Episode #539: Andrew Menter Discusses Physmodo's Impact on Youth Athletes and Orthopedic Medicine
In this episode, we've reconnected with Andrew Menter (episode #135) as we dive into what they've been doing recently over at Physmodo. Pete and Andrew chat about the advancements the company has made since inception, focusing a lot on their consumer app designed for self-assessment in movement screening. Andrew shares the journey of adapting the business from its initial push into fitness spaces to expanding into markets like sports orthopedic medicine.
They also touch on the application of their tech for injury prevention, particularly in youth sports, and the exciting intersection of biomechanical analysis with consumer wearables. Andrew reflects on the challenges and milestones along the way, and offers insights into the future of movement analysis in various industries.
Key themes discussed
- Expanding Fitness Assessment Reach
- Injury Risk Analysis & Trends
- FMS Research and Injury Screening
- Data Ownership and Wearable Insights
- Subscription App with Minimal Signup
- Job Requirements and Assessments
- Workers' Comp and Job Requirements
- Entrepreneurial Solutions in Youth Sports
A few key takeaways:
1. Consumer Movement Assessment: Menter discussed the evolution of Physmodo, highlighting its application as a consumer app. It allows people to to perform a self-movement screen, providing scores on mobility, stability, posture, and symmetry. This is particularly relevant for youth athletes to track movement patterns and identify potential risks for future injuries.
2. Integration with Wearables: The app's potential to integrate with wearables like WHOOP, Garmin, and others was emphasized. It aims to combine biomechanical assessments with biometric data from wearables to provide insights into an someone's readiness for physical activities.
3. Targeting New Markets: Physmodo is expanding beyond fitness centers into other sectors such as sports orthopedics. For instance, the collaboration with a sports orthopedic medicine group in Atlanta to screen 25,000 youth athletes shows the scalability of the assessment tool for larger populations.
4. Continuous Software Innovation: The episode also highlighted the challenges and necessity of continuous software updates and iterations. Menter shared insights about the learning curve involved, since starting with limited software knowledge, emphasizing the importance of version upgrades and adaptability over time.
5. Potential in Occupational Health: There is also potential for using Physmodo in occupational health scenarios, such as workers' comp and job screenings. While there are legal considerations, the idea of using movement assessments to ensure fitness for specific jobs, like warehouse work, was also discussed.

00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:04,500
I am super excited to announce that we now have a formal partnership
2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:08,639
with the prospect wizard. And when I say wizard, I mean
3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:12,480
wizard. Obviously, you have a website. This allows you to
4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,015
convert your website traffic visitors directly into
5
00:00:16,015 --> 00:00:19,615
leads. It's not just another chatbot, and it's not AI, but it
6
00:00:19,615 --> 00:00:23,235
allows a visitor to call, text, or leave a voice mail.
7
00:00:23,375 --> 00:00:26,490
Immediately goes to you, your sales team, or anyone else in the club
8
00:00:26,730 --> 00:00:30,570
instantly. MIT shows a study that if you contact the lead within
9
00:00:30,570 --> 00:00:33,950
ten minutes, chance of them converting goes up nine times
10
00:00:34,410 --> 00:00:38,250
that of the average. We got the Atlanta clubs on it, Vida
11
00:00:38,250 --> 00:00:41,845

18
00:01:03,649 --> 00:01:07,375
This is Pete Moore NYC Halo Talks. We
19
00:01:07,375 --> 00:01:11,155
are going to revisit guest from episode
20
00:01:11,295 --> 00:01:15,055
one three five. One three five. You heard it here first. We are
21
00:01:15,055 --> 00:01:18,780
now gonna be up to the 500 with my friend, Andy
22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,520
Mentor, and we were gonna talk about Fizzmodo, and we were gonna talk about
23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,040
wearing cool glasses, moving, getting the information you
24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,820
need, and maybe not doing that through an enterprise, maybe doing that through consumer
25
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:33,344
direct. So, Andrew, welcome back to your Halo talks.
26
00:01:33,645 --> 00:01:37,405
Hey, Pete. It's great to be back. Thank you. Awesome. So look. We've,
27
00:01:38,125 --> 00:01:41,725
we've we've talked every year for the last probably seven or eight years
28
00:01:41,725 --> 00:01:45,010
about, like, where this company, you you know, is and where it's heading.
29
00:01:45,550 --> 00:01:49,070
You had some really good traction at one point in, some of the health clubs
30
00:01:49,070 --> 00:01:52,510
and studios on the measurement side and entry into personal
31
00:01:52,510 --> 00:01:56,190
training. So give us a an update on where you've evolved the
32
00:01:56,190 --> 00:01:59,995
company and where this consumer app may be an
33
00:01:59,995 --> 00:02:03,675
interesting layer. It's given people wanna do their own thing and track
34
00:02:03,675 --> 00:02:07,355
themselves. Yeah. So I think that, as
35
00:02:07,755 --> 00:02:10,682
you know, I think a lot of people may know that have heard about us
36
00:02:10,682 --> 00:02:14,368
and have seen us at Ursa. We had a partnership with TRX for a
37
00:02:14,368 --> 00:02:18,053
number of years and got a lot of traction in in the fitness space,
38
00:02:18,053 --> 00:02:21,738
and and we're still doing well there. But our solution of, you know, doing
39
00:02:21,738 --> 00:02:24,655
a thirty second movement screen where we can get a lot of you know, you
40
00:02:24,655 --> 00:02:27,855
can self assess, get high throughput. We can be we can be in a lot
41
00:02:27,855 --> 00:02:31,694
of other markets, and I think since we chatted, that's, that's something
42
00:02:31,694 --> 00:02:34,995
to really highlight. So one example is we're with
43
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,060
sports orthopedic medicine group out of Atlanta,
44
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,300
and they work with 25,000 youth athletes.
