An interview with Dr. Michelle Segar, Director of the SHARP Center at the University of Michigan, behavior change scientist, and author

 And I'm asking people if being active or exercising feels like a chore from one (a chore) to a five (a gift). And through that answer, we find out whether people's reason or why for exercising is based on motives or reasons for exercising that research has found actually make it into a chore or are based on logical or should-based reasons, which we know from research and years of promoting exercise for these reasons are actually, they may get people to start exercising, but they don't get people to to continue.

An interview with Tom Richards, Founder and Managing Editor of the Activist in Motion and Principal of the Activist in Motion Advisory Services

But I don't think that, broadly, what's happening inside the club—the professionalism and the credibility—is being communicated or translated outside the club. And that's put us in this position where we are now being "non essential," lumped together with bars and restaurants and casinos, when we should be lumped together with healthcare providers, allied health professionals, and people who are doing the best work in the community.

An interview with Dr. Darian Parker, Co-Owner of Epic Leisure Management and Host of Dr. D's Social Network

I think the industry was broken before COVID. I think it was extremely broken. And I mean, you've got to think about an industry where 15 to 18% of the population exercises regularly and that hasn't changed in 30 years. What are we doing that that hasn't changed? So to say that the fitness industry was amazing before that, is a huge lie. The industry has been broken.

An interview with Erin Nicole, CEO and Founder of Move Happy®

Businesses are starting to realize that they should care about their employees, but we've got a lot of work to do.  A lot of growth in that area, a lot of professionals needing to take responsibility for their teams. If your employee works a third of their life for your organization or work, then a lot of their time is spent there.  So you should care about their mental health, their mental well being....

There's nothing rocket science about physical movement, eating some vegetables, practicing some mindfulness.  Really, in our experience, the active ingredient, the thing that helps people get traction and transformation in their health, their well being, in their lives, is about community.

An interview with Rick Brush, CEO of Wellville

If we want the kind of outcomes that we say we want, the only way to achieve those is to collaborate and to do it with a longer-term focus.  The short-term fix for an illness might be writing a prescription, the long-term strategy for greater wellbeing improvement is about reshaping communities. A lot of what we're doing with our collaboratives is really pointing further upstream and pointing further into the future. And having those communities come together around what they care about and what they want to achieve over the long haul.

An interview with Mike Alpert, former President and CEO of the Claremont Club and current COO of Smart Health Clubs

I think those that focus on doing the right things and having the right blend of social activities and physical activities in their club are going to reap rewards like they never thought they would when this is over. You have to have it in your blood that your club is more than a place to just come and sweat.

An interview with Jacki Quinlan, Director of Community Outreach at Sports Backers

Our warriors are out there recruiting folks to get moving and leading these free fitness classes. They are literally on the frontlines. We have classes in Gilpin Court, where no one else is out leading classes. There's no gyms. There's no, you know, healthy place to go get food. That's where our warriors are.  We go where really no one else has gone to bring physical activity right to the communities that need them the most.
