Hello everyone! Happy Friday! I am so excited to be joining this community 🙂

👋 Name: Sydney Edelstein
📍 Location: NYC
💼 Current Role: Founder of Swolemate, a NYC based social fitness platform that helps people find workout buddies, discover fitness events, and build community through movement. I also am a Solidcore coach at the NYC Chelsea location, Certified Personal Trainer, and have a day job as a Customer Transformation Consultant at IBM!
Hobbies: Workout classes (Pilates, Strength Training, Boxing, Yoga, Spin, Dance Cardio, etc!), reading mystery books, traveling, spending time with my family (I have a 2.5 year old nephew!), going to concerts, theater, and trying new NYC restaurants
🎧 Favorite Follow/Podcast/Show about Wellness: How I built this
🤝 Topics You're Interested in Connecting About: P*artnership opportunities, expansion to other markets, SEO, growth marketing strategies, event planning and collaboration, fundraising
🙋*How I Can Help WGM:
• Connections in the fitness space via Solidcore and Swolemate
• Would love to brainstorm challenges with you all that you are facing and put on my consulting hat to help solve for them! I also am an Enterprise Design Thinking coach, so we can throw some stickies on a board to brainstorm as a group sometime 🙂
🙏How WGM Can Help You:
• Network with similar / adjacent NYC brands to see how we can partner in a mutually beneficial way
• I am hoping to expand Swolemate beyond NYC over the next 6 months, so would love to connect with people across the US to get connected in other markets!
• Learn about most effective growth marketing strategies (Social media, SEO, influencers, etc.)