45
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,480
And so think about that. If you wanna screen twenty
46
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,295
five thousand people and do it, you know, on
47
00:02:52,295 --> 00:02:56,135
a fairly regular basis, you're gonna need something where you
48
00:02:56,135 --> 00:02:59,435
can get, you know, such high throughput. And so
49
00:02:59,815 --> 00:03:03,595
What what are we screening for? What what what do what given that
50
00:03:03,815 --> 00:03:06,075
population of orthopedic,
51
00:03:07,590 --> 00:03:10,970
either surgeons or doctors or or, you know, preventative,
52
00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:15,030
whatever it is, they got 25,000 as their as their youth
53
00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:18,730
pop in Greater Atlanta. What do they wanna screen and how often
54
00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:22,485
should they be doing it, and how do you do that for them? So
55
00:03:23,425 --> 00:03:27,185
you you mentioned about the consumer app. So you if you if you
56
00:03:27,185 --> 00:03:29,205
wanna screen people when they're in school,
57
00:03:30,785 --> 00:03:34,530
that's not real practical because you're not gonna have 24. It's not one
58
00:03:34,530 --> 00:03:37,730
school. It's multiple schools. But you're just not gonna have even if it's a school
59
00:03:37,730 --> 00:03:41,409
of 400 people, athletes, you're not gonna have them go to the training
60
00:03:41,409 --> 00:03:45,250
room and and and screen, you know, too often. So you gotta have
61
00:03:45,250 --> 00:03:49,025
these kids being able to screen, screen remotely on on the
62
00:03:49,025 --> 00:03:52,625
cons on the consumer app. So, yeah, what are they trying to screen
63
00:03:52,625 --> 00:03:56,305
for? So, you know, for those that don't know, it's three overhead squats. We're
64
00:03:56,305 --> 00:03:59,685
measuring mobility, stability, posture, and
65
00:03:59,745 --> 00:04:03,540
symmetry. And, you know, the one one I like to bring up
66
00:04:03,540 --> 00:04:07,000
is so we're getting a lot of ACL tears in women's soccer.
67
00:04:07,299 --> 00:04:11,140
Yep. Girls' basketball. My niece, is is
68
00:04:11,140 --> 00:04:14,900
playing this year as freshman in, in d two in basketball. She's
69
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:18,445
torn ACL. She's at Roosevelt in, in Chicago.
70
00:04:18,904 --> 00:04:22,585
It's with, what's that conference with? Like, Ferris
71
00:04:22,585 --> 00:04:25,965
State and Grand Valley. It's pretty top d two school.
72
00:04:26,425 --> 00:04:30,060
So, yeah. But I mean, she had teammates, you know,
73
00:04:30,780 --> 00:04:34,620
basketball, men's or women's, especially on the women's side with
74
00:04:34,620 --> 00:04:38,220
with ACL. So one thing we're looking for are, you know, do you have a
75
00:04:38,220 --> 00:04:41,980
valgus fault? So we're looking at that and, again, just
76
00:04:41,980 --> 00:04:45,360
trying to see if there's poor movement patterns and have some intervention protocols.
77
00:04:45,815 --> 00:04:49,415
Is your software as a consumer I do the squats. Does it
78
00:04:49,415 --> 00:04:52,695
critique it right away? Does it give me a score? Does it tell me what
79
00:04:52,695 --> 00:04:55,995
I'm at risk of? How how does it work exactly?
80
00:04:56,854 --> 00:05:00,520
Yeah. We're we're real careful not to do anything close
81
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,120
to diagnostic. We're just trying to give you information. But, yeah, it'll give you a
82
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,880
score, an overall score based primarily based on your mobility and your
83
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,340
and your stability. Point out where you may have some some issues,
84
00:05:12,025 --> 00:05:15,785
some inefficiencies, and then we have a a personalized protocol
85
00:05:15,785 --> 00:05:19,065
about what you can do. Here's a set of three to five things, Pete, that
86
00:05:19,065 --> 00:05:22,745
you can do to help yourself. Now, if if if you track
87
00:05:22,745 --> 00:05:26,550
the data, not not I'm I'm a, I'm all for, like,
88
00:05:26,550 --> 00:05:30,070
science, and and I know you guys have been testing this. But if I have
89
00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:33,910
a low score and then, like, a week or two later, I I bust my
90
00:05:33,910 --> 00:05:37,475
ACL. Okay. That's actually, like, linear, you
91
00:05:37,475 --> 00:05:41,155
know, hey. We told you you had some issues here. You should have
92
00:05:41,155 --> 00:05:44,915
gone and checked out or figured out, you know, how to how to, you know,
93
00:05:44,915 --> 00:05:48,514
recover from this or whatever it was before you got your ACL.
94
00:05:48,514 --> 00:05:52,130
Or is there not enough data to say, hey.
