The Gym Was Never About The Gym

Recorded on location at Freakin Fitness in Weston, Florida, with a panel of men who built something there.

Storm Kaufman, Logan Kaufman, Patrick Neeley and Amar Ravi. The gym is the setting, not the subject. What happens to a man who has somewhere to show up, people who notice when he doesn't, and a reason to keep his word to somebody. Plus why phones and social media are quietly eating the thing that makes any of it work.
