The Plant-Based Protein Brand Taps Peloton’s Ultimate Hype-Woman to Encourage Wellness Enthusiasts to #ShakeItUp by Trying Something New – Including Evolve’s New and Improved Protein Shakes

CHICAGO /PRNewswire/ — As summer nears and wellness goals kick into overdrive, Evolve Plant-Based Protein and Robin Arzón are here to help people shake up their everyday wellness routines. The “Queen of Swagger” will bring her infectious, inspiring energy to all so that they can find new ways to feel their best, inside, or out.

Wellness fans will have a new type of access to Arzón through an “AI” (Activity Inspiration) Hypeline – a modern take on the traditional hotline – and social-led #ShakeItUp Challenge where she brings her renowned motivational spirit to encourage even more fans to step out of their comfort zones. Participants will also have opportunities to be the first to try Evolve’s new and improved protein shakes, reformulated to taste better than ever. 

“I’m a believer that little changes can make a big impact, especially when you’re trying to reach a goal or start something new. Whatever your area of focus, everyone can benefit from shaking up their routine – and a little outside motivation always helps,” said Robin Arzón, Vice President of Fitness Programming and Head Instructor at Peloton. “That’s my sweet spot – and I’m pumped that Evolve is giving me my own hypeline to help inspire people to find the magic that comes when they step outside of their comfort zone.”

  • “AI” (Activity Inspiration) Hypeline: Beginning May 11, fans can direct message “AI” to @DrinkEvolve from their mobile device to access the Arzón-led hotline and unlock an offer to try Evolve’s new and improved plant protein shakes. After answering a series of personalized questions, fans will get motivational video content from the global fitness icon, along with activity suggestions to help them reach their wellness goals and 25% off Evolve’s new and improved protein shakes.
  • #ShakeItUp Challenge: To bring hypeline goals to life, fans will be encouraged to level-up their wellness routines with a challenge to try something new. In content debuting on @DrinkEvolve, multidisciplinary designer and graphic artist, Jennet Liaw, helps Arzón step out of her own comfort zone as she tries her hand at a new kind of exercise – the art of slowing down and working her creative muscle through painting. Robin will pass the #ShakeItUp Challenge along to other content creators in the wellness space to keep the challenge growing, encouraging followers to join in along the way!

Fans can follow along on @DrinkEvolve for chances to secure an Activity Inspiration Box, full of prizes meant to inspire new wellness routines and habits, including plant-based protein shakes, a National Park pass, pickleball set and more*.

“For Evolve, wellness is about doing what makes you feel good, and Robin embodies that. We were so inspired by her energy and her background – from the way she transformed her life to do what brings her joy to how she’s been plant-based for 10 years, and we knew she was the perfect fit for our largest collaboration to-date,” said Marissa Pines, Sr. Marketing Director, Gatorade Protein. “Given her natural ability to motivate others while constantly evolving herself, Robin is helping us celebrate the next chapter of Evolve as we roll out even tastier protein shakes.” 

Evolve’s new and improved plant-based protein shakes feature 20 grams of plant-based protein and 10 grams of fiber in four flavors: Double Chocolate, Creamy Vanilla, Café Mocha and Chocolate Caramel with Omega 3’s. The Evolve portfolio of products are formulated with pea protein and include ready-to-drink protein shakes, bars, and powders.

Latest People of Pickleball Podcast Episode: Daniel Gold’s Journey from Wimbledon Courts to Pickleball Stardom

The latest “People of Pickleball” podcast features Daniel Gold, a former pro tennis player turned pickleball star. He shares his transition, entrepreneurial ventures, and personal stories.

Published

on


The world of pickleball never ceases to amaze, offering up transformative stories that span cultures, continents, and competitive spirits. “People of Pickleball,” the popular podcast hosted by Michael “Sleeves” Sliwa, gives listeners an insider’s peek into the lives and adventures of pickleball personalities. In the latest episode, Sleeves sits down with Daniel Gold, a player who shines bright in the National Pickleball League with the Austin Ignite.

From Wimbledon to Pickleball Glory

Daniel Gold might currently be lighting up the pickleball courts, but his journey began on the lush, iconic grass of Wimbledon. A former pro tennis player from the ’80s, Daniel didn’t just play any tennis; he had a stint as what he modestly refers to as “bad pro tennis.” However, his post-tennis career is anything but ordinary, having spent 35 years building entrepreneurial businesses across Europe and the USA.

A Life Lived Full and Fast

Daniel’s conversation with Sleeves explores more than just pickleball tactics. It delves into a life filled with ventures and adventures, highlighting his prolonged entrepreneurial career. This episode doesn’t just skim the surface but dives deep into what it means to transition completely from one competitive arena to another later in life, and what drives someone to keep pursuing new peaks.

Family, Fun Facts, and Elton John?

Aside from business and sports, Daniel Gold gives listeners a glimpse into his personal life. Married to his teenage sweetheart, Stephanie, and a father to three daughters, Daniel’s life off the court is as full and fascinating as his athletic endeavors. And if you’re in for a bit of a quirky twist, get a load of this—Elton John once dedicated the song “Daniel” to him in front of a crowd of 100,000 at the British National Stadium, a fun fact that makes for an amusing and delightful tidbit in this engaging conversation.

Pickleball and Beyond

In this episode, Daniel shares his experience with the Austin Ignite and what it’s like playing in the thriving National Pickleball League. The discussion also veers into the growing popularity of pickleball, how the sport is evolving, and why it appeals to former athletes like him. As pickleball continues to ascend in the sports world, stories like Daniel’s provide a personal touch to the broader narrative of this fast-growing sport.

An Episode Not to Miss

“People of Pickleball” is known for bringing forward stories that inspire, entertain, and inform. Michael Sleeves Sliwa, with his engaging style and insightful questions, makes sure that every episode, including this latest with Daniel Gold, is not just about pickleball but about the people who give the sport its heartbeat. Whether you’re a longtime fan, a pickleball player, or just someone who loves good storytelling, this episode is a must-listen.

Tune into the People of Pickleball Podcast to catch this fascinating episode with Daniel Gold. Discover the intersections of sports, entrepreneurship, and personal growth—all through the lens of pickleball.
