Hi!!! Just in case you are so inclined, my We Hate Exercise Kiva loan campaign is live! Use the link below to make a $25 micro loan. It only takes 90 seconds. Then forward this to 3 people you think might be willing to lend to me, too!
We need two more lenders to move us from the private to the public platform. Would love your help, as I am hoping to have the fastest fully funded loan ever. We need to get to the public platform ASAP to make that happen.
Thank youuuuuu from the bottom of my ♥️.

Great question! It’s a progressive web app at present to enable rapid iteration. So it’s device agnostic.

Hiya! How’re your 2025 exercise goals going so far? Meh? You’re not alone! I am launching my fourth beta testing group through the We Hate Exercise app on Monday. I still have two spots left. If you like being part of something new and are interested, please shoot me an email and I’ll send you more info!

Hi everyone! I'm looking forward to learning and growing in this community. My name is Dr. Sam Monson.
Background: I'm a clinical psychologist located in Golden, CO with my own complicated relationship with exercise.
What I'm working on: I started We Hate Exercise to bring people together to finally get and stay physically active. While only 30-50% of people out there are still exercising 12 weeks after they start, we bump this to 94% for our users!
How I can help: I am a qualitative researcher so am happy to talk about customer discovery and making sense of narrative data.
Why I was interested in joining Gildre: I thrive in community. As I continue on my startup journey, I want to have mutually supportive people who will call out my blind spots and fill in expertise I lack.
Where I could use support: I am seeking advisors and mentors to help me know "what comes next" in each stage of my journey. I am hoping to avoid common first time founder pitfalls and am excellent at executing once I know I'm headed in the right direction.
