Lululemon’s laying off 120 people following Peloton deal.

Lululemon isn’t wasting time getting out of connected fitness. Following news it’s outsourcing content production to Peloton and halting Mirror sales, the company is laying off an additional 120 employees from its Studio division. This is a second round too, after laying off another 100 employees in July.

This is hardly surprising. Connected fitness companies that relied on premium hardware sales are all struggs to func these days. Turns out, the average joe isn’t fond of shelling out thousands for smart gym equipment when a digital subscription is much, much cheaper.

Why connected fitness feels adrift: a tale of two rowers

I’ve been testing the Ergatta and Aviron Strong for months. Both are great rowers, but I’m struggling to see a future for pricey connected fitness hardware.

Garmin’s fall software update is here.

One of the best things about Garmin is it often brings newer features to older models for free. Starting today, owners of the second-gen Epix, Fenix 7 series, Forerunner series, and Venu series can get some of the cool stuff introduced earlier this spring on the Epix Pro and Fenix 7 Pro. That includes the new Endurance and Hill Scores, muscle maps, weather map overlays, and... a fish forecast. You can check out the full list at the link below.

Personally, I don’t need a Hill Score to tell me I stink at uphill running but hey, it might be more helpful for you!
