness for everyday people into new markets, despite the economic challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.
“We decided to continue our expansion during COVID because we believe it’s more important than ever for people to learn how to exercise safely and for life,” said Onsight Fitness co-founder and CEO Matt Averyhart.
Averyhart came to Chattanooga in 2014 to work with startup Bellhop as it rapidly expanded its moving business.
“From there, I kind of got addicted to developing scalable models that help a lot of people,” said Averyhart, a Denver native who played football for Texas Christian University.
In 2016, Averyhart worked with Onsight Fitness co-founders Josh Johann and Christine Hagemeyer, who both have degrees in exercise physiology from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, to open the first Onsight studio in Red Bank.
