The start of 2021 has many people in the commercial fitness industry wondering what comes next. Will gyms and facilities continue to operate safely in the New Year, or will we see another extended shutdown period? Our current state of affairs has us all guessing what’s next.
Most exercisers have been affected by gym closures. This has made way for most people having to develop new routines and find alternate ways to stay in shape. Many companies have done everything they can to streamline how they approach working out. One trend that has connected more people than ever is virtual fitness training. Trainers and gym staff are using apps like Zoom to stay connected to clients. The creation of social media groups has kept people connected when they cannot physically go to their workout facility.
Keeping your facility clean is now more critical than it’s ever been. Incorporating new cleaning procedures and protocols is an absolute must for all gyms. Holding exercisers accountable for cleaning equipment after being used and wearing masks is essential to staying safe. Adding new sanitizing products and options is something everyone in this industry must research and implement.
Many facilities have taken to redesigning their workout spaces and gym layouts to accommodate for social distancing. Adding new HVAC systems and air filtration systems seems like an extreme, but these are steps everyone needs to take to keep the industry alive and thriving. Reopening and keeping facilities running smoothly may seem like a daunting challenge, but it can be a simple process with a little help. Push Pedal Pull and its commercial team pride themselves on providing safe opinions and in-depth insights into helping you keep your doors open during these challenging times.
Time can only tell us what will happen. Staying ahead of trends and identifying what is happening is crucial to overcoming challenges and succeeding in this industry. The fitness industry will continue to change; as long as we proactively change with the times, exercisers will feel comfortable and safe using your facilities.
