Quotes:

“What I’m seeing now, at least from what I have gathered from the industry, is there is a focus that is shifting from ‘we work out to get strong, to we work out to survive longer.’” [Megan, 5:18]

“I think there has also just been a huge resurgence in people wanting to do very difficult poses based on what they are seeing on Instagram.” [Rachel, 6:02]

“Small business is suffering, as everyone knows, so I think the more friends you can have, the more allies, the more wellness-based other small businesses, the better you are going to be in this kind of post-pandemic reality that we’re now living in.” [Rachel, 15:55]

“People are getting really creative, as they need to be. You know you need to be really nimble, and you need to constantly pivot.” [Rachel, 32:20]
