    Home Fitness vs Gyms

    Here we are with another episode of the Weekly Watt, the podcast where we discuss the latest news and updates in connected fitness. This week, Laura and Colin talk about the upcoming Apple Watch fitness updates, the new Normatec 3 compression system, Peloton bringing back in-person studio rides, and something strange going on with the Peloton Rower. The topic of the day is home fitness versus gyms. The strengths and weaknesses of each and why some may prefer one over the other. Listen or watch the episode below!

In her previous career, Laura was a middle school English teacher for 12 years, and frankly, she is having difficulty writing about herself in the third person. The love of her life is her dog, Billy, a near-perfect lab/collie that she rescued six and a half years ago (or did he rescue her? someone get her a bumper sticker).  Aside from walking her dog every day, in her free time Laura enjoys traveling, frequenting the gym, reading every book that she can get her hands on, shopping at Trader Joe’s, and playing euchre with her friends. She has never been to WWDC. You can find Laura on Twitter @LauraMRosenberg or Instagram @lauramirose.
