This Cannot Be Experienced in Isolation

Look at the photo above. I haven’t asked him, but let’s assume the gentleman on the right, Zander, had a wonderful training session. Let’s say 1) he enjoyed it and 2) it was effective at improving his fitness capacity. 

Now, erase all the people to the left of him. Make it the same guy, same workout, different context. One hundred times out of a hundred, if you remove the context of the experience at DEUCE, the experience is diminished

Context matters here. 

But, that was Zander’s experience. Now, look to the left of him. That’s Jenna. Zander needed Jenna and others to create his training context. But, isn’t the same true for Jenna? 

Jenna needs Zander to her left in order to enjoy the training context she’s experiencing in this image. So, at the risk of sounding corny, the DEUCE experience is created by you all. Without each other, this simply doesn’t work. 

When you show up here, you aren’t just taking a class. You’re giving to everyone else. 

Thank you.
