Aviron

Aviron is a Toronto-based connected fitness brand founded in 2016 by Andy Hoang and backed by Y Combinator, Stripes, and Samsung Next, built on a single mission: end boring workouts by making exercise feel more like play. Starting with the world's first gamified rowing machine in 2018, Aviron has expanded into bikes and treadmills, combining high-quality hardware with an immersive entertainment platform featuring games, live competitions, guided workouts, and scenic experiences — all designed using habit-forming game psychology to keep users coming back. Now shipping to consumers across North America, the UK, Europe, and Asia, with teams in Toronto, Atlanta, Taiwan, and Vietnam, Aviron is leading the charge on a new era of fitness entertainment.
