Just a few thoughts
It’s a week of fresh podcasts. Gym founders in a small Utah town. An Olympian. A training guru’s Kilter Board debut. Exercises and injuries. Also a focus on children’s mental health, and why they matter to gyms. A few routesetting videos. And CBJ’s 11th annual industry trends report. Yeah, don’t miss that one, it’s our best ever.
