BeatFit

What BeatFit does

BeatFit is a digital health and fitness platform operated by Tokyo-based Aristol Inc. (株式会社アリストル), founded January 9, 2018. The core product is the Beatfit consumer app (iOS and Android, ¥1,980/month with a 30-day free trial), which delivers more than 1,000 original audio-guided fitness classes across 12 genres — including stretching, strength training, walking, running, yoga, meditation, and sleep — combined with a machine learning personalization engine designed to drive exercise habit formation. The app integrates with Apple HealthKit, Google Fit, Health Connect, and Fitbit devices. As of October 2025, BeatFit reported approximately 600,000 cumulative users and a 4.5/5.0 App Store rating.

The B2B product, Beatfit for Biz, is an enterprise health-management solution sold via direct sales, enabling companies, government bodies, and health insurance associations to deploy the BeatFit app to employees with a real-time utilization dashboard, custom virtual team events, WebView-based embedding into corporate intranets, and onboarding within five business days. Named enterprise customers include Daiwa Securities Group (since 2020), NTT Docomo Group (since 2021, ~11,000 employees in a single event), JERA (since 2024), YG Health Insurance Association with Yahoo Japan and 19 member companies (15,000 insured members), JR Central, Itochu, Kellogg's Japan, Nissin Group, and Tokyu Department Store. Approximately 65% of Beatfit for Biz clients have obtained 健康経営銘柄 (Health Management Stock) or ホワイト500 certification per company disclosure.

Monetization combines consumer subscription revenue, per-employee enterprise subscription pricing with volume discounts, a ticket-based Sales Partner Program (launched April 2023) resold by medical clinics, gyms, electronics retailers, and benefits providers, corporate Fitbit hardware resale, and a Health Management Consulting service staffed by data scientists. In April 2026, the company launched the industry-first RAG-based AI trainer 'Fitti' (フィッテイ), integrating proprietary behavioral change data with large language models to provide proactive conversational coaching. Strategic partnerships include Mitsui Fudosan, UDCK Town Management, and BIPROGY for the Kashiwanoha Smart City initiative (since December 2022), plus a Kobe City government pilot (since January 2024).
