What is Equity Circle?

Equity Circle is a subscription community built for ambitious young men who know they're capable of more - but don't have the structure, the people or the tools to get there. One membership gives you access to expert-led video courses, a community of like-minded members, habit and goal tracking tools, and exclusive live events. Think less wellness app, more operating system for becoming who you're already capable of being.

Will it help me start or grow my business?

Through the platform you'll get access to structured video courses from people who have actually built something. Not generic advice, real knowledge from verified voices. You'll find other members who are on the same path, which means accountability, shared experience and honest feedback from people who get it. And unlike a £1,000 course you never finish, your membership keeps adding new content so there's always a next step.

How will it help me with my fitness?

Fitness on Equity Circle isn't just programming, it's identity. You'll find courses built around real performance goals, whether that's your first HYROX, a half marathon or just building a consistent training habit. The community keeps you accountable in a way a training app never can. And the exclusive live events - run clubs, training days, group sessions - turn your goals into something you do with people, not alone.

Who is equity circle for?

It's built for men aged 18–30 who are gym-goers, aspiring entrepreneurs, or both. The kind of person who listens to business podcasts on the way to the gym, wants to start something of their own, and is frustrated that the tools available to him are either too expensive, too generic or just not built for someone like him. If that sounds like you - it's for you.

How much does it cost?

Equity Circle runs on a simple subscription model. We're launching with a limited Founder Member offer at £29.99 per month, available to the first 200 members only. After that, standard membership is £49 per month or £449 per year if you want to pay annually and save. Whichever you choose, you get full access to everything - the courses, the community, the tools and the exclusive events. No hidden fees, no upsells, no courses that cost extra on top.
