Hey Team!

Hoping to tap into your insight, advice, or potential introductions for a sponsorship opportunity I’m working on! Aside from my work with Centr, I support a NYC-based gym network called The Athletic Clubs on partnerships and sponsorships. If you attended the in-person WGM event at Gainful a few months back, you might recall Michelle, their Head of Marketing, speaking about the space and the incredible growth they’re seeing.

Each year, they host a flagship Charity Gala with their members, and this year’s event is at Cipriani Downtown at the end of January. We recently lost a key sponsor due to Q1 budget shifts, so I’m on the hunt for a new partner. It’s a fantastic opportunity for the right brand, and I’d love any leads or recommendations you might have.

Here’s the pitch:
• Audience: Fitness- and wellness-focused NYC professionals, $180k+ median household income, +1,000 members with 75% projected growth in 2025 (3-4 new gym openings).
• Community: A highly loyal, local membership base with 99% MoM retention.
• Opportunity: A B2B2C partnership for brands aiming to drive subscriptions, acquisition, or broader awareness within this demo.
• Potential Vertical Ideas: FinServ, Consumer tech (wearables), CPG, Hospitality, Alcohol and Bev (if already associated with Cipriani)
Attaching the brand deck for more context too! Happy to jam any ideas ya'll have!

Thank you so much in advance!
