Today I’m joined by Jason Baptiste, CEO of STUDIO. 

 

STUDIO is a smart hub for your home gym. 

 

In this episode, we discuss STUDIO’s transition from a fitness app to connected hardware. How digital fitness companies can build community online. Business model innovation in the fitness industry. And whether or not gyms will go the way of movie theatres and arcades.
