COMPANY CULTURE
We work with Tour de France podium finishers and their coaches, and the same spirit of competition that drives these athletes and fitness professionals to achieve their best is what motivates Peaksware employees to work hard and create great products.

FLEXIBLE HOURS

Many companies say they are dedicated to employee health and wellness, but at Peaksware, making tools to promote fitness is what we do. Everyone exercises, eats well, and often competes in Ironman, marathon, century, and other events. All employees are given a membership to the YMCA next door. Free training plans, nutrition plans, coaching advice, training devices, discounted bikes and biking gear, etc.

COMMUNITY SERVICE
