Emergency mini episode! We're going ghost mode and to share our thoughts on the "winter arc" trend.
Run Clubs - they're in your city. Crowding the sidewalks, stinking up breweries, and, apparently, replacing dating apps. In this episode we investigate (with many lengthy tangents) why this long time fitness staple is experiencing a surge in popularity. Is the hype real? Are people really finding love at the run club?
We're going back to our roots with a classic fitness industry deep dive! Today we're covering two iconic indoor cycling brands - SoulCycle and Peloton.
*Note*: At a couple points Carolyn refers to one of the founders of SoulCycle as Ruth Zuckerberg. This is incorrect- Her name is Ruth Zuckerman.
