Quotes:
“The focus I still think has been people are more interested in building muscle, but the people that had muscle and have put on some fluff, as I love to call it, they’re looking to shed that fluff again.” [Ali, 6:05]
“I think people are starting to realize how [having] that much stress in their life is actually causing physical harm to them, and that exercise is a great way to build your physical health and relieve stress, but not for everybody and not all the time.” [Ali, 11:21]
“I think breathing, sleeping and walking are all things you just do, but there’s an optimal way to do all three of those.” [Nick, 12:57]
“It seems to be that the grand overall main theme in the industry in 2023 is going to be longevity. So we’re shifting a culture away from looking for quick fixes and short-term goals with unrealistic expectations.” [Megan, 14:02]
“I think we’re going to see a lot of people finding their home in the boutique [fitness] industry as we’re coming out of the pandemic, places are opening up and people are becoming more accustomed to getting back out there in the world.” [Megan, 15:53]
