The scientifically proven Köhler effect shows that a workout buddy will boost your exercise motivation with over 100%*. Björn Borg takes up on that by combining fashion, sports and technology. The app enables people to boost workouts by meeting up with like-minded partners. It has taken inspiration from the dating app Tinder, but with fine-tuning the app’s core functionalities adapted for an active lifestyle.

We decided to launch our AW15 sports apparel collection through the new app Sprinter to share our vision of feeling active and attractive. We believe that together as a team, you perform better” – said Jonas Lindberg Nyvang, Marketing Director, Björn Borg

It also tracks the user’s current location, which creates a quick tool for finding a workout buddy for the lunch break session. Travelling users can search to find a new workout buddy anywhere in the world.
