Brand & Motion Designer

About SweatPals

SweatPals 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, SweatPals 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 SweatPals 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 MetaLab-led rebrand to life — making SweatPals feel vibrant, social, and trend-setting across every touchpoint.
