I'm Umama , Founder of SweatPack , community leader on @smallandstrong.fit , and friend to all. Thank YOU for being my friend and being part of my journey!
For the past four years, I’ve worked out at over 400 gyms and connected with over 100k people on social media . I’ve learned that it’s awkward making friends adults.
More importantly, Americans are still unhealthy and dying younger because they lack social interaction.
I’ve worked to solve this issue by hosting 75+ FREE events in the US to connect over 3000+ people through fitness. I learned people needed more consistency to see results in their relationships and bodies.
That’s why I developed SweatPack!
SweatPack is an app that connects people to group workouts and sports leagues! It’s a fun new way to meet people that help us stay active and accountable!
It’s easy for people to join. They can start a team or join a team! They select a fitness or sports activity then create a schedule to invite their friends or new people to workout with them weekly!
Our enhanced chat features allow our teams to earn rewards from local restaurants and businesses! So now they can grab food together post-workout to continue building real friendships!
Our two-sided marketplace makes it easy for gyms, trainers and sports leagues to easily list their open slots! We know the fitness + recreational sports industry professionals help us become stronger + friendlier people. SweatPack help us stay dedicated and connected to them!
