Crunch Fitness CEO Jim Rowley has seen many fitness fads come and go.
I've invested in a lot of fitness founders, and what I've found is that most have either been über-athletes their whole life or really never led a physical lifestyle: They're not in the gyms. They're not looking at consumer behaviors and patterns. They're developing from a data-focused standpoint. And for that latter group, I think it's really important they understand consumers better.
