SweatPals is the community-first fitness platform that turns workouts into social adventures. Backed by a16z speedrun, Patron, Kevin Hart, and other world-class investors such as founders of Instacart and Dreamworks Animations, we connect hundreds of thousands of “Pals,” hosts, and gyms through events, memberships, and rich social features. We’re still scrappy at heart, but we’re scaling fast—and personalized, intelligent experiences are central to our next chapter.