95
00:05:52,430 --> 00:05:55,710
People with great scores, they also bust their ACL like it happens. You know? They
96
00:05:55,710 --> 00:05:59,490
do a different type of turn or something happened in the game or,
97
00:05:59,630 --> 00:06:02,930
you know, what have you. So how do you kinda either support that
98
00:06:03,230 --> 00:06:07,005
claim or combat that if I was a naysayer, which I'm not,
99
00:06:07,005 --> 00:06:10,765
by the way, and I like your glasses as well. Okay? And I'm all
100
00:06:10,765 --> 00:06:14,605
about Fizzmodo, okay, for for quite some time
101
00:06:14,605 --> 00:06:17,965
now. So does the score indicate an
102
00:06:17,965 --> 00:06:21,400
actual injury? And is that a trend
103
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,760
analysis that you could show someone and be like, hey. Look. Let me tell you
104
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,200
what this is gonna do for you and for your team because this is what
105
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,560
happens when someone gets a little score and they don't do anything about it. They
106
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,285
get injured. That's That that's I I like
107
00:06:35,285 --> 00:06:38,425
that because so there is research out there,
108
00:06:38,725 --> 00:06:42,505
which has gotten some scrutiny looking at the at the FMS.
109
00:06:42,645 --> 00:06:46,440
And I I think the number is maybe
110
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,140
14.3. So their max score is 21 on their screen.
111
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,740
And some research saying if you get below
112
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,580
a 14.3, you have a greater propensity to get injured.
113
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,345
Again, there there has been some scrutiny. So a couple things. Right
114
00:07:02,345 --> 00:07:06,025
now, since we are now finally going out with this new version we
115
00:07:06,025 --> 00:07:09,785
have where people can do the screen, we also have the soreness map front and
116
00:07:09,785 --> 00:07:13,625
back, where you can put in your soreness front and back, injuries, and then we
117
00:07:13,625 --> 00:07:17,310
can have the the tracking. So we today, no.
118
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,069
We we we don't have that FMS 14.3
119
00:07:21,069 --> 00:07:24,289
equivalent, but, yes, that's what we're driving towards.
120
00:07:24,750 --> 00:07:28,509
To say, you have certain number and we can go into
121
00:07:28,509 --> 00:07:32,245
not just, hey. You have mobility issues. You're going to likely have an
122
00:07:32,245 --> 00:07:36,085
injury or more predisposed to an injury. But, specifically, your shoulder
123
00:07:36,085 --> 00:07:39,845
is 43. Below below which of 43, you're you're more
124
00:07:39,845 --> 00:07:43,044
likely to get a shoulder injury. Now the one thing I will add to that
125
00:07:43,044 --> 00:07:46,530
is, here's the issue. Because I and I won't name the name, but
126
00:07:46,530 --> 00:07:50,150
talking to, a college, I said, I don't I don't want that information.
127
00:07:50,610 --> 00:07:54,370
Oh, interesting. Because if I have somebody that I know, if
128
00:07:54,370 --> 00:07:57,969
they're below a 43 and they have a greater chance to get a shoulder
129
00:07:57,969 --> 00:08:01,525
injury and they get a 42 and then I put them out there
130
00:08:01,525 --> 00:08:05,205
and they injure their shoulder, I I have some liability issues
131
00:08:05,205 --> 00:08:09,045
here. Wow. Okay. So I think so it's kinda
132
00:08:09,045 --> 00:08:12,805
interesting because, yeah, you gotta you know, it's it's, you know,
133
00:08:12,805 --> 00:08:16,140
every you know, people are looking for, you know, waste waste to sue people because
134
00:08:16,220 --> 00:08:19,805
that's that's, you know, like, a
135
00:08:20,037 --> 00:08:23,420
big thing. This is Pete Moore. I wanna let you in on a
136
00:08:23,420 --> 00:08:27,180
little secret. There's this company called Promotion Vault, and what they
137
00:08:27,180 --> 00:08:30,825
do is they give out rewards from retailers that allow
138
00:08:30,825 --> 00:08:34,665
you to incentivize your members without having to do zero
139
00:08:34,665 --> 00:08:38,265
down and one month free or giving away shakes or
140
00:08:38,265 --> 00:08:41,625
giving away t shirts. What you wanna do is build a rewards
141
00:08:41,625 --> 00:08:45,370
program that lasts, that people value, and that doesn't
142
00:08:45,370 --> 00:08:48,970
discount your own products and services. So here's the deal. There's something
143
00:08:48,970 --> 00:08:52,649
called rewards vault. The rewards vault is going to allow a
144
00:08:52,649 --> 00:08:56,329
member to set up their own profile. They are going to answer
145
00:08:56,329 --> 00:08:59,964
questions. You are gonna get those answers. You're gonna be able to target those
146
00:08:59,964 --> 00:09:03,345
members, and you're gonna reward them inside your club,
147
00:09:03,485 --> 00:09:06,925
inside your spa, and outside of the club and outside of the
148
00:09:06,925 --> 00:09:10,685
spa to get them to become loyal, to get them to pay their
149
00:09:10,685 --> 00:09:14,490
monthly dues, and to be rewarded properly for the
150
00:09:14,490 --> 00:09:18,250
actions. A lot of companies are cutting back on rewards. You shouldn't be.
151
00:09:18,250 --> 00:09:21,310
Promotion Vault's your answer. Trust me. This is real.
152
00:09:25,265 --> 00:09:29,045
I wanna pivot towards something completely different. You just mentioned something
153
00:09:29,425 --> 00:09:33,185
that I don't talk about on any podcast to date. You said we
154
00:09:33,185 --> 00:09:36,885
got a new software version coming out. When you started this company,
155
00:09:37,260 --> 00:09:40,780
did you have any idea how many new software versions you were gonna have to
156
00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:44,620
come out with? I didn't know how many software versions, and I didn't
157
00:09:44,620 --> 00:09:48,060
know that I have to do about 1,400 decks. But
158
00:09:48,140 --> 00:09:51,764
yeah. Right. It's 02/2025 almost now. I I I
159
00:09:51,764 --> 00:09:55,444
think when we started in 2016, we were gonna
160
00:09:55,444 --> 00:09:59,125
be out by twenty twenty twenty one, something like that. Four years
161
00:09:59,125 --> 00:10:02,725
later, we've just kind of rebooted after COVID. So Right.
