Users will get a personalised experience with high quality tech and human touch, and will be able to achieve their fitness goals from the comfort of their homes without spending on expensive hardware,” said Mukesh Bansal, Co-founder, Cure.fit.
Onyx, founded in 2018, had so far raised a pre-Series A round of funding. The app was recently featured as “App of the Day” on Apple’s App Store.
