I love meeting our users and partners and talking to them about how ClassPass has made an impact.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
When I dance, I go to a different side of who I am. I feel like I can solve a problem without knowing I'm solving one.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
The variety and flexibility of ClassPass is limitless, ensuring that you'll never get bored, and neither will your muscles.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
Every moment you wake up and you want to go for a run, or you want to take a class, you should be able to just go.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
There are so many times when I think I don't have time to dance, but I force it into my life because I know it's so important.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
The only way to do everything in your life is to find awesome people to lean on so you can focus your time.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
I work out once a day. When I'm in a massive dance show mode, I'll probably be active for about 20 hours each week.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
I am anal about my Gmail calendar. It's my life. I put everything in there - my to-do list, or even if I want to do things.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
You make sure to set True Norths for your company. You can't be involved in every decision and every meeting; you have to make sure the mission is very built into the culture, the product, and how you communicate.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
To me, I will be a stronger person if I'm moving forward, doing the work I want, and continue to drive: force the purpose that I want to create versus doing what other people think I should be doing, which is never a way to live.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
The impact we have on people's lives, to me, is more important than any title anyone can carry.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
It's about knowing yourself and what you're good at. Females, males - anyone can be anything they want to be.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
The best thing I could do is build a successful company and continue to innovate and be in the right role I want to be in. If I'm not doing that, I'm inauthentic. That's not a good role model to anyone. That, to me, is the most important thing.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
I never feel bad. You can't feel bad - you have to just make the best decision you can at the time you're in and be like, 'That's the decision I believe in.'
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
I thought, 'I have ideas. I'm creative.' I just didn't see why I should be pigeon-holing myself in the business world or staying in corporate America when I already knew that I was capable of taking risks.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
I remember, at MIT, we had to write an essay about something mathematical that you do in your extra time. I basically wrote about how dance, to me, was geometry: it was all shapes.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
You can always change your branding or hire lawyers, but it's critical that you figure out if you have product market fit, and if you don't, figure out how to course-correct without getting stuck.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
You need to keep having data points of progress, so even if an investor - and we've all had investors say no to us - there are times where you go back, and you keep them in the loop, and you keep telling them the progress and the perseverance you have.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
ClassPass, to me, is people are choosing a lifestyle to live; it's saying, 'Yes, I want to work out and live my healthiest happiest.'
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
Dance has always been the center of who I am. It has given me the inspiration to help other people find a hobby, passion, and activity that fulfills them. It also taught me some of the many skills I need as an entrepreneur: a hard work ethic that takes practice to master and the confidence to persevere through any challenges.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
In running my own company, I was too busy for a while, and I thought, 'Maybe I'll stop dancing for a bit.' It was the worst decision ever. I just lost my creativity and my drive.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
I love barre because even when I'm not dancing, I feel like I'm training those same muscles.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
It's really about if you do the work. Work hard; your results will speak for themselves.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
I think it's so important to have a great support network when you feel like you can't - I would actually go and talk to the people who tell you that you can.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
I remember going out to raise my Series A and ending up with multiple term sheets when I had gone to Silicon Valley probably four times at that point and coming back with nothing.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
It's OK when something doesn't work. It gives you another data point when things do work.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
As we've got more data, and ClassPass has grown, we've had to change rather than have a one-size fits all approach.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
Sometimes people go to a yoga class and think it's not for them, but it might just not be the right studio or teacher - try a new one!
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
I travel pretty frequently, but a few things that are routine are going for a run, getting my green tea in the morning, and checking email... well, all the time!
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
I'm not going out there screaming, 'I'm CEO! I'm CEO!' That's not the way to do it.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
I think, when I see entrepreneurs, they tend to talk about the market and the industry - which is obviously very important, but the most important thing is you're product. What are you selling? And does it really have product-market fit?
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
If I exercise once or twice a day on vacation and don't want to wash my hair too often. I pack a lot of dry shampoo, like Amika's.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
Millennials are a bit more free-spirited, more able to go into new places, to feel more assertive and fearless about trying new things.
Quote by -Payal Kadakia
I plan my time to a 'T.' I plan when I am going to sleep; I plan when I am going to relax. I obviously leave time to have spontaneous life experiences - I think that's really important. But so much of it is setting up you mental energy in the right way to get the most out of your day and time.
