    Yet another Christmas where the Meta Quest app goes to number one. Amazing! So many new people introduced to VR. I remember in 1999 - 2002 or so we’d talk about the same thing. “So many people will be getting a PC for Christmas and logging on to the Internet for the first

    VR fitness! Side note, I was one of the first to sell creatine online, starting in 1997 and then sold about a $250,000,000 of it over the next 17 years with my company Bodybuilding. com. Glad to see how many people are seeing the benefits these days! I still take it every day.

    100%! Everyone will be mad because it's so expensive and so they'll make fun of it or try to put it down, when they secretly or subconsciously want it. Then when it becomes affordable, there will be a month long wait list.

    My wife grew up in Russia and her bed was basically in the tiny kitchen. The small washer/dryer was in the single bathroom next to the toilet.

    Every company in the fitness industry goes after the same 13% of the population that consistently exercises. These people go from gym to gym to wearable to streaming service and back, and everyone competes for them. They forget about the gigantic 87% that are not being served.

    Peloton are getting slammed... how can they return to growth? In a nutshell align their product strategy with their marketing strategy - “Anyone. Anywhere.” The fitness industry as a whole is too obsessed with targeting people who are already exercising.
