For all the talk about the pandemic changing the way we people work out, brick-and-mortar fitness is back and better than ever. However, fitness facilities must navigate changing consumer preferences like the rise of strength and functional training, cardio’s supposed decline, the desire for more community and rising costs spurred by inflation.
As part of DISRUPT, Athletech News’ can’t-miss video series, industry leaders took a look at these trends and more, with an eye toward how gyms and studios can build modern spaces that attract the fitness consumers of today while also remaining nimble to upcoming trends.
Topics of discussion included facility design and layout, equipment selection, value-adds like recovery services, and how to incorporate tech within the four walls.
In case you missed any DISRUPT Gym of the Future videos, ATN is sharing them here for your viewing pleasure. Sit back, relax and enjoy the content!
