About Sweat Pals Sweat Pals is the community‑first fitness platform turning workouts into social adventures. Backed by a16z, Kevin Hart, and other world‑class investors, we connect hundreds of thousands of “Pals,” hosts, and gyms through events, memberships, and social features. We believe fitness should be joyful, social, and inclusive — not just a solo grind. From run clubs and beach pilates to pickleball leagues and cold plunge socials, Sweat Pals turns everyday workouts into meaningful social experiences.

We also empower local leaders to grow their communities from side hustles to full‑time, even million‑dollar businesses. Hosts use Sweat Pals to run their business, from ticketing and memberships to marketing and POS tools. As we scale, design is at the heart of how we stand out. We’re looking for a Brand & Motion Designer to bring our Meta Lab‑led rebrand to life — making Sweat Pals feel vibrant, social, and trend‑setting across every touchpoint.

• QA and ensure brand consistency across engineering, marketing, and partnerships
• Elevate decks, investor materials, and internal docs with brand polish
• Design swag, merch, and event branding to strengthen our culture
