Episode description

We kick off today with a little chat about how useless vitamins are.  So.  There's that.  It's still hot as Hades, the rowers lie to us (update: firmware fix seems to fix output!), and Meredith takes a road trip.

Our guest today is the incredibly kind and bendy Ryn Tucker!  Ryn is an instructor on the rower, Reflect, Stride, and Fitpass with her "specialty" being yoga where she has taught thousands of Echelots to bennnnnnnd.  Her classes are magnificent and even Sheldon took a couple (that's a big deal if you know Sheldon).  She also has an amazingly interesting journey.  Professional dancer.  Actress cred.  Oh and degrees in Ancient Near Eastern Languages and Literature, because, "why not!"  She lives her life with the goal of "do something that scares you" and it's one that has led her to us here at Echelon, so for that we are thankful!  Find her Facebook group at Beautiful People of Echelon, her page Ryn Clem Tucker, and her IG accounts: ryn.tucker and dooryogagirl

In industry news, Peloton may be re-releasing the Tread+ with new safety features and their Lizzo ride "breaks Peloton" (but I'm not so sure).  They are also reopening their studio in August and folks are already complaining that the system is broken and that they can't get rides.  Layoffs at Hydrow and Whoop. Nordictrack offering free equipment with a 4 year membership.  Do we need a sleep robot in our lives?  Oura rings now integrate with Strava.

Echelon has some great deals themselves - get a free rower with 2-year membership, an ipad with 1-year membership of EX3 with 2-year membership.  See their website to learn more about the full details.  Lots of new summer programs.  Tour d'echelon coming to a close.  BeatBoxx deals and Treasure hunts.  Bieber ride. New CEO is formally announced and we are thinking we need a new cereal - Echelon Crunch.

In the MovieDown - it was a close one!  Snackdown! is all about staying cool in summer.
