This is a really cool initiative. Are you planning to share your traffic metrics the same way?

This week, I went to the gym 3 times after several years of failing to find a suitable way to fit it into my schedule. Late evening is the best time and the thought had never occurred to me until now.

Heck yeah! I've been doing mornings a lot more but prefer evenings because I'm not rushed.

Exactly! Also, there is usually significantly fewer people there. And, since I live close by, I can go straight in my gym clothes then back, take a shower home and wash the sweaty uniform right away.

Ah that's so nice! I like to think I'd go to the gym more often if it was close by. My gym is a 40 min subway commute involving a very long walk in the winter or two transfers 😒
