Jessica & Michelle · Tuesday night yoga · Flatiron · salt 88 wearing Set ActiveTuesday night yoga in Flatiron. Michelle and Jessica, side by side on the mats: you can't meet a decent man here either, they all come with their girlfriends. And the fitness stocks? Peloton is a $5 stock, Planet Fitness down 61% this year, Equinox private. Only Life Time is up.
On the tape's daily closes to today: Peloton (PTON) $5.02, down 40% in a year; Planet Fitness (PLNT) $42.59, down 61% this year; Xponential (XPOF), which owns CycleBar, a $4 stock down 50%; Lululemon (LULU) $103, down 51%. The exception is Life Time (LTH), up 43%. Equinox is private, so there is nothing to buy or short. Michelle and Jessica take their Tuesday night yoga class in Flatiron and reach the same verdict about the men and the market: both down bad.
in plain EnglishThe companies behind boutique fitness, Peloton, Planet Fitness, the owner of CycleBar, have lost most of their stock-market value. Michelle and Jessica, side by side on their mats at a Tuesday night yoga class, joke that a yoga class is no better than a bar for meeting decent men, and just as beaten down as the fitness stocks. Only Life Time, the big-box gym, is up.
