They are getting on yahoo.com, self magazine, ESPN, etc... for all of HQ's shenanigans and idiocy, they won and the haters have lost.
Now we can continue to hate and ridicule all we want but nobody listens except for us.
They are still idiots, douches and jokes to real training but that is what the public wants and what sells.
@fit is like Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper and they will never admit that.
For all the time wasted on this thread by all of us posting our hate, anger, laughter and disgust hundreds of boxes opened up, millions of dollars were made off certs and media exposure increased exponentially.
Yea, we didn't make a difference whatsoever, we are just people yelling in an empty room.
We see things differently.
They started this thing off as some fitness revolution, designed to create firebreathing athletes that were fitter and more elite than marathon runners and football players. They sought out to destroy the notion of the "globogym" and to revamp the way people ate.
It's turned into some fad fitness program that shows up in Mens' and Womens' health magazines demonstrated by air-brushed fitness models, on celebrities' twitter pages, and on ESPN2. There is One True Fad diet that goes along with it, which is also appearing in Mens and Womens' health mags.
If that's what they want to be, then fine, they got that. But it's still no more of a viable tool for a competitive athlete than when it started, and most athletes recognize this.
