Hamburg — Sport Alli­ance, a leading soft­ware company in the fitness indus­try based in Hamburg, Germany, announ­ces a further invest­ment of USD 100 million from leading equity growth firm PSG Equity (“PSG”). PSG alre­ady supported the Hamburg-based soft­ware company with USD 65 million in 2021. No further finan­cial details were disclosed.

Sport Alli­ance has set itself the goal of taking the sports and fitness indus­try to a new level with cloud-based and digi­tal soft­ware solu­ti­ons. The company counts more than 8,000 sports and health faci­li­ties among its custo­mers and offers inno­va­tive all-in-one soft­ware and services for fitness chains, fran­chise systems and indi­vi­dual studios.

With its product port­fo­lio, which is curr­ently available throug­hout Europe, Sport Alli­ance enables the effi­ci­ent manage­ment of gyms Sport Alli­ance and easy, digi­tal access to sport and exer­cise for members in sports faci­li­ties. Over 5.2 million gym members use the app solu­ti­ons provi­ded by Sport Alli­ance to gain easy and digi­tal access to sports facilities.

Sport Alliance’s core product is the “Magicline” manage­ment soft­ware. It is not only the market leader among ERP soft­ware systems in the fitness indus­try in German-spea­king count­ries — with its inte­gra­ted core brands for finan­cial services and member apps, Magicline has become the stan­dard for many sports provi­ders over the years. Its most renow­ned custo­mers include the RSG Group (McFit, John Reed, Gold’s Gym), clever fit and Bodystreet.

“I am extre­mely proud of the great perfor­mance of the Sport Alli­ance team and very plea­sed about the trust that PSG has placed in us. It proves once again that our products and services offer precis­ely the solu­ti­ons that the market needs and that we are making an important contri­bu­tion to the digi­ta­liza­tion of the fitness indus­try,” says Daniel Hanelt, CEO of Sport Alli­ance. “PSG’s invest­ment once again encou­ra­ges us to conti­nue our success story inter­na­tio­nally beyond the German-spea­king region. I am looking forward to the exci­ting future that lies ahead of us.”

“Since we ente­red into the part­ner­ship with Sport Alli­ance just over two years ago, we have expe­ri­en­ced an incre­di­ble curve of success. The company has since further expan­ded its offe­ring and driven forward the digi­ta­liza­tion of sports venues in Europe,” says Edward Hughes, Mana­ging Direc­tor at PSG. “We are deligh­ted to deepen our commit­ment to Sport Alli­ance and look forward to seeing what the strong team will achieve next.”
