JOYFIT, a company specializing in smart home fitness technology, has announced the commencement of the ‘Road to Grand Prizes’ event on July 30. The event will be facilitated by PitPat, recognized as the largest online competition platform globally. JOYFIT is capitalizing on the Paris Olympics to highlight virtual sports and online competitions. The event will feature a prize pool exceeding $100,000 for participants in online competitions. Registration for the event will be available from July 30 to August 31, with the competition also running during this period, coinciding with the Paris Olympics athletics events. Participation is currently restricted to users who have purchased JOYFIT’s SupeRun and DeerRun brand treadmills.
Kevin Zhang, CEO of JOYFIT and founder of PitPat, emphasized that the Olympics epitomize the highest levels of human athletic spirit, aligning well with PitPat’s online competition model. PitPat aims to promote online competitions globally, offering a convenient and equitable competition format that allows for participation from home. The platform seeks to extend the competitive and collaborative aspects of traditional sports to a broader audience, fostering the development of virtual sports events.
JOYFIT has been at the forefront of indoor fitness technology, integrating advancements in virtual reality and the metaverse. Following the release of Apple’s Vision Pro, JOYFIT launched PitPat Pro, a fitness app compatible with Vision Pro, providing users with an immersive workout experience.
Data from PitPat indicates that users who connect their smart treadmills to the platform have increased their indoor exercise activities and participation in online competitions. The virtual town, PitPat World, facilitates daily training and social interactions, contributing to users’ physical health.
PitPat offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional gyms and training programs. Users need only purchase equipment from PitPat’s partner brands, DeerRun and SupeRun, to access free training and courses, eliminating recurring gym membership fees and professional training costs.
The platform also supports team competitions and large-scale events such as online marathons. PitPat has organized several globally recognized marathons, allowing users to participate in virtual races and challenges, interacting with participants worldwide.
PitPat operates with a focus on environmental sustainability, adhering to ESG principles. By promoting virtual sports, PitPat reduces reliance on traditional sports facilities, thereby lowering carbon footprints and resource consumption. The long lifespan of PitPat’s partner treadmills further minimizes equipment replacement and related waste.
PitPat is dedicated to transparency, fairness, and user data privacy. It aims to be a responsible company that adds value to users and society.
