We had the good fortune of connecting with Kelsey Rose and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kelsey, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I’ve always been super independent, ambitious, and liked the idea of being my own boss. Once I figured out what I was passionate about and what I wanted to do, I started taking steps towards making it happen. I didn’t know what I was doing to start out, but my passion for fitness and making a difference for other people drove me to figure it out and become an expert of my craft

What should our readers know about your business?
I have a fitness app called Sweat with Kelsey that I developed throughout the pandemic. All of my work in fitness was in-person prior to the pandemic but during that time I was forced to pivot and go outside of my comfort zone and SWK was born! For me, it was the silver lining of the pandemic. I definitely had to overcome a fear of failure since the online space was new to me but I was determined to succeed and know that people love my work and I change the lives of so many so it pushed me to keep going. I want the world to know that I am dedicated to improving and changing the lives of so many and that moving your body can help you become the strongest version of you both mentally and physically!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Casa Tua – delicious italian Surf Club Restaurant – delicious food in a beautiful space and also one of my favorite areas/hotels (FS)
Hangout – wynwood – filled with so many low key but incredible restaurants, coffee shops and art
Definitely would go for some walks/runs on the boardwalk in South Beach
Pool day – The W or 1 Hotel
Healthy brunch date at Pura Vida

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Honestly, the biggest shoutout goes to my closest friends for pushing me to start my business, create a social media page and encouraged me to do exactly what I am doing now! I wouldn’t have even started in the first place without them!
