Episode description

Sheldon had a birthday!  We had to get a fire permit for the candles on the cake.... Meredith opens with a recap of a chat she had with a few long time Echelon riders that have, let's say "unique" leaderboard names.

We jump right in with our guest, the amazing and inspiring Janet Adams.  She gives us the scoop on how fitness became such an important part of who she is and you won't believe what she did to fuel her dedication to fitness when she had a traveling job!  We also talk Early morning "Weirdos", what she does to fuel her mornings, and she gives what might be one of the best answers yet to our "Pick a Question" challenge.

In connected fitness, lots happening as usual.  Hydrow releases a pause feature for On-Demand, and they do it "right".  A glitch in the Mother's Day offer for the Peloton Guide gives some folks a REALLY good deal. We talk about "Dance Fitness".  Core (Nautilus owner) buys Wexer.  Wahoo buys RGT Cycling. And we briefly touch on the world of specialized protein bars.

In Echelon news - an article in the Chattanooga Times Free Press:  Echelon makes some changes in right sizing some departments; Commercial has been the fastest growing segment; #1 seller by volume has been the treadmill products.  We touch on a new "first" for Echelon classes - the 60 minute row class!   A whole bucket of shout outs and fun leaderboard names too.

We wrap up the show with our "Best, worst movie" survey results and launch a new Snackdown! for next episode!
