[Content warning: On this episode, you’ll hear me mention sexual assault briefly - if you’re not ready to hear that. Skip this one and come back next week.] Captain understatement here: It’s been two challenging years to be alive on planet earth. And so this shared trauma led to more and more people experiencing reemerging, worsened or totally new mental health issues.

If you asked 1999 Kristen what the future of fitness looked like, she would have shamelessly stolen tropes from Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century. Workouts led by a holographic fitness instructor, pick-up games of anti-gravity basketball, and silver scrunchies holding our hair in space buns were all BOUND to be in place by 2049. A...

Let’s start this episode off with a few numbers, courtesy of the excellent and meticulous Nicholas Rizzo at the website RunRepeat.com. In 2019, the fitness industry was valued at $159 billion - yes, billion with a B. Which, at the time, was the most it had ever been valued at. When the pandemic hit in 2020, the industry then experienced a 32% decline - not surprising, but still a painful number. Now, as I write this on February 16, 2022, the fitness industry’s valuation seems to be almost back ...

Who’s the first female fitness figure you vividly remember? For me, it’s Mia Hamm. I was 10 years old in 1999, when Mia and the U.S. women won the World Cup in an epic shootout. And yes, that was the one with the Brandi Chastain sports bra moment. By the time I was participating in sports, TItle IX had been around for nearly 20 years. The 90s felt like women were really stepping into their athletic power through sports. But long before I was born, women had been quietly - and then loudly- crusa...
