The Start-Up That Wants You to Ditch Your Gym Membership
Do you wish you could just pay for the gym on the days you use it instead of investing in a year-long or month-long membership? POPiN is a startup that enables users to pay for the gym only when they use it.
Dalton Han is the Co-founder and CEO of POPiN. The platform launched this past summer and partners with local gyms to bring in more consumers. Han says 70% of their consumers are millennials. That population has bought into the sharing economy the most.
Han does not view Soul Cycle as a competitor, he views the company as a future potential partner. He is looking to expand the reach of POPiN and the opportunities it provides.
Southwest Airlines will soon require plus-size travelers to pay for an extra seat in advance if they can't fit within the armrests of one seat. This change is part of several updates the airline is making. The new rule starts on Jan. 27, the same day Southwest begins assigning seats. Currently, plus-size passengers can pay for an extra seat in advance and later get a refund, or request a free extra seat at the airport. Under the new policy, refunds are still possible but not guaranteed. Southwest said in a statement it is updating policies to prepare for assigned seating next year.
