Our story

Born on the mat, the road and in the gym

Azetta did not come out of a marketing office. It was built by a sports enthusiast who was tired of juggling four apps.

An athlete first

Its creator is a software engineer by trade, but sport sets the rhythm of his weeks. A karateka for many years, he also runs: three Geneva Generali marathons and several half marathons. And on top of that, the gym, four times a week, for years.

Three apps, sometimes four

To keep track of it all, he needed one app for strength training, one for running, one to count his calories and another for his intermittent fasting. None of them talked to the others. He switched apps again and again, and never found the one that had everything he was looking for.

So he built it

For himself first: an app designed for someone who plays at least one sport outside the gym, counts calories, is into intermittent fasting and loves to run. One place where the strength programme takes the week's other training into account, where nutrition follows the sessions, and where everything moves forward together.

Then his friends got involved

He showed it to friends, then to the people he met at the gym. They loved it and pushed him to share it. Today, more than 1,000 people train with Azetta, and the number keeps growing.

What Azetta is not

A medical service. The advice given is general training advice. In case of pain, injury or illness, the right person is a health professional.

Where the name comes from

Azetta

ⴰⵣⴻⵟⵟⴰ

in Tifinagh, the Amazigh alphabet

From the Amazigh azeṭṭa: weaving.

In Kabylia, azeṭṭa means weaving on the vertical loom: thread after thread, women weave the wool of rugs and blankets on it, a craft handed down from generation to generation.

A muscle is a weave too: thousands of fibres that grow stronger session after session. And every member adds their own thread to the fabric of the community. Weaving your strength, together: that is Azetta.