162
00:10:03,045 --> 00:10:06,745
That year's surge my When I started my software company back in Arizona,
163
00:10:07,829 --> 00:10:11,370
I thought we were gonna, like, update and modify, but I never really
164
00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:15,829
fully contemplated what, like, new versions were. You know? It's
165
00:10:15,829 --> 00:10:19,510
like launching a completely new product. Well, I don't know
166
00:10:19,510 --> 00:10:23,185
about you, but when I launched this software, I didn't really know
167
00:10:23,185 --> 00:10:26,945
anything about software. So that was a that was a challenge.
168
00:10:26,945 --> 00:10:30,305
I under I I loved what we're doing. Like, hey, I've had a
169
00:10:30,305 --> 00:10:33,925
left Achilles tear. I have a torn left meniscus.
170
00:10:34,065 --> 00:10:37,820
I have a ruptured, bicep tendon, left side.
171
00:10:38,060 --> 00:10:41,900
Slap tear, left side. It's all left. It's all asymmetric. So I'm interested in okay.
172
00:10:41,900 --> 00:10:45,740
There there's this asymmetry issue I have going on, and I I have
173
00:10:45,740 --> 00:10:49,425
a a passion for what we we do. I
174
00:10:49,425 --> 00:10:52,005
love the people we work with. I like the different markets.
175
00:10:53,505 --> 00:10:56,965
I just don't know. I just didn't know the first thing about software. So,
176
00:10:57,745 --> 00:11:00,545
but but now I now I do know. So that that's helpful. Here's my point.
177
00:11:00,545 --> 00:11:02,865
Yeah. One one of the things I take away here is that if if there's
178
00:11:02,865 --> 00:11:06,620
an entrepreneur that's listening and they are an entrepreneur and
179
00:11:06,620 --> 00:11:09,580
they're doing something in the bricks and mortar space, let's just say, or they're they're
180
00:11:09,580 --> 00:11:13,260
a personal trainer, and you wanna become a software company or you
181
00:11:13,260 --> 00:11:17,020
wanna build a software, just realize that the software is always
182
00:11:17,020 --> 00:11:20,115
wet. It's never done. Okay? It's a continuous,
183
00:11:20,735 --> 00:11:24,575
you know, shell of of different codes that's coming in and out of it,
184
00:11:24,575 --> 00:11:28,415
and it's not something that launches on its own. And I don't think people
185
00:11:28,415 --> 00:11:32,110
fully appreciate what needs to go into building and maintaining and
186
00:11:32,110 --> 00:11:35,790
then upgrading and and a new version release of of any kind of
187
00:11:35,790 --> 00:11:39,310
software. Yeah. And and so that was eight years ago. Just let's think
188
00:11:39,310 --> 00:11:42,590
about 2036 and
189
00:11:43,605 --> 00:11:47,125
yeah. Because the software always iterates. One thing I'm really, really excited
190
00:11:47,125 --> 00:11:50,885
about now is are have you have you, are you
191
00:11:50,885 --> 00:11:54,725
familiar with the guys at Rook or worked with them? Rogue? Or
192
00:11:54,725 --> 00:11:57,625
know them? Rook, r o o k. No.
193
00:11:58,389 --> 00:12:01,529
Okay. So if you have an app and
194
00:12:02,310 --> 00:12:05,670
whatever app it is and you want all the
195
00:12:05,670 --> 00:12:09,350
information from any of your wearables, your Ora, your Whoop, your Garmin,
196
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:13,105
your you name it. If you want that integrated into your app, you
197
00:12:13,105 --> 00:12:16,085
work with Rook. They have an SDK that that allows that to happen.
198
00:12:16,465 --> 00:12:20,085
So if you ask me in 2016,
199
00:12:20,785 --> 00:12:24,465
hey, do you think you'll be in a place where you're capturing everyone's movement, but
200
00:12:24,465 --> 00:12:28,170
you're also bringing in all of their, you know, HRV data
201
00:12:28,170 --> 00:12:31,850
and sleep and ox you know, resting
202
00:12:31,850 --> 00:12:35,610
heart rate and all this. So, what I mean, what are
203
00:12:35,610 --> 00:12:38,730
your thoughts? I'm like, I don't even know what the hell whooper or anything was
204
00:12:38,730 --> 00:12:42,485
eight years ago. I don't see I mean, it's just it wasn't popular. So Do
205
00:12:42,485 --> 00:12:46,245
you do you feel like you're in the position as, like, you're gonna be
206
00:12:46,245 --> 00:12:49,385
the interface and everyone's gonna link into your
207
00:12:50,325 --> 00:12:54,089
you you as, like, the as the the central app? And the reason
208
00:12:54,089 --> 00:12:57,870
why I asked that, I guess it's a two two part question. One,
209
00:12:58,010 --> 00:13:01,529
do you think that people are gonna do that? Two, there's not a software
210
00:13:01,529 --> 00:13:05,150
company or database company or AI company or a company
211
00:13:05,529 --> 00:13:09,125
that doesn't tell me, oh, I own I own the data. You know?
