Sqwod Pod is redefining fitness in Germany—one private Pod at a time.

WHO WE ARE

Founded by American military fitness coach and entrepreneur Tee Major, Sqwod Pod was born from a simple insight: “Germany has better healthcare, better access to nature, and stronger employee protections than the U.S.—but people here are still burning out, moving less, and feeling worse.”

What began as a personal need—a clean, quiet gym space for his family—has evolved into a mission to help Germans build strength, recover better, and avoid the chronic health crises unfolding elsewhere.

THE PROBLEM WE'RE SOLVING

  • Nearly 1 in 2 EU residents never exercise or play sports

  • Burnout is rising fast: 5.3 million sick days were attributed to it in Germany in 2022

  • Gyms are crowded or intimidating for many users, especially beginners, introverts, and parents

  • Time, space, and support for personal health are limited in daily life

Sqwod Pods fill this gap with a new kind of fitness infrastructure: private, bookable wellness spaces designed for the people who need it most.

  • Privacy First

    We believe that training should be personal, not performative.

    Sqwod Pods offer quiet, judgment-free spaces where people can move, breathe, and build strength on their own terms. No crowds. No noise. No pressure. Just space to focus.

  • Intelligent Simplicity

    We combine premium design with purpose-built technology.

    From smart booking to structured workouts and built-in accountability, everything in the Pod is engineered to make health easier, not harder. We simplify the path—so you can stay consistent.

  • Strength for Life

    We train for more than looks. We train for longevity.

    Sqwod is rooted in elite fitness, but designed for real life. Whether you’re a parent, a professional, or starting over, our mission is to help you move better, recover faster, and stay resilient—physically and mentally.
