How it happened

Beachbody built a home-fitness empire on programs like P90X and Insanity before pivoting to streaming workouts and connected bikes. It went public in June 2021 through a three-way SPAC merger with Forest Road Acquisition Corp and Myx Fitness that valued the combined company at about $2.9B.

As pandemic-era demand for at-home fitness faded and subscriber growth reversed, the stock collapsed more than 99%; in November 2023 the rebranded BODi executed a 1-for-50 reverse split to keep its NYSE listing.
