Quotes:

"My two cents is that you have to buy into your wellness and make it a very significant mindset shift that you are going to invest in it." [Nick, 10:11]

"We're experimenting, we're innovating, people see a little bit of a trend and get very excited, but I don't know [where the fitness industry is headed]. I'd love to fast forward five years and see where it is at." [Nick [12:17]

"It is all driven by the growing demand for multimedia devices and smartphones, coupled with increasing adoption of fitness trackers and health-based wearables." [Ali, 13:33]

"I didn't like how any of those places ran their culture, ran their business, interacted with their customers, so [I thought] if I couldn't find what I like, I was just going to create what I want to see in the world." [Montse, 26:09]

"Anytime I go to a gym and it has that vibe of 'I'm rooting for you to be the best version of yourself today', that is always exciting." [Nick [32:00]
