Writer - Core : Job Details

Writing for CoreHi there! We're Core - a small, ambitious team empowering fitness professionals to launch and scale their digital business. As we work toward a public launch early in 2021, we're looking for a talented writer to help us create exceptional content for our site's resource library. Our mission is to enable fitness instructors to launch, scale, and grow their business. To do this, we provide a one-stop-shop for content and client management that powers the instructor's own branded experience across iOS, Android, and web. They set the prices. They own the content. They own the customers. It's their business powered by Core.We really care about moving the fitness industry from something that is overly aspirational to something much more foundational. As JFK said, everyone should be given the opportunity to make and keep himself physically fit. Fit to learn. Fit to understand. Fit to grow in grace and stature. Fit to fully live. And we believe that by helping instructors build sustainable businesses, we can help people move a bit more and thus find more vigor in life. We are venture backed and incubated by Kevin Ryan and the incredible team at AlleyCorp - originators of companies like MongoDB, BusinessInsider, Zola, GIlt Grope, and many more.Background The problem: Now, more than ever, personal trainers and group fitness instructors are building independent, digital-first businesses.Instead of being fully reliant on gyms, boutique studios, and in-person sessions, these fitness entrepreneurs are using platforms like Instagram, Zoom, YouTube, Venmo, and WhatsApp to create, distribute, and monetize content. Far from optimized, these solutions are hacked together - costing fitness professionals time and money. Our solution: Core is building the all-in-one infrastructure for fitness professionals looking to launch and scale their digital-first business. From creating a custom web, iOS, and Android experience to publishing on-demand programs, hosting live events, selling merchandise, managing clients, and more, Core helps fitness entrepreneurs grow their business and community, seamlessly.Writing for Core Like our technology platform, we aspire to create best-in-class content. To achieve this goal, we're building the definitive resource center and knowledge hub for fitness professionals, helping them thrive in a fast-changing environment.Instead of looking to the fitness industry for inspiration, where low quality or buzzword-filled content is the norm, we're modeling our resource center after the in-depth guides created by Stripe, Shopify, and ConvertKit.
