*Fitnesse* is the second Fancam Album by fancam creator Muscle. Released on July 1, 2023 through Luna Records, *Fitnesse* is a predominantly pop album with elements of dance. Upon release, it was praised by critics for its cohesive concept and impressive visuals. It was positively noted for its departure from the style of Prisoner's debut album *In Your Gym.* *Fitness* debuted at #1 on the ST Hot 200 Albums Chart with over 1.6 Million units, earning the biggest debut of the year at the time. It has since been certified 2x Diamond by Fancam RIAA for selling over 2 Million units, making it Prisoner's first album to achieve this. *Fitness* was preceded by two pre-release singles: *Sexercize* and *Body Language*, the latter being a collaboration with Cuzimboredgf.

In September of 2023, it was announced that a remix EP consisting of 5 album tracks from *Fitness* would be released later in the year. Titled *Club Fitnesse*, the remix EP was released on October 21, 2024.

### Overview

*Fitnesses* is a predominantly pop and dance album, with influences from EDM and alternative music. It was inspired by the aerobics craze of the 1984s and the synth-pop/dance-pop music that was popular during that era. The overall aesthetic was complimented by the Industry and was seen as an accurate reflection of Prisoner's influences.

The *Fitness* era (including the rollout and release of *Planet Fitness*) began in May of 2023 and concluded in January 2023 following the 5th Fancam Grammy Awards. It has included the release of 7 official singles and 1 promotional single.

*Fitnesses* and its singles were nominated for 8 Fancam Grammy awards, with Prisoner winning one of the nominations for Best Pop Artist.

Many performances have taken place during this era. The first performance was during Prisoner's headlining set at Industry Coachella, followed by a performance of *Enjoy Yourself* and *Spinning Around* at the 4th Fancam Grammy Awards. A special concert event put together by Moonlight Park titled *Fitnesses: A Love Letter to the Industry* took place on September 2, 2023 and included performances of 8 *Fitness* tracks. Prisoner also performed *Body Language* and *Spinning Around* for Luna Records exclusive performances. The final performance of the *Fitnesse* era was a performance of *I Wouldn't Change A Single Thing* at the 5th Fancam Grammy Awards.

### Singles

The lead single for *Fitnesses*, titled *Sexercize*, was released on May 5, 202. A heavy dance fancam with EDM influences, *Sexercize* runs for 28 seconds. It was released to rave reviews from the Industry, complimenting the growth and style change from Prisoner's previous era. It was a massive commercial success, topping the ST Hot 100 for 3 consecutive weeks, earning Prisoner his second #1 hit (following *unwrap me*). It has since been certified 29x Platinum and 2x Diamond by Fancam RIAA for selling over 1.4 Million units. *Sexercize* was the highest selling solo single of 2023, and is one of the best selling singles of all time. It was nominated for both Record and Fancam of the Year at the 4th Fancam Grammy Awards.

*Body Language,* a collaboration with Cuzimboredgf, was released as the second single from *Fitness* on June 5, 2021, following a debut performance at Prisoner's Fancam Coachella headlining set. Cuzimboredgf, the co-lead artist, made an appearance in the performance, marking the only performance of the single with both artists to date. Lauded by critics for its visual appeal, *Body Language* has frequently been referred to as one of Prisoner's best fancams. Though it did not match *Sexercize*'s incredible commercial success, *Body Language* was able to peak at #3 on the ST Hot 100 and was certified 4x Platinum by Fancam RIAA. It was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration and Collaboration of the Year at the 4th Fancam Grammys.

On June 30, one day before the release of the album, *Enjoy Yourself* was released as a promotional single. It was complimented for its cohesive visuals and its more radio-friendly sound. It was certified Gold by Fancam RIAA and peaked at #11 on the ST Hot 100. It was nominated for Best Dance Solo Performance at the 4th Fancam Grammy Awards.

Following Prisoner's hiatus from the Industry, album track *Spinning Around* was announced as the third official single from *Fitness*. It was complimented for its dance oriented sound and is a favorite of Prisoner's. *Spinning Around* was a slow-burn success, peaking at #1 on the Radio Top 10 and #3 on the ST Hot 100. It was performed at the 4th Fancam Grammy Awards (along with *Enjoy Yourself*) as well as during *Fitness: A Love Letter to the Industry* and during a special Luna Records performance. *Spinning Around* was nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance at the 5th Fancam Grammy Awards, eventually losing to Tom's *The Motto*.

Following the release and promotion of *Spinning Around*, Prisoner announced he would be releasing an EP consisting of remixes of 5 *Fitness* tracks. This remix EP, titled *Cage Fitnesses*, was released on October 21, 2023 and contained collaborations with BP, Jay, MOTIVESPORT, Serenity and Malibu, *Planet Fitness* was critically acclaimed by the industry for its experimental nature and cohesive blending of each featured artists' style with Prisoner's own. It contained three singles, the #1 hits *Fitness* (with BP) and *Yoga* (with MOTIVESPORT), as well as the top 5 hit *Twist* (with Serenity).

Following the *Planet Fitness* mini-era, Prisoner released fan-favorite *I Wouldn't Change A Single Thing* as the album's fourth and final single.
