Sometimes they follow a specific bike around the studio or a specific Pilates reformer around the studio, or sometimes they just like to be in the front row ori in the back row." [Nick, 4:54] "We already had this feature where clients could see what classes their friends are signed up for, but now they can actually see where their friends are sitting. So if they were to look at a map, they'll see the instructor's face where they'll be, they'll see spots that are taken by people that are not their friends, and they'll see spots that are taken by their friends " [Nick, 6:12] "From the community aspect, it really amplifies the friends feature that we have and gives the friend connections more ammunition than it had before."
