Julie Holt (Highly likely) says
I don’t think a robot is going to take my job but- I do think that yoga studios are going to close due to the massive online / app based yoga / fitness tools. Before, if you were curious, you went to a studio and tried it out. Now, if you’re curious about yoga, you find any one of the millions on online options and practice at home (likely doing it poorly or hurting yourself). Studios can’t pay their bills and will close. Yoga teachers need studios. Without a studio, my job is pretty tricky. Same goes for spin instructors being replaced by Peloton, personal trainers being replaced by Mirror, etc.

Yeah nah (No chance) says
Cause you don't only need to sell fitness, you also need to sell motivation and motivation coming from another human is probably more motivational then it coming from a robot.
