If I do your thing, will I get better at this thing? That's the thing I'm interested in, right? So what I see is, oh, a lot of recursive, fun fitness where people feel better, but I still have to go over here and squat, or I still have to go over here and become conditioned. But you can see the truth of needing to expose people

And I think one of the things that we saw with a pivot towards movement culture, kind of coined by Ido Portal, is that what we were seeing is that the gym didn't beget necessarily better movers.

What we had was people originally doing a skill, throwing something, running track and field. We would train and then go do more of that. And then what we did is we took the gym or took the sports skill movement out of it and we just remained in the gym. And you can see the reaction to that as well. You're not very elegant. You can't, don't have any moving solutions.

You don't transfer your energy very well. You're not, you know, you're not graceful. You can't, you have no rhythm. So the real key for us is like, I think we want to put playback in there.

And you can see what the reaction is to, hey, if we're just doing bench press and hack squats, maybe that's not making the best mover, but it's certainly making a jacked guy who's what we call, what is it in that movie, Hot Girl Fit? Where, you know, it's one of the recent movies where the guys, who's the guy from Twisters, that incredible actor he was in, Top Gun.

Anyway, he's swimming and the girl is like, hey, why are you out of breath? He's like, I don't do cardio, I just do abs and biceps. She's like, oh my God, you're hot girl fit.
