He continued: “We’ve proven that there’s more to our industry than just dumbbells and weights. We strongly believe that the educational resources we provide, in addition to the core products we offer, will continue to shape the future of strength training—not only in the way it is applied, but also in the way it is shared. Our sponsored team of leading experts will continue to help lead this charge.”
