Below is a link to an interview with the CEO and co-founder of Beachbody, Carl Deikeler. He says that, as a result of the lockdown, there was a 220% increase in subscribers and a 79 percent increase in usage versus the same time last year to Beachbody On Demand.

Now that people can't go to their local gyms to work out as a result of the lockdown, they're now starting to embrace the idea of doing home video workouts.

I had no doubt that was gonna happen. I'm hoping it doesn't slow down the site or crash it. Funny how some businesses are actually benefiting from this.

Obviously those people haven’t read the threads here about Beach Body’s scary customer service.

Today I saw a commercial on TV with Carl Daikeler in which he was offering "free membership" to 1000 (possibly more) people who text him. He didn't explicitly says so, but I expect it was for a free trial membership. Clever move, since I think they offer free trial anyway and this isn't any "special" deal.

I just saw a similar commercial with Autumn for the first $10,000 people!, Unlimited Access! Text HOME to 3030 or something like that.
