About MEM

One connected fitness ecosystem

MEM is a fitness technology platform connecting coaches, clients, fitness creators, aspiring professionals, organisations and communities. Professional discovery, coaching-business tools, client delivery, content creation, fitness search, career development and community-impact technology — all in one place.

MEM helps coaches get discovered, manage clients, deliver services, create content and grow sustainable businesses.

It helps clients find relevant fitness support, connect with coaches, follow programmes and track their progress.

It helps creators produce fitness-specific content, showcase their work and discover commercial opportunities.

It helps aspiring professionals access learning and career pathways — and helps organisations manage delivery and prove social impact.

Built for the wider fitness industry

Not one product. Not one project. A connected ecosystem.

Instead of asking coaches, creators and organisations to stitch together a dozen disconnected tools, MEM brings the essential systems and pathways of the fitness industry into one platform.

Founder

Founded by Derrick Twum

MEM was founded by Derrick Twum — a former self-employed personal trainer, fitness entrepreneur and founder of MEM Academy Tech for Good.

Derrick's years as a PT gave him first-hand experience of the challenges coaches face when trying to find clients, manage services, create content and build sustainable fitness businesses.

He later founded MEM Academy to use fitness, mentorship and career development to support young people and underserved communities. That work shaped the wider MEM technology platform.

MEM is the evolution of that journey: a connected technology ecosystem created to help coaches grow, clients access support, creators produce content, aspiring professionals develop careers, and organisations manage and prove their impact.

Technology shaped by real-world delivery

MEM's technology has not been developed in isolation. The platform has been shaped by experience across personal training, fitness-business development, youth programmes, mentoring, employment pathways and community delivery.

That means the platform considers both the commercial needs of fitness professionals and the delivery needs of organisations working in communities.

MEM Academy CIC

Our community-impact arm

MEM Academy CIC delivers fitness, mentorship, leadership and career-development programmes with young people and underserved communities. Its community work is an important part of MEM's history, purpose and technology-for-good identity — but MEM Academy CIC is not the entire MEM platform. The wider MEM platform serves coaches, clients, creators, aspiring professionals, businesses, organisations and communities.

Our vision

A more connected, accessible and socially responsible fitness industry.

MEM is built around the belief that fitness technology should support commercial growth and positive social impact.

  • Coaches can build sustainable businesses
  • Clients can find the right support
  • Creators can showcase their work and earn
  • Aspiring professionals can access meaningful careers
  • Organisations can manage delivery and prove impact
  • Communities can benefit from better access to fitness and opportunity

One platform for the wider fitness ecosystem.

Find support. Get discovered. Create content. Deliver services. Track progress. Prove impact.