212
00:13:09,125 --> 00:13:12,605
I'm like the central depository. I'm like the the
213
00:13:12,605 --> 00:13:16,445
brain or the brain storage system. Those are my
214
00:13:16,445 --> 00:13:20,125
two questions. Second one's kind of a question. I don't know what the question mark
215
00:13:20,125 --> 00:13:23,620
where I put it, but you know what I'm saying. There are two questions in
216
00:13:23,620 --> 00:13:27,460
there? Yeah. Don't No. We don't layered it on. I don't think any of us
217
00:13:27,460 --> 00:13:30,040
own any of our data. No. Technically, I mean,
218
00:13:31,780 --> 00:13:35,584
what we're trying to do is in terms
219
00:13:35,584 --> 00:13:39,264
of data, yeah, the customer always owns the data and anytime, you know,
220
00:13:39,264 --> 00:13:42,944
obviously, in the policy, if they want our their deleted data to be deleted
221
00:13:42,944 --> 00:13:46,305
from our database, you know, let us know, and we we we delete it. But
222
00:13:46,305 --> 00:13:50,144
we are excited about being able to aggregate, you know, deidentify, aggregate, all that
223
00:13:50,144 --> 00:13:53,960
stuff, and come up with some pretty pretty cool insights. What what I do
224
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,900
what I really like about,
225
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,280
on on the wearable side is, look, I'm getting I'm getting
226
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,055
a recovery score from my Whoop, and that's based on how I, you know,
227
00:14:06,055 --> 00:14:09,335
primarily how I slept and my stress level and all that stuff. Right? And then
228
00:14:09,335 --> 00:14:12,855
I get a big message from WHOOP saying, dude, you should just go
229
00:14:13,015 --> 00:14:16,455
peak day to day, go crush it, or you shouldn't even get out of bed.
230
00:14:16,455 --> 00:14:19,975
It's a you're a disaster. Something along those lines.
231
00:14:19,975 --> 00:14:23,720
Well, I've gotten awesome this
232
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,480
awesome sleep scores, HRV, all that stuff, great recovery, and it says you're
233
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,240
you're ready to go. Well, the the story I like to
234
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,520
give is when I did this long hike and I got a 97 on my
235
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,824
week because I slept well and I was relaxed and all that stuff. And Yep.
236
00:14:37,904 --> 00:14:41,505
It wasn't yeah. But yeah. But I have a torn meniscus, so I couldn't
237
00:14:41,505 --> 00:14:45,185
walk. So I was getting a I was getting a 34 on ours from a
238
00:14:45,185 --> 00:14:48,944
biomechanic, but my biometric kind of physiological data was
239
00:14:48,944 --> 00:14:52,200
good. So what is my true readiness? And so,
240
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,680
I don't know because you need to look at both. You need to look at
241
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,280
how you're moving that day and all the others. And so that's what we're aiming
242
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,120
to do is we wanna be the biomechanical piece. Let's integrate some of the
243
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,305
others and not tell you what your true recovery is. I don't know if that
244
00:15:07,305 --> 00:15:10,825
answered your question at all. I just got to like, when you like to if
245
00:15:10,825 --> 00:15:13,805
I'm if I'm on your system on the b to c side,
246
00:15:14,585 --> 00:15:18,105
I'm logged in and and all of my other apps, you you are gonna be
247
00:15:18,105 --> 00:15:20,525
linked up into my Fizzmodo app?
248
00:15:22,649 --> 00:15:25,850
If you any wearable that you would have, and I don't know when you you're
249
00:15:25,850 --> 00:15:29,290
going to to post this. This is probably gonna be It'll be a couple of
250
00:15:29,290 --> 00:15:32,990
months from now. So feel free to Okay. Tell what you what it looks like.
251
00:15:35,225 --> 00:15:38,824
Yeah. Yeah. So, for onboarding, you you'll have the
252
00:15:38,824 --> 00:15:42,345
option, if you'd like, to integrate any of your
253
00:15:42,345 --> 00:15:46,185
wearable data from your Garmin or Aura or Whoop. You don't have to. But
254
00:15:46,185 --> 00:15:49,850
if you do, we're gonna be able to say, okay. That's the score you have
255
00:15:49,850 --> 00:15:53,230
there, but now we're also gonna look at the movement score you have from Fizzmodo.
256
00:15:53,290 --> 00:15:56,910
And then let's try and work to see what where's your true readiness today.
257
00:15:57,210 --> 00:16:00,730
Got it. And how often would I need to or would I want to
258
00:16:00,970 --> 00:16:04,505
or should I update my Fizzmodo score on my
259
00:16:04,505 --> 00:16:08,105
human movement? Yeah.
260
00:16:08,105 --> 00:16:11,785
So but we think you we we'd like for you to measure as as
261
00:16:11,785 --> 00:16:15,305
often as possible. And so but certainly, at least, I'd say once a
262
00:16:15,305 --> 00:16:18,980
week. The problem, I think, there there's a lot of really good
263
00:16:18,980 --> 00:16:22,660
movement stuff out there. I mean, movement technology is is is awesome. It
264
00:16:22,660 --> 00:16:25,800
just takes too long in many cases. And people,
265
00:16:26,420 --> 00:16:30,155
you know, don't you don't have even five minutes to do a to a do
266
00:16:30,155 --> 00:16:33,515
a movement assessment, you know, more than every two, three, four
267
00:16:33,515 --> 00:16:37,195
weeks. So thirty seconds, we want you to do it quickly because there's too
268
00:16:37,195 --> 00:16:40,735
many variables into affecting how you move.
