WTF Gym Talk

You know those weightloss drugs everyone is talking about? Yeah, you may want to get a bit more educated after hearing what Eric Durak has to say. Eric Durak began his career in fitness. He was fortunate enough to work with some of the top medical researchers in diabetes care, and started Medhealthfit in the early 1990s. After a 17-year career at the University of California, he has returned “to his roots” and is continuing to test the limits of the wellness industry by forming alliances with technology, insurance, marketing, and medical fitness. His latest ventures include software development with Welld Health, co-founder of Fitness is Medicine, affiliate with Perform Lab (blood chemistry company) Strategic Partner in Life Core Group (Aviator health care coaching program). Our Private Health Association (PHA) is groundbreaking in that it will change the business structure for thousands of health clubs and wellness centers allowing them to contract in the private sector. Eric continues to produce education, podcasts, and award-winning online television shows through TV Santa Barbara and You Tube. https://www.medhealthfit.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wtfgymtalk/message

This past week at the FIBO fitness industry conference in Germany, HYROX announced the launch of it's Hyrox365 program - "a comprehensive training and education ecosystem for gym operators and coaches". According to Athletech, "All 2,500 Hyrox-affiliated gyms will become official Hyrox Training Clubs and receive access to an all-in-one training experience with Hyrox Group Training, a cross-functional workout program." As many of you know, I've been a huge fan of Hyrox ever since seeing their "marathon of fitness" event for myself in Chicago and getting to sit down with co-founder Mo Fuerste to learn more about the origins and growth plan for the company. In this podcast, I take a look at what's been reported on the Hyrox365 program and some suggestions I have for Hyrox if they want to truly separate themselves from the CrossFit affiliate model and provide more value for their licensees. —------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The only two group fitness franchises I would invest in… Industrious If you want a well-organized, high operational capacity, barbell-based group fitness experience (aka CrossFit without the stupid shit), then you need to look into Industrious.
