What ctk does

CTK GmbH is a privately held German company headquartered in Pirmasens that operates under the consumer-facing brand "fit happens" and provides a turnkey system of ZPP-certified §20 SGB V prevention courses for fitness studios, physiotherapy clinics, and corporate health initiatives. Its core product is a portfolio of nine named prevention courses — Feelfit, Mobi, Lunafit, Skillcoach, Yummy, Yara, Neo, Milo, and MiloNext — covering the four statutory action fields of movement, stress, nutrition, and addiction prevention. The underlying technology is a cloud-hosted digital course delivery platform with web-based participant management, documentation, and evaluation tooling, supported by Cloudflare infrastructure; several courses are specifically designed to integrate with partner fitness equipment (milon, five, Sensopro, Skillcourt). CTK's business model combines subscription-based course licensing to studios and practices with transaction-fee facilitation of German statutory health insurance reimbursements; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based with monthly billing. Go-to-market is a consultative direct-sales motion to German SMB fitness studios, augmented by channel partnerships with fitness equipment manufacturers and a self-serve partner portal (partner.ctk.works), with an emerging corporate wellness offering through BGF initiatives under §3 Nr. 34 EStG. The company is led by three managing directors (Thomas Kelbling, Sven Rapphahn, Claudia Towae-Kelbling), has no disclosed institutional investors, and operates exclusively in Germany.

Revenue model

1. Course licensing/subscription: CTK provides ZPP-certified prevention courses to fitness studios and healthcare practices. Studios pay for access to certified course programs, trainer certifications, documentation systems, and implementation support. Revenue is generated through licensing fees for the course concepts and associated administrative systems.
2. Health insurance reimbursement facilitation: §20 prevention courses are covered by German statutory health insurance (ZPP-certified programs). Studios offering these courses can generate revenue through health insurance reimbursements, making the offering financially viable for studio operators.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• EGYM: Munich-based fitness technology company offering connected strength and wellness equipment plus a software platform for corporate and studio fitness. Comparable to CTK as a German B2B fitness-tech provider selling digital systems to studios and corporates, but operating at much broader scale and scope.
• clever fit: Large German discount fitness studio franchise. Comparable to CTK as a downstream buyer persona for ZPP-certified prevention courses and as a potential channel partner; CTK's prevention-as-bundled-service pitch targets chains like clever fit to deploy across their network.
• Kieser Training: German strength-training studio chain with a medical/prevention positioning. Comparable to CTK as a German premium strength-training operator that could either compete in or source prevention-course content; both companies operate in the prevention/medical-fitness overlap.

Others

• milon Industries: German manufacturer of computerized strength-training circuits used in studios and physiotherapy. Comparable to CTK as a core equipment-partner; milon and CTK co-sell Milo/MiloNext prevention courses and share the German studio install base, though milon competes as an OEM while CTK sells certified content.
• five Konzept: German functional-training equipment manufacturer whose devices are the basis for CTK's Mobi course. Comparable to CTK as a tightly integrated equipment and training-concept partner serving German studios.
• Sensopro: Swiss-based coordination and balance training equipment maker whose system underpins CTK's Lunafit course. Comparable as a Core integration partner sharing the DACH studio install base and prevention/training positioning.
• Skillcourt: Reactive/coordination training surface provider whose hardware is the foundation for CTK's Skillcoach course. Comparable as a tightly coupled equipment partner within CTK's prevention-course ecosystem.

Regional players

• Mrs. Sporty: Germany-focused women-only fitness franchise. Comparable as a downstream studio customer segment for CTK's prevention courses; similar to other German SMB studios targeted by CTK's turnkey model.
• Bodystreet: German EMS-training microstudio franchise. Comparable to CTK as a German studio-format target customer and adjacency in the prevention/medical-fitness segment, particularly relevant for hybrid/digital course delivery in space-constrained locations.

Emerging players

• Urban Sports Club: Berlin-based corporate wellness/sports subscription platform. Comparable to CTK in the German B2B corporate-wellness space (especially around §3 Nr. 34 EStG channels) and as a digital layer over fitness studios, though focused on access rather than prevention content.
