Cult.fit in the Jungle

Everyone wants to ‘get fit.’ But is getting fit as easy as it seems?


An Indian company that is synonymous with the word ‘fit’ is Cult.fit. The fitness chain has spread like wildfire. But do we really understand the kind of fitness it sells? In this episode, we talk about why you should not join Cult fit. Of course, this depends on who you are, what are your goals, and other intrinsic things.


Cult works on the principle of group dynamics. Everyone in a Cult center is a beginner. You need not make any effort in learning new things, making mistakes, and gaining experience. Everything at Cult is manicured at a premium. 


Fitness should not be about dependence. It should come from within. But it only comes after we’ve gotten a taste for it, experienced a few feedback loops, and seen some results. Once this is achieved, all forms of dependence should be avoided. One of the reasons why Cult is so popular is because it breeds dependence - for the trainers, equipment, and routines. 


Its all about preferences, Cult gives you many. That’s because you do not know what you want. Once you find out what you want, once you move from zero to one, you should leave Cult, find your ‘n.’ If you want to stay fit, you should leave Cult.
