Welcoming WeTrain to Dorm Room Fund
At Dorm Room Fund, our mission is to help the best student entrepreneurs launch successful businesses. That is why we are “pumped” to welcome WeTrain to the DRF portfolio. WeTrain, an on-demand personal training app, is removing the excuses from working out.
For too long, cost has been a barrier to effective personal training. With the click of a button, WeTrain users can now be working out with a certified personal trainer for less than $30 per session! Users can also partner with friends to split the cost. WeTrain is democratizing personal training by offering high-quality training at a fraction of what it costs at the gym. No other platform we’ve seen comes close to matching this.
WeTrain has two other major advantages. Training sessions can be performed anywhere, and the training sessions can be organized on a moment’s notice, with a trainer at your door in just 15 minutes. At Dorm Room Fund, we’ve worked out with WeTrain in many locations, including the office, living rooms, apartment gyms, UPenn’s campus, and outdoor parks.
Looking at this collectively, WeTrain has removed the biggest obstacles in the training industry. No longer can anyone say training is “too expensive, too time-consuming, or takes too much equipment/space.” A WeTrain trainer is always on call to motivate them to get moving.
In addition to a great product, WeTrain has outstanding leadership. Co-Founders Jon Sockol and Zach Hertzel both, fittingly, display huge amounts of energy and are exceptionally action-oriented. Jon, an MBA at Wharton, is currently President of Wharton’s Entrepreneurship, Private Equity & Venture Capital, and Fitness clubs, and Zach, a veteran, is a certified Master Trainer. Together they have the vision, understanding, and drive to make WeTrain a market leader.
However, don’t take our word for it. Try WeTrain today: the first session is free! Just use the promo code “DORMROOM”.
