Dr. Paul Juris, Director of Sports Science, Brooklyn Boulders

A classically trained research scientist with a Doctorate in Motor Learning, Dr. Paul Juris is a seminal figure in the HALO sector. He was a Professor of Human Movement Studies at Columbia University and later went on to construct the (then new) Equinox Fitness Training Institute to a level never seen before. "We wanted to bring as much scientific rigor into the program as possible . . . I introduced movement science to that program, which at the time really didn't exist in the fitness industry," he states. In this wide ranging discussion, Paul offers his thoughts on what needs to be looked at more closely in our "typical" model, the evolution of education in the industry, discussion of fitness tech's pros and cons, and much more!