269
00:16:41,675 --> 00:16:45,520
Have you been driving all damn day? Have you, had a huge
270
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,960
workout the day before? Imagine if you actually just got your HR
271
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,480
V once a month or once every few months. It's not really
272
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,080
valuable information. How often how much does it cost for me to as a
273
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,365
consumer to go on the app? It's,
274
00:16:59,905 --> 00:17:03,205
$8.99 a month or
275
00:17:03,425 --> 00:17:07,185
89 for the year. And but we're
276
00:17:07,185 --> 00:17:11,025
we're having when people come on the app, we're not going we're not
277
00:17:11,025 --> 00:17:14,510
saying, hey, Pete. Before you can do anything, I want
278
00:17:15,450 --> 00:17:19,050
your first name, last name, date of birth, name of your first
279
00:17:19,050 --> 00:17:22,810
born, all that stuff. We're just having people come on the app
280
00:17:22,810 --> 00:17:26,588
and then do do the screen. And if you like
281
00:17:26,588 --> 00:17:30,161
it, then you can give us some information. And if you don't wanna give us
282
00:17:30,161 --> 00:17:33,735
any information, that's okay. Just give me your first name. But, you know, give me
283
00:17:33,735 --> 00:17:37,309
what sport you play, what's your date of birth so we can give you scores
284
00:17:37,309 --> 00:17:40,910
not compared globally to everybody, but compared to your age group, compared to your demographic,
285
00:17:41,050 --> 00:17:44,750
compared to other baseball players. So,
286
00:17:44,890 --> 00:17:48,410
hopefully, a lot of decent rich information. And we just want people to to to
287
00:17:48,410 --> 00:17:51,450
try it out and, you know, try to scream as much as you want. If
288
00:17:51,450 --> 00:17:54,410
you don't if you don't wanna move forward, then that's okay. Then we've done something
289
00:17:54,410 --> 00:17:57,965
wrong. If you're the orthopedic group and they got 24,000 kids,
290
00:17:58,184 --> 00:18:02,024
and they're trying to, like, actively monitor those kids,
291
00:18:02,264 --> 00:18:05,644
on in that case, you would you would charge them an enterprise
292
00:18:05,705 --> 00:18:08,830
license fee? Yes. Correct.
293
00:18:09,690 --> 00:18:13,450
If you're if you're kind of their if you're,
294
00:18:13,450 --> 00:18:15,790
like, their, you know, remote monitoring
295
00:18:17,050 --> 00:18:20,730
halo, you know, enabler, what
296
00:18:20,730 --> 00:18:24,155
else could you be testing down the road through your technology?
297
00:18:25,015 --> 00:18:28,475
Or what else would what else would people wanna test? Is there anything
298
00:18:29,175 --> 00:18:32,935
Yeah. You could do? It's it's it's well, it's it's related to, I
299
00:18:32,935 --> 00:18:36,710
think, the question we get a lot, you know, can can you, you know, you
300
00:18:36,710 --> 00:18:40,390
know, do other movements? Well, the answer is yes, but we're we're not going
301
00:18:40,390 --> 00:18:43,930
to. So so two things. Number one,
302
00:18:44,070 --> 00:18:47,830
there are movement assessments that do multiple screens. And so some may say
303
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:51,610
we've heard before, I'd love to get shoulder rotation. Well, we don't do shoulder rotation.
304
00:18:51,955 --> 00:18:55,395
But I think that some of these companies that maybe
305
00:18:55,395 --> 00:18:59,075
can be perceived as competitors, and then maybe they are, I
306
00:18:59,075 --> 00:19:02,595
guess, but we could be working together with a lot of these companies. So for
307
00:19:02,595 --> 00:19:06,370
instance, if you are getting a great score on Fizmodo every single time, you know,
308
00:19:06,370 --> 00:19:10,070
good for you. You're probably doing just fine. If you get a really bad Fizmodo
309
00:19:10,130 --> 00:19:13,830
score, maybe you do wanna do something a little more comprehensively.
310
00:19:14,290 --> 00:19:17,730
So let me introduce you to this company that does five or
311
00:19:17,730 --> 00:19:21,455
six assessments. You gotta spend a little more time, but
312
00:19:21,455 --> 00:19:25,215
we see us as, okay, we're now seeing your score is
313
00:19:25,215 --> 00:19:28,835
either low or your score is low compared to your baseline. Let's investigate
314
00:19:28,975 --> 00:19:32,810
further. So, no, I don't plan to do other movements, but where we
315
00:19:32,810 --> 00:19:36,410
are going to be helpful is just from our own movement is there are a
316
00:19:36,410 --> 00:19:40,170
lot of insights. So one example, people like to get a
317
00:19:40,170 --> 00:19:44,010
better score, so they squat deeper. Well, what happens then is they
318
00:19:44,010 --> 00:19:47,645
lean further forward in order to get that deeper depth. So
319
00:19:47,645 --> 00:19:51,085
that cancels each other out. Now why does that happen? A lot of times, it's
320
00:19:51,085 --> 00:19:54,925
because their dorsiflexion sucks. So I use that as
321
00:19:54,925 --> 00:19:58,145
an example because we're getting all these insights about why it's happening,
322
00:19:59,005 --> 00:20:00,225
just from one movement.
323
00:20:03,870 --> 00:20:07,490
This is Pete Moore. Here's the last tip for you of the podcast.
324
00:20:08,029 --> 00:20:11,870
We are partnered up with a company called Higher Dose, higher dose
325
00:20:11,870 --> 00:20:15,169
dot com. They are the leader in workout
326
00:20:15,230 --> 00:20:18,945
recovery products, infrared technology, LED
327
00:20:18,945 --> 00:20:22,465
light masks, neck enhancers, and other
328
00:20:22,465 --> 00:20:26,245
products such as PEMF mats and sauna blankets.
