In the boutique fitness industry, the ability to form personal connections matters more than a resume or list of credentials. Traditional job posting platforms like LinkedIn or Indeed are not built for traveling Pilates instructors or other boutique fitness instructors, so Hannah McMullen and her team are building their own.
PlankeApp is a mobile app that connects instructors with the work they love, while helping boutique fitness studios vet qualified instructors and fill open positions without being tethered to a desktop.
