A BoardGains Fitness Journey: From Trainer to Inventor

Hello! I'm Eric Mathura, creator of BoardGains. My journey began with Kinesiology studies in Canada, leading to a career as a personal trainer and bootcamp instructor. The real spark, though, came from 'Survivor Gameshow' – why couldn't fitness be as exciting as those challenges?

I began gamifying my bootcamps, starting with fitness cards and then developing BoardGains on a whiteboard. The goal was simple: make workouts fun and enjoyable.

Post studies in sport events marketing, I hosted the successful Board Games Bootcamp. Seeing its potential, I evolved BoardGains from a whiteboard to a poster, and eventually to a board game prototype. During the 2019-2020 pandemic, I focused on strategy and fundraising, culminating in a successful Kickstarter for our first print run. BoardGains was launched in July 2021, revolutionizing the fitness game.

Today, BoardGains is more than a game – it's a global movement. Perfect for gyms, schools, homes, and outdoor settings, it offers a unique blend of fun and fitness. Ready for a game-based fitness workout? Let's get those gains! 🎲πŸ’ͺ
