Zing

What Zing does

Zing Coach, Inc. (doing business as Zing, and previously known simply as "Zing") is a privately held AI-powered fitness application company founded in 2021 with Belarusian diaspora roots and now operating with its registered office in Wilmington, Delaware, a physical office in West Palm Beach, Florida, and an engineering presence in Warsaw, Poland. The company is backed by Palta, a strategic health-tech operating parent. Its core product is a mobile subscription app that delivers hyper-personalized workout programs using a proprietary combination of computer vision for real-time form tracking and a GPT-based conversational AI Coach. Users begin with a free quiz, receive personalized exercises, and convert to paid subscriptions via the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or the company's own web checkout (zing.coach / zing-gym.coach), with optional one-time purchases for body composition scans and workbooks.

The underlying technology stack integrates computer vision (further strengthened by the February 2024 acquisition of Zenia, a market leader in real-time workout performance tracking), an LLM-driven conversational coach powered by OpenAI's GPT API, a recommendation engine that adapts programs based on user goals, available equipment, fatigue, and activity levels, and integrations with Apple HealthKit and Google Health Connect for cross-platform health data ingestion. The product supports photo-based body composition analysis with periodic tracking of lean mass and body fat changes.

Zing's go-to-market is primarily product-led and consumer-facing, with a freemium trial funnel, App Store Optimization (Top 100 workout apps, 4.8 App Store / 4.5 Google Play ratings), content marketing via an extensive fitness library blog, and high-leverage co-marketing through partnerships with Paris Saint-Germain (through 2027), Les Mills, and New York Sports Club. The company also operates a small but growing B2B distribution channel via MYCO, a white-label AI coach embedded in NYSC's gym ecosystem. Reported scale includes 1M+ downloads, 1M+ completed workouts since 2021, 25% month-over-month user growth, and a $10M Series A round closed in 2024 led by Zubr Capital and TriplePoint Capital.
