As one of the fastest-growing female fitness influencers in the world, Lilly Sabri has finally launched her own fitness app, alongside a growing product line featuring supplements, workout gear, and more. But what sets this app apart from others on the market? In this article, we'll delve into the story behind Lean's development, how it encourages positive mental health, and what makes it a game-changer in the world of fitness.
The Birth of Lean
Lilly Sabri has been dreaming of launching her own fitness app for years. She recalls looking at influencers like Joe Wicks and Kayla Itsines, thinking "that's what I want one day – that community." But starting out as a physiotherapist in the NHS, Lilly had no prior experience with app development or running a brand. Her determination and self-belief, however, drove her to make it happen.
A Community-Driven Approach
The Lean app wasn't developed in isolation; it was built with Lilly's massive following of "the Familia" in mind. She first pitched the idea during one of her live workouts, promising a space where everything would be in one place and focused on personal fitness plans. The response was overwhelmingly positive, and over the next year, Lilly gathered feedback from her community to shape the app's development.
Tackling Disordered Eating
In an industry often plagued by unrealistic expectations and a lack of understanding around mental health issues like disordered eating, Lilly's Lean app takes a holistic approach. The app includes sections on habit tracking and journaling specifically designed to support users' mental well-being. As Lilly notes, "From a mental health point of view we offer the whole section of the app... When we were developing it, we were very much considering the holistic approach."
What Sets Lean Apart
So, what makes the Lean app stand out from the crowd? For starters, its community-driven approach sets it apart. The app's rapid growth – with 70-80k users within 24 hours of launch and over 350k in a month – is testament to Lilly's dedication to her audience. Additionally, the app's focus on personalization, habit tracking, and journaling highlights its commitment to supporting users' mental health.
With the Lean app, Lilly Sabri has successfully brought her community together under one roof, creating a space that promotes positive mental health and supports users in their fitness journeys. As this innovative startup continues to evolve, it's clear that Lilly's passion for fitness and dedication to her audience will be key drivers of its success.
