85 Broads members Katie Coulson Currie (B.A., Gettysburg ’05), Leanne Shear (M.A., NYU ’11; B.A., Penn ’00) and Helena Wolin (J.D., NYU ’05; B.A., Penn ’01) are pioneering a women-only fitness movement in NYC that combines fabulous workouts with a social and lifestyle element tailor-made for women. These fabulous young co-founders are ‘going rogue’ by forging a new path in the fitness world: one that steers clear of over-restrictive diets and excessive exercise and instead embraces the balance between the intense side of fitness and the fun side of life!
What Rogue Female Fitness offers:
- One-on-one and small group personal training with top female trainers who understand a woman’s body and emphasize exercises that cater to their client’s specific fitness goals
- Unique classes that combine exercise with social events and guest speakers geared specifically toward women, such as wine tastings, relationship experts, nutritionists and trunk shows
- Fitness retreats outside of New York City, philanthropy fun runs, and lots of exciting ways to feel fit and healthy
- Corporate women’s initiatives for companies to promote and foster relationships among their female employees
RFF is currently seeking investment capital:
- In just 6 weeks, RFF has raised 70% of their capital needs and is seeking additional investments in $25,000 increments for lease expenses, studio remodeling, equipment, etc.
- They are already scouting new locations for additional studios and are actively hiring more trainers to keep up with client demand
- Their unique emphasis on incorporating a social aspect into many of their programs is rapidly changing the way women view exercise and fitness
Why 85 Broads is delighted to invest in RFF: we want to be at the forefront of a growing movement that is radically changing women's lives for the better!

About 85 Broads
http://www.85broads.com
85 Broads is an exclusive global women’s network whose mission is to generate exceptional professional and social value for its members. Through regional events and our online, password-protected community, members engage in a rapid, high-powered exchange of ideas and information which is what makes 85 Broads unique.
From 1997 to 2000, 85 Broads was a network founded exclusively for current and former Goldman Sachs women who worked at 85 Broad Street, the firm's NYC headquarters, and at other GS offices worldwide. In 2000, we realized that we were "too exclusive" and at the urging of women at Harvard Business School, we invited HBS women to join, along with thousands of women at other leading graduate business schools in the US and abroad, irrespective of chosen career path.
In 2004, we recognized the need to include women at the undergraduate level who were pursuing every career path imaginable and over the next 3 years, we created clubs on over 40 campuses in the US and abroad.
And in 2007, we extended membership in 85 Broads to all trailblazing women worldwide, irrespective of one's college or graduate school affiliation.
The women in 85 Broads are entrepreneurs, investment bankers, consultants, lawyers, educators, venture capitalists, hedge fund managers, philanthropists, athletes, doctors, engineers, artists, and rocket scientists. Learn more about our exclusive network and apply for membership.
