Going Global: How StarFit is bringing wellness to the world

{{ banner_block|raw }}

Mikhail Prygunov, one of the leading trainers at FitStars, is more than a fitness expert — he’s the visionary behind StarFit, the international evolution of the successful Russian fitness platform. With the goal of bringing world-class fitness content to a global audience, Mikhail has been leading the creation of English-language workout programs and overseeing the platform’s launch into new markets.

As Mikhail recalls, the first English-language session was filmed in February 2024, marking a milestone that would grow into a full international catalog. Today, StarFit offers 24 programs led by English-speaking trainers in a variety of popular disciplines, including:

• Pilates

• Yoga

• HIIT & Cardio

• Strength Training

• Stretch & Mobility

But StarFit is more than just workouts — it's about building trust, creative freedom, and real collaboration.

Sophie Jones: “It felt genuine from day one”

“He rented professional studios, had proper equipment — everything showed he was serious. And throughout the whole process, he made sure we were respected and comfortable.”

A thoughtfully designed experience

The visual aesthetic of StarFit programs is also a key differentiator. High-intensity workouts are filmed in darker, studio-style environments that boost focus and energy. Meanwhile, yoga and pilates sessions are shot in light-filled, minimal spaces that create calm and clarity — supporting not just your form, but your focus, energy, and overall experience.

What’s next for StarFit?

In 2025, Mikhail and the StarFit team are set to roll out 20 more English-language programs, welcome five new international trainers, and grow the community through interactive challenges and social content.

New content categories, themed fitness programs, and global accessibility remain central to the mission.

With passionate coaches, an international vision, and a deep commitment to quality, StarFit is more than a fitness app — it’s a growing global movement for everyday wellness, anywhere.
