Chris explains why accessibility should come before intensity, why so many coaches are failing athletes, how better movement and mobility can keep people in the sport longer, and what fitness brands need to do if they want to continue growing beyond hardcore enthusiasts.Finally, we sat down with Brian Lee, the creator of TRYKA, to discuss the vision behind the rapidly growing series.
