How It All Started

During the COVID-19 pandemic, when we were stuck at home and running outside wasn’t possible, we ended up in the living room on a treadmill.

But working out at home means staring at a few numbers in front of you. That doesn’t really keep you engaged while running.

We missed the feeling of running outdoors.

The route. Orientation. Peace of mind.

We didn’t want running at home to be just watching a display.

We wanted a run where the world on the screen pulls you in even more than the one around you.

That’s how ZippyJog was born. First for us and a few friends.

When more friends started asking, we decided to open it to everyone.

Getting ZippyJog to a point where you only need a web browser instead of an expensive gaming PC wasn’t easy.

We had to figure out a lot so that a browser, a TV, and a phone are enough for you.

You pick a route.

Why ZippyJog? The Benefits Through Users' Eyes

• I run in privacy – no one’s checking me out, I don’t have to feel self-conscious.
• I get scared running outside at night – this is perfect, because I can go for a run even at midnight.
• The weather doesn’t matter – I can feel like I’m outdoors, but without the risk of slipping or getting cold.
• I pick a route based on my mood – and I don’t have to leave the house.
• I don’t have to worry about an expensive computer – any device with a browser is enough.
• Running isn’t boring anymore – the routes change, the experience is different every time.
• Any treadmill or exercise bike works – I don’t have to spend money on fancy equipment.
• I stopped running outside – after giving birth I often need to go to the toilet. Thanks to this, I can run calmly again.

And then there was one honest comment from a lazy friend: 'Very nice, but not even this will make me run!' :)

Over time, we added the option to ride a stationary bike or use a stepper, so everyone can find something they like.
