An interview with Scott LaGrand, former professional hockey player and current Senior Director Corporate and Institutional Partnerships at the United States Tennis Association Foundation.
And for me that, that just kind of drove me to, obviously drove me to sports, playing collegiately at Boston College and being drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers and spending nine years playing professional hockey. And that, I believe that sports really kind of is such a positive influence on our lives in so many different ways. How to interact within a team environment, being a team player, having a work ethic, and dealing with, dealing not only with winning, but dealing with losing. And those are all kind of life lessons that I think are critically important.Scott LaGrand

An interview with Jeff Jeran, Senior Director at Power Wellness.
And I think that's, that's what makes a medical fitness center so special. It's just, it's a community very similar to group exercise. The reason why group exercise is so successful is it builds a tribe, and everyone is part of that, and hold each other kind of accountable when they show up. So I think that's, that's kind of the big part of what makes medical fitness successful.Jeff Jeran

An interview with Michaela Brown, General Manager at VIDA Fitness & Aura Spa.
So group fitness is certainly not a trend. It is a vital organ of health and fitness. We like to think of group fitness as the heartbeat of our gym here. It sells memberships, right?

An interview with Mark Harrington, Jr., President at Healthworks, Republic Fitness and GymIt
So some of the things we look at is, is, how do we get the word out that we're not we're not just some company from another city or owned by private equity that is coming in here to make a buck. How can we be out front and talk about how we really do care about this, and all of our teams care about this, and we were looking for local community partners that share this vision and we can work together to kind of make the entire community more physically active.

An interview with Joe Nadglowski, President and CEO at Obesity Action Coalition
In fact, in our advocacy work around comprehensive care, we say people should have access to nutrition, physical activity, mental health, and then, and then medicine, surgery, whatever else they need, like that comprehensive care. And I think in my ideal world, if I could wave a wand and create the, the new healthcare system, all of those services would be reimbursed, right?

An interview with Devin Lebrun, SVP Innovation & Strategic Partnerships, and MV Shook, Healthcare & Innovation Manager, at Orangetheory Fitness
There was no lack of care across the people that we talked to and an interest in helping their patients. What we found was there was a lack of tools and support for them to do that, a lack of understanding of how to do it, and the goal would be to help support them there and create quite a frictionless process for them to just integrate it, because there's no lack of a desire to do it, which is really, really helpful to bring this movement to life.
Devin Lebrun
With your work and with the resources you've helped us create, we're able to then help educate those providers who are already in our studios of hey, like, if you love this and you're helping treat someone and you think this might be a good solution for them, too, or you have other healthcare provider friends that are looking for that movement solution that they love, like we would love to be something that they consider for that.

An interview with Brendan Kelly, Owner and CEO of The Well Being Counseling and Fitness Center and Dr. Ben Davidson, Chair of The Well Being Foundation Board of Directors and a practicing physician.
And so we work with people, kind of try to meet them where they're at and come up with a concrete plan for movement for them, which then, when it's finished, the client gets a copy of the movement plan, and the therapist gets a copy of the movement plan. And then, on an ongoing basis, the therapist will review the plan with the client. If the client is doing well with the plan, they're exercising, they're moving their bodies, then the therapist is is really saying, How do you feel?” Because that's our focus. We always want to bring the exercise back to how does it make you feel?

As you referred to, each one of these practice areas or domains has a movement driving, whether it's mindfulness or time in nature or nutrition and exercise. They are well entrenched, well established movements already. So we need a movement of movements, and that's what the coalition would be intended to try to pull together…”

An interview with Dr. Euan Ashley, Chair of the Department of Medicine at Stanford University.
I mean, it's really my favorite fact of any fact in the world, and it comes up because a lot of the time, and you just made this point well, that people feel they don't have time to exercise. And I get that. And there are lots of ways we can think of helping people answer that question, but, but the way I usually start, which I'm not sure what they think when I tell them this, but, but it's the way I usually start, is by telling them that you definitely have time to exercise, because data has clearly shown that one minute of exercise will buy you five minutes of extra life.

An interview with Simon Matthews, Director at the Global Positive Health Institute.
We know that social, social connection, close relationships, lead to pro health choices, in other words, where we're more likely to make decisions about our health that are good for us when we're socially connected. And there's all sorts of mechanisms for that, including just the idea of social influence, including the idea of role modeling or vicarious learning.

An interview with Zoya Lehrer, Co-Founder and CEO of Orgo.
So to not lose ourselves right in that runaround and to reflect our own yes, physical needs, but also mental and everything else that comes along with that definitely ties into the way that we think about overall the platform allowing to measure time accurately, and once we do, we can then start to make those better decisions for ourselves.

So in terms of impact, yeah, we recognize that it's more than a soccer ball. It's more than just a pair of cleats. What it really translates to is making sure that that kid has the resources he or she needs to be able to step onto the field comfortably, confidently and safely, to engage in something that could be, you know, a sport they're trying for the first time. It could be a physical education class where it's really the only opportunity they have to engage within organized play.

An interview with Dr. Allie Riley, Chief Program Officer at Girls on the Run.
And through that study, we saw 97% of girls develop critical life skills throughout the course of the program. A stat that I think this group of listeners will love is that girls who are least active at the beginning of the season increase their physical activity level by 40%. And they maintain that at the follow-up three months out.

And I think that's really important to know that it takes a collective movement, and we all have things that we can contribute.
