Form the street "to" the South Hall"
Hi
I think I understand the meaning but I can't help but wonder, why "to" not "on" or "of"?
What is the differences? Would you expalin that?
From the street to the South Hall, Fitness Anywhere was showing you how you can train anywhere with the TRX.
Thank you,

from pairs with to.
from indicates the origin of motion, or the beginning of a range in space or time.
to indicates the destination of motion, or the end of a range in space or time.

Oh, that's how I should read it.
I thought it's like, From the street of/on the South Hall, we are tring to transmit our business concept, you can train anywhere with the TRX.
totally wrong :0

mad at me?0
When you mentioned "of/on" I suspected you read both points as describing a single location - the origin of your "transmission."
From the center of the town; from the sidewalk on the bridge.
I couldn't think of a quick way to explain the difference.
