And a lot of the fitness studios have yoga. I'm not sure if Planet Fitness does, which I would be very surprised if they did have yoga, but I think that's a super important part of any fitness place, especially if you're not looking just to be the bodybuilder, but staying mobile and having that. Those stretching routines are so effective
