THE EDITORIAL DESKSTORIES ABOUT SYSTEMS, POWER AND THE PEOPLE RUNNING THEM
The story
Retention in fitness is a scheduling problem wearing a motivation costume. One gym floor treated it that way and stopped losing members in week six.
THE MYTH UNDER THE JAW
Foundry opened in a workshop that still has the crane rail bolted to the ceiling. No mirrors were installed. That was a decision, not a budget.
The first twenty members were all people who had quit a big-box gym within a month.
THE FIELD RECORD
Dana arrived after two years away from training and a shoulder that clicked. Her first session was eleven minutes long and involved a wall.
Fourteen months later she deadlifted 100kg at a Saturday class, and the whole floor stopped to watch.
People do not quit training because it is hard. They quit because week one was written for somebody else's body.

A real date, so urgency is honest.
“Free first session as the single conversion step.”
