Relive Acquires JOIN To Advance Shared Vision Of A Leading Health & Fitness App Portfolio

February 4, 2025

(AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 4 February 2025 – Relive, the app to visualize outdoor experiences, announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire JOIN, an innovative and fast-growing adaptive cycling training app. This acquisition unites both companies’ shared vision of creating a world-class portfolio of health and fitness apps, inspiring people worldwide to live healthier, happier lives.

Announcing the acquisition, Lex Daniels, founder and CEO of Relive, shares: “I’m excited to announce our acquisition of JOIN. Their training plans truly help everyone become a better cyclist, with adaptive technology that ensures training integrates with daily life while optimizing performance without overtraining. A product of such high quality deserves an international audience, and that’s what we’ll build together.

Relive was founded on the belief that getting outdoors is the best way to live a healthy and happy life. We’ve built the best community for outdoor enthusiasts to share experiences with friends and family. Along the way, we’ve learned that everyone’s journey differs – some seek inspiration for their next ride, others train for marathons, and some want to capture their mountain adventures.

This acquisition kickstarts our shared ambition to build the world’s leading Health and Fitness App Portfolio. We’ll continue growing JOIN and Relive as two great products, and I’m excited to announce that our combined resources will enable us to launch a running training app later this year. This is just the beginning of our journey to buy, build, and grow a beautiful collection of apps with one common mission: helping everyone live a healthy and happy life.”

This extends beyond combining resources – it’s about accelerating two distinct products with a shared mission. Jim van den Berg, founder and CEO of JOIN, shares: “I’m thrilled about this next step with Relive as it represents the best of what technology and community can achieve together. Our shared passion for active lifestyles and innovation ensures we’re building something truly unique – a portfolio that supports and inspires people to lead healthier, more adventurous lives.

Joining Relive’s portfolio provides us with the opportunity to reach a broader audience of outdoor enthusiasts, especially cyclists. Their global reach and vibrant community will help us introduce structured cycling training to more people while maintaining our commitment to personalized coaching. Our shared resources and expertise will accelerate feature development and enhance user experiences.

At JOIN, our mission has always been to make cycling training accessible, personalized, and enjoyable for everyone, from enthusiasts to elite athletes. Relive’s vision of empowering outdoor activities perfectly complements this. Together, we’ll help more people discover the joy of structured training while fostering a love for cycling.”
