Over the past year, at-home workouts have soared–but there is one platform that stands apart from all the rest. Meet P.volve, the accessible, at-home fitness method that everyone is talking about.
In short, the method combines resistance-based, high-intensity, low-impact movements to strengthen, sculpt and energize the whole body (much like pilates).
Beyond the studio, the brand offers a global on-demand platform featuring hundreds of workouts, a growing line of patented equipment, and physical studios in NYC, Chicago, and LA. The wellness-forward startup has garnered attention for flipping traditional fitness on its head and captured an impressive and loyal community (that includes some major names) in the process.
On this episode of WorkParty, Jaclyn sits down with P.volve Co-founder, Rachel Katzman, for an inside look behind the revolutionary fitness brand––including driving the creative vision of the company forward, growing the digital platform, and looking to establish P.volve’s footing in the fitness space–and doing it all successfully in sweatpants. (...a true legend!). Join the party on social @workparty and stay in the know at workparty.com.
