Following a boycott of Equinox and SoulCycle, the hosts brainstorm a "Spin Gym" concept. The idea involves a hybrid workout where participants use spin bikes while simultaneously performing weightlifting exercises.

Flywheel, a major competitor to the SoulCycle spin studio franchise, has filed for bankruptcy. The company faced internal turmoil after employees pressured John Wayne's daughter, a major investor, to pull out of the company due to controversial comments made by the actor in 1972. This withdrawal of capital contributed to the franchise's financial collapse.

High-end fitness brands SoulCycle and Equinox faced a massive boycott after it was revealed that their owner, billionaire Stephen Ross, hosted a fundraiser for President Trump. Celebrities and members cancelled memberships in protest, though the companies issued statements distancing themselves from Ross's personal political activities. In Texas, Joaquin Castro faced criticism for "outing" local Trump donors on social media, a move some believe will ultimately hurt media advertising revenue.

A satirical look at the fitness industry focuses on the popularity of spinning classes like SoulCycle. The segment mocks the trend of adding heat, candles, and hand weights to stationary bike workouts to justify high prices. One host defends the practice as a healthy, community-based activity despite the lack of "co-ed showers."