329
00:20:26,705 --> 00:20:30,225
If you have not gotten on the workout recovery train
330
00:20:30,225 --> 00:20:34,060
yet, your time and your stop is now. You gotta
331
00:20:34,060 --> 00:20:37,740
get these products in there before these workout recovery and spas end
332
00:20:37,740 --> 00:20:41,500
up saturating your market, having your members walk out of the club and
333
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:45,025
going into one of their locations for $200 per
334
00:20:45,025 --> 00:20:48,865
month, where they're paying 39 to you, let's become an expert
335
00:20:48,865 --> 00:20:52,645
in workout recovery if we are already an authority in workouts.
336
00:20:53,425 --> 00:20:56,965
Higher dose, check it out, is a wholesale code,
337
00:20:57,380 --> 00:21:01,220
and we look forward to helping you augment your products and
338
00:21:01,220 --> 00:21:04,840
services to meet the demands of your members. And, hey,
339
00:21:04,980 --> 00:21:08,340
let's get people happy, healthy, and sweating, and the
340
00:21:08,340 --> 00:21:10,760
recovery should be just as good as the workout.
341
00:21:14,235 --> 00:21:17,135
This is a random question. Is there any,
342
00:21:18,715 --> 00:21:22,335
any assessment or any job requirement
343
00:21:22,875 --> 00:21:25,455
that you would be
344
00:21:26,730 --> 00:21:30,490
required to or asked to do this study and then
345
00:21:30,490 --> 00:21:34,090
send in your results as like a like, you have to get a certain amount
346
00:21:34,090 --> 00:21:37,610
of, points maybe on your ACT. We might have to have a
347
00:21:37,610 --> 00:21:41,325
certain grade point average to get into a college or what have you,
348
00:21:41,325 --> 00:21:45,085
let's just say. If I'm gonna go and and sign up and
349
00:21:45,085 --> 00:21:48,925
try to become a firefighter, right, if my Fizmodo scores
350
00:21:48,925 --> 00:21:52,445
below x, like, I'm probably not gonna gonna make it. Is
351
00:21:52,445 --> 00:21:55,210
there, is it guys that do,
352
00:21:56,389 --> 00:21:59,990
you know, any kind of, like if I worked at the post office, you know,
353
00:21:59,990 --> 00:22:03,590
and I wanted to be, like, a, you know, mail delivery. You know, I'm I'm
354
00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:06,149
doing a lot of walking or I I don't know. I'm just trying to think.
355
00:22:06,149 --> 00:22:09,955
Is there any, like, job application or job screening that has to do
356
00:22:09,955 --> 00:22:13,335
with this as, like, a mandatory part of, like,
357
00:22:13,635 --> 00:22:17,095
the evaluation amount or, like, something you have to do before you
358
00:22:17,154 --> 00:22:20,914
apply? I'm just asking. So no. I it's I
359
00:22:20,914 --> 00:22:24,600
I love that. I I love that question because there's two things. So
360
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,340
we've we've worked, with special ops,
361
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,040
and these are people that are already, in in the military. But, yes, at a
362
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,585
recruiting station, absolutely, we should be there
363
00:22:37,585 --> 00:22:41,184
because people are doing other tests to see if they're qualified. Well, if someone
364
00:22:41,184 --> 00:22:45,024
is fast, strong, powerful, smart, you name it, a lot of good things,
365
00:22:45,024 --> 00:22:48,625
but they can't move, probably not qualified. And you can hide
366
00:22:48,625 --> 00:22:51,205
injuries, you know,
367
00:22:52,430 --> 00:22:55,970
pretty easily, but you if you move poorly, it's tough to hide.
368
00:22:56,910 --> 00:23:00,210
That said, it's it's a it's a challenging market, one not
369
00:23:00,590 --> 00:23:04,430
really. I'm gonna spend a lot of time and time and money going after.
370
00:23:04,430 --> 00:23:08,185
But on the workers' comp side, and we're starting to
371
00:23:08,185 --> 00:23:10,825
dabble in this a little bit with partners because there's no way in hell I
372
00:23:10,825 --> 00:23:14,665
go try and do this myself. But, yeah, I don't think like,
373
00:23:14,665 --> 00:23:18,205
if you wanna go be a warehouse worker at at Amazon,
374
00:23:18,665 --> 00:23:22,320
then you have to yeah. I mean, theoretically, you
375
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,159
should be able to squad at least 75
376
00:23:26,159 --> 00:23:29,919
degrees to be able to to do that. Whether they could make you
377
00:23:29,919 --> 00:23:32,879
do that assessment and you have to do that without which they wouldn't give you
378
00:23:32,879 --> 00:23:36,675
a job, there's probably some legal issues there. However I don't know. Maybe. I think
379
00:23:36,675 --> 00:23:39,815
there's a there's a lot of scenarios where you're saying, alright. So, Pete,
380
00:23:40,275 --> 00:23:43,875
you average an 82. Alright. So then you end up
381
00:23:43,875 --> 00:23:47,155
getting Hold on a second. Is that good? Because I don't like being used as,
382
00:23:47,155 --> 00:23:49,860
like, a guinea pig unless I get a Oh, you know what? That's actually really
383
00:23:49,860 --> 00:23:53,620
good. No one gets an 82. $50. I don't know why I went don't edit
384
00:23:53,620 --> 00:23:57,139
this. K. You're an 82. You're you you are the
385
00:23:57,139 --> 00:24:00,820
specimen. We we know you are. Well, I'm just saying. So let's just say you
386
00:24:00,820 --> 00:24:04,355
go and hurt yourself, you know, in in the warehouse. Unlikely
387
00:24:04,495 --> 00:24:07,935
because, you know Well, I think we got me too, bro. I didn't respond to
388
00:24:07,935 --> 00:24:11,695
that. I don't know. That's just I I I screwed
389
00:24:11,695 --> 00:24:14,815
this up. Can we can we just let's just start the whole podcast over. I
390
00:24:14,815 --> 00:24:18,360
think we should use someone else who's not in this is elite physical
391
00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:21,900
condition as a as a medical That's a good point. It's unlikely
392
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:26,120
it's unlikely that we're gonna find anyone that would meet the bill here.
