App Connects People to Make Fitness More Engaging

John Contreras, co-founder of Matchup, shares a business story through Patch Connect video.

That’s one of the things that led to him co-founding Matchup, an online platform that allows people to participate in fitness challenges with one another. Contreras realized the corporate jobs of many people have led to sedentary and inactive lifestyles. Matchup has helped him break that trend with his clients by using technology to emphasize health and fitness education and prevention.
