About MANA

More Than Fitness. 

A Mission.

MANA was born out of a belief that movement can change more than your body — it can change your mind, and even the world. We live in a time where mental health is one of the biggest challenges people face. Clarity, resilience, and confidence often feel out of reach.

We believe the answer is simple, but not easy: keep moving. Every streak you build, every check-in you complete, every small step forward  it strengthens you. And together, as a community, it becomes something bigger: a force for tackling the global mental health crisis.

The MANA Ecosystem

We didn’t set out to build just another fitness app. We set out to create a system — one that makes consistency stick, and makes discipline exciting.

That system became the MANA ecosystem. It’s where mindset, training, and nutrition are connected through the MOVE™ engine. Where gyms turn into playgrounds, where crews compete, and where leaderboards remind you that showing up matters.

It’s where discipline feels less like a chore and more like a game — streaks, XP, and points that reward you for staying the course. It’s where coaching and community are never far away. And it’s where every bit of progress you make contributes to something bigger than yourself.

Our Vision

We don’t believe energy is finite. It’s an endless force, created in motion. As long as you keep moving, your energy grows.

That’s the vision behind MANA: to turn movement into mental strength, to make consistency accessible for everyone, and to build the world’s largest and most connected training club — uniting the digital and physical worlds through our platform and MANA Clubs.

Our mission is simple but ambitious: to revolutionize wellness by creating the world’s largest and healthiest training club. We exist to empower 4.3 billion young adults to build better habits. By connecting local gyms and MANA Clubs into one global network, we bridge the digital and physical realms of wellness. We simplify the pursuit of health, transforming members into leaders and trainers within a supportive ecosystem.

MANA is shaping the future by empowering the next generation to thrive.We call it: Power Through Movement.

This Is My Invitation

After more than a decade coaching people in the gym — over 20,000 hours of 1:1 training — I saw the same struggles repeat: broken routines, failed diets, burnout, and a steady decline in mental health.

MANA is my answer to that problem. A system designed not just to help people train harder, but to help them live better. Built with partners who share the same vision, we created something ambitious and essential: a platform that makes you move, and rewards you for it.

You do the work. We give you the system to make it last.This is my invitation: Join MANA.