393
00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:28,440
So let's just keep talking about me. Let's
394
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,420
whatever your score may be, let's say by some freak
395
00:24:34,145 --> 00:24:37,605
chain of events, you hurt something. Right? Yeah.
396
00:24:37,745 --> 00:24:40,725
And you go get myself. Yourself.
397
00:24:41,184 --> 00:24:45,024
Yourself. Yeah. You wouldn't know. You're you're a nonviolent human.
398
00:24:45,024 --> 00:24:48,490
Alright. So then you go get your surgery or you
399
00:24:48,490 --> 00:24:52,169
rehab or whatever it may be. So we know
400
00:24:52,169 --> 00:24:55,929
how you move. We know you're an 82 at baseline. You come out
401
00:24:55,929 --> 00:24:59,529
of surgery, you're gonna be a lot lower. So now we're like, okay,
402
00:24:59,529 --> 00:25:03,345
Pete. We're gonna bring you back to the job, not
403
00:25:03,345 --> 00:25:07,105
in three weeks or three months or six months. We
404
00:25:07,105 --> 00:25:10,865
need to get you back to where you're moving like you were prior. We need
405
00:25:10,865 --> 00:25:14,165
to get you back to that 82. That's where I see
406
00:25:15,169 --> 00:25:18,230
a ton of value with this. Now, there's
407
00:25:18,850 --> 00:25:22,129
what we no one's no one's come up to me and said, man, you are
408
00:25:22,129 --> 00:25:25,890
a freaking genius. Doing a movement assessment, that's I
409
00:25:25,890 --> 00:25:29,575
never heard of that. Well, yeah. There's a lot of I
410
00:25:29,575 --> 00:25:33,335
think I think there's a lot of realization that a lot of people get injured
411
00:25:33,335 --> 00:25:36,615
and there's a lot we can do about it. It's just how do you scale
412
00:25:36,615 --> 00:25:40,215
it? So, yeah, what you're suggesting would be great
413
00:25:40,215 --> 00:25:42,920
if if if you could do it on a scalable way. And we could do
414
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,320
health companies that we're working with right now that may be interesting to do
415
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,840
assessments with. I'll I'll follow-up with you on that separately. I think
416
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,600
that that yeah. This is this is we're getting
417
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,370
some inquiries in there. And like I said, I I partners like
418
00:25:58,370 --> 00:26:01,757
you or whomever else, great. It's just not our
419
00:26:02,133 --> 00:26:05,896
it's not it's a very, very valuable market that,
420
00:26:05,896 --> 00:26:09,660
as you know, costs a lot, and we have other,
421
00:26:09,820 --> 00:26:13,180
you know, markets that are large and easier to get to and, you know Yep.
422
00:26:13,340 --> 00:26:17,100
But but this is this is exciting. Great. Alright. Well, thanks for coming back
423
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:20,880
on, giving us an update. I think the the important part here,
424
00:26:21,020 --> 00:26:24,640
takeaways for investors and for
425
00:26:25,365 --> 00:26:29,125
entrepreneurs that, you know, you you honed in on, hey. This is a
426
00:26:29,125 --> 00:26:32,645
great way to be a part of the, the assessment and the
427
00:26:32,645 --> 00:26:36,165
personal training evaluation inside of a club. Now the
428
00:26:36,165 --> 00:26:39,940
question is, who else has pressure points and pains that
429
00:26:39,940 --> 00:26:43,540
I can be a solution for? So if I've got 24,000 youth
430
00:26:43,540 --> 00:26:47,300
sports kids that I wanna connect to, who has that who has
431
00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:50,280
that frustration? And let me modify my software
432
00:26:51,220 --> 00:26:54,315
to be the nexus between that information
433
00:26:54,935 --> 00:26:58,775
and people that could do the great change, maybe avoid
434
00:26:58,775 --> 00:27:02,295
people from playing, optimize them before they play, or at least
435
00:27:02,295 --> 00:27:06,055
monitor people along the way. So congrats on that. And,
436
00:27:06,695 --> 00:27:09,470
you'll get us all the information so we can put up the links and, you
437
00:27:09,470 --> 00:27:12,370
know, figure out where the b to b to c, I think, is to play
438
00:27:12,590 --> 00:27:16,430
if you ask my humble opinion. But you didn't, but it's free because
439
00:27:16,430 --> 00:27:19,470
my show, so I'm giving it to you. I think the b to b to
440
00:27:19,470 --> 00:27:23,054
c of these, like, orthopedic organizations or big networks
441
00:27:23,434 --> 00:27:26,655
that are covering populations or, like, pickleball,
442
00:27:27,755 --> 00:27:31,455
associations coupled with, like, the doctors that are gonna inevitably,
443
00:27:32,155 --> 00:27:35,595
you know, repair those injuries. Like, those are those are the opportunities.
444
00:27:35,595 --> 00:27:39,390
So thanks for coming on. Good to see you. Go halo bro. Yeah. All right.
445
00:27:39,390 --> 00:27:40,690
Thanks, Pete. Thanks.
