The Beachbody Episode

from Fit Literate · host Carolyn Viggh and Laura Girard

This week, Laura and Carolyn take of fitness industry juggernaut, Beachbody. Over the last 24 years Beachbody has been responsible for launching the careers of some of the most popular celebrity trainers, releasing some of the most iconic fitness programs of the 2000's and 2010's, and roping thousands of people into selling overpriced protein powder to their old high school acquaintances through facebook messenger. Has Beachbody lived up to its claims of making the world a better place? Or is it just another example of a prolific company prioritizing profit over the wellbeing of their customers? (hint: It's a little bit of the former and A LOT of the latter.) Thanks for listening! For access to exclusive episodes (including the future follow up to this one) join the patreon!
