Social Media and Marketing Intern

About Core 

Core is an early-stage startup building a software platform to help independent fitness instructors thrive online.  We are building Shopify for fitness.

We’re backed by AlleyCorp, a startup incubator that also founded Business Insider, Gilt, Zola, and MongoDB among others.

The fitness industry is going through fundamental changes, moving from in-person first to hybrid/virtual-first and from studio-first to instructor-first. This shift began years ago (Peloton was founded in 2012), but the events of the past year have greatly accelerated the trend. At Core we’re building a platform to help instructors, coaches, and trainers thrive in this new market. In empowering instructors to connect with their students online, Core aims to power sustainable digital businesses and be your favorite instructor’s digital home. Our platform is the backend of their business, making it easier to workout with your instructor or coach anywhere, anytime.

We recently launched publicly (check out our app here) and are turning the focus towards Growth initiatives. This is a joint effort that spans Marketing, Sales, and Product Strategy as we develop our product, market to customers, listen to instructors, and build towards our Series A.

Our offices are in SoHo, New York and while most work can be remote, we think collaboration on coordinated days in the office will be helpful 1-2 days per week.
