Company
Quell
Get fit fighting your way through a fantasy world.
We make Quell, a fitness game combined with wearable hardware. Our low-cost smart resistance bands guide players through combat workouts at home, turning exercise into an engaging fantasy game. The bands provide resistance and track movements, creating an effective workout that feels like playing a game rather than exercising.
We live in London, England, United Kingdom, and the company would remain based here after YC.
We're based in London because that's where the team lives and where our manufacturing and development partners are. Staying local helps us iterate fast and manage production efficiently.
