I'm Hayes Kanyike, founder and CEO of Gains App — the first fitness platform where competition is a service you can summon. Creators host and judge fitness challenges to earn. Athletes compete live and earn performance based payouts when they win — all paid in real time. Launched on iOS and Android on April 28, 2026 under the tagline "Bank on Fitness." Bootstrapped, no external funding.

Born in Kampala, Uganda, I came to the U.S. as a refugee at age 11. I earned my personal trainer certification in 2010 and built boutique fitness studios in New York through the 2010s.
