Support LAYAG: Empowering the First Filipino Health Tech
Donation protected
Hi, this is Paul - co-founder of LAYAG, the first Filipino-made fitness app built specifically for local athletes, weekend warriors, and fitness communities across the Philippines.
The Spark Behind LAYAG:
For years, I’ve been a fan of fitness apps - especially Strava, which helped me track my runs and stay motivated. But I always felt something was missing.
Strava inspired me, but I realized:
What if we had something like this - built for the Philippines, by Filipinos?
That question stayed with me for years. I dreamed about it, sketched ideas, and talked to fellow runners and cyclists. And now, I’m finally executing it....
The result? LAYAG.
What is LAYAG?
LAYAG means “to move forward” - a powerful symbol of movement, journey, and forward momentum. It’s a fitness app designed specifically for Filipinos, with features that reflect our unique needs:
- Accurate GPS tracking for running, cycling, and walking
- Offline and low-data mode (perfect for rural or mobile users)
- Community clubs, event integration, and Filipino-language support
- A familiar experience for Strava users - but fully local and inclusive
In short:
LAYAG is the “Strava for the Philippines” - built by Filipinos, for Filipinos.
Why This Matters
The Philippines has over 40 million active fitness enthusiasts, and our health-tech market is projected to reach ₱30 billion by 2027.
But so far, no local app has stepped up to lead in this space.
We’re changing that - with LAYAG!
