Must love the opportunity here:

Enter: the Metaverse
While we wait on VR, the future is taking shape.
https://insider.fitt.co/issue-no-131-fitness-3-0/

In tech circles, the Metaverse is the holy grail. As physical reality collides with digital worlds, the Metaverse is a kind of virtual shared space — think Ready Player One. This always-on, plugged-in existence is far off, but it’s not hard to see how we get there.

Fortnite is foreshadowing of what’s to come. A social network of sorts, Fortnite has become a virtual gathering space. Combining social media and streaming content with cross-platform capabilities and a limitless cap on users, Fortnite transcends gaming — it’s shaping culture.

All told, Fortnite counts 350M registered players. In April, 12M concurrent players participated in Travis Scott’s virtual concert. Last year, 10.7M attendees watched Marshmello’s concert.

Takeaway
With Fortnite as the blueprint, streaming and connected fitness doesn’t seem all that revolutionary. But the Metaverse of Fitness will be.

As our quest to achieve the next great innovation persists, the implications for building community, providing coaching, and improving adherence are seemingly limitless. But short of improving health and curbing obesity, all this tech is simply exertainment for the already fit or individuals who can afford it.

Let’s not forget, for the vast majority of people, walking more, eating well, and spending more time outdoors will do the trick. Which begs the question: maybe we’re solving the wrong problem?

# hiring in technology department/ aggressive and ongoing
# many more mergers and acquisitions in the pipeline
