Recovr raises $1M to take member retention to the US
Former F45 CTO Josh Oliver joins the founding team as Recovr prepares its US launch. The round was led by JWW Capital.
Adelaide, Australia, December 2025
Recovr, the member engagement platform helping gyms and studios keep their members, today announced it has raised about $1 million in seed funding, led by JWW Capital and investor Jordan Walsh. The raise follows strong growth in Australia and the company’s recently announced collaboration with STRONG Pilates.
The funding will support Recovr’s entry into the United States in 2026, bringing its technology to boutique studios, big-box gyms and franchise networks.
Recovr is led by Nick Hunter and Josh Oliver, two operators with real-world industry experience. Hunter owns REVL Unley, and his wife is a multi-site KX Pilates franchisee, giving the team firsthand insight into the challenges studios and franchise groups face. Oliver, the former CTO of F45 Training, brings experience deploying technology across thousands of studios worldwide.
“We’re not outsiders guessing what studios need. We’ve lived these problems inside Pilates, strength studios and large franchise environments. Recovr is the product we wished we had when operating at scale.”Josh Oliver, Co-founder
Member consistency is one of the biggest challenges operators share. Booking platforms flag members once they have already dropped off, leaving teams reactive. Recovr detects early shifts in engagement, shows which members need support and helps teams reach them with personal messages.
“People don’t disappear overnight. Their behaviour changes slowly, and we pick up those signals early. This round gives us the resources to take that into much larger markets.”Nick Hunter, Co-founder and CEO
Recovr works with STRONG Pilates, BFT studios, REVL Training, F45 and independent gyms across Australia. Many of the brands it supports also operate in the US.
“Recovr sits at the intersection of two fast-growing global markets, fitness and AI. The team has built something the industry genuinely needs, and we’re excited to support them as they prepare for the US.”Jordan Walsh, Founder, JWW Capital
Recovr also acknowledged early support from Hyper, the Australian accelerator it took part in during its early stages.
