Our Mission and Values
At GoSaga, we are renegades who break out of traditional models to bring transformative brands to their ideal consumer.
We The People
GoSaga places the customer at the center of every business decision, action and process. We deliver exceptional experiences to our customers because that’s what we demand as customers within this wellness space. We strive to exceed expectations and deliver outcomes at every opportunity, for consumers, stakeholders and employees alike.
We Are Builders
GoSaga moves with an entrepreneurial mindset: a blend of vision, resilience, adaptability, bias towards action, and solution-oriented collaboration. It’s a “whatever it takes” approach with an “anything is possible” attitude. We continually consider the scalability opportunity and allow that to drive our priorities.
We Are Disruptors
We’re committed to building what doesn’t already exist. We build in dynamic, forward-looking ways that break out of barriers and push past existing boundaries. We welcome change. Challenge the status quo. And take calculated risks for potential breakthroughs.
We Are GoSaga
To achieve our high growth goals, we need to leverage synergistic shared intelligence and systems efficiencies. Collaboration and cooperation yields greater results than siloed work. This shows up in our over-communication, empowerment of one another, interdisciplinary collaboration, cross-brand collaboration, and default toward teamwork. Our biggest competitive advantage is the intangible value that comes with our exceptional team’s experience, and our ability to get the best out of each other.
At GoSaga, we are the best platform of consumer brands across fitness, wellness, beauty and experiential entertainment.
Our mission and thesis around a shared consumer mindset towards lifestyle experiences unlocks our cross-industry platform potential, and ultimately enables exponential value.
Our Portfolio of Studio Brands includes:
LYMBR
Started by the founders of GoSaga, the LYMBR wellness, and mobility brand is wholly owned by GoSaga. LYMBR is a wellness company that specializes in personalized stretching to enhance your overall quality of life. Our founders, dedicated to a healthy, active lifestyle, realized the importance of staying limber and healthy as they balanced their careers and families. LYMBR was created to fill the need for effective recovery in the fitness industry.
Our unique LYMBR Method, incorporating Progressive Emphasis Stretching (PES), focuses on continuous movement to target individual muscles and myofascial pathways, increasing flexibility and blood flow for immediate results. These guided stretches, performed in repetitions, reduce tension and discomfort, promoting relaxation, better performance, and faster recovery.
LYMBR is a prime example of GoSaga’s unique ability to pivot and take advantage of a non-traditional market opportunity. GoSaga worked directly with Google to launch LYMBR as the second service company ever to license wellness services to Google offices worldwide - transforming it into a highly profitable global B2B license business with high growth and low overhead.
With corporate-owned studios in NYC, Connecticut, Massachusetts and the Hamptons, LYMBR meets our client’s needs for premier muscle recovery services and is poised for national growth.
