AI is part of our world now, whether we like it or not. And that means that all aspects of the garage gym world will be affected. Not just by ai, but by the acceptance of mediocrity that it brings with it. Is ai going to make your home gym better, or worse? It's up to you!

Clickbait title and thumbnail? Yep! Still worth a listen? Yep! Rep Fitness has recently made some decisions that have upset their PR4000 and Altitude rack customers. Some of them, anyway. In this episode I cover the issue completely as well as chime in with some tips for Rep on how I think they should handle it.
