QUOTES

• “Social media is just like providing value for free. So, just trying to educate the customer. And then it's slowly growing and scaling. We're still growing and scaling as we're going now. And building crews and getting into the commercial world, which has been fun.” - Jim Young
• “A lot of people on across the gyms or they get kind of dirty. And I mean, there's kind of a shift in it now. A lot of them are keeping their gyms a lot nicer, but it's like, you know, some it's like, ‘Hey, what's wiping,’ we'll clean and sanitize the equipment. It's going to look good. You know, that's a big thing too. Cause people are sweating all over the place and it's disgusting.” - Jim Young
