What is the controversy around group fitness?
The reason why I want to bring it up also is because I remember back when, not even that long ago, that was like the thing to do, right? Everybody wanted to do Barry's Bootcamp. If you went to Barry's Bootcamp, it was like the hardest workout in the world. You feel like you're sweating. It's like super difficult. You feel like you've done so much. But I actually, and you're going to hate me because Leroy actually owns a group fitness gym, which is kind of ironic. We do a lot of things, but group fitness is a big part of it.

You're kind of doing this, you know, you're kind of just like a lot of times it goes so fast. You're just trying to keep up. And it's a lot of cardio at the end of the day, even when, because the whole goal is to like make, to kill somebody basically, right?
And what I've had a lot of happen to me was I had a lot of injuries and my appetite went through the roof after that class. So I ended up eating double or triple the amount that I would have otherwise had if I just kind of did more of a moderate workout or just did strength training and a walk. Go ahead.
