The SportsArt team was excited to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new ones, last week in San Diego. IHRSA 2023 was an incredible event as always, bringing together the latest ideas and innovations from across the industry. It was so great to see everyone coming out to support the fitness industry whether they were gym owners, vloggers, personal trainers or just individuals who wanted to see what it was all about. As you may have heard, we had our G660 Treadmill on hand, the only treadmill that can claim to be Carbon Negative.  What does that mean?  It means that, within a typical commercial gym setting, each G660 Treadmill generates enough clean electricity to not only offset its certified carbon footprint (independently verified by the British Standards Institution), then continues to return more energy to the grid. To see people stop by, hop on, try it out and then start asking questions was one of our favorite parts of the show! Get all the details on this industry first — and why it matters to you — here.  Stay tuned as we prepare to make an appearance at FIBO in Cologne, Germany, from April 13-16!

Once again, SportsArt was privileged to be a part of the latest Think Tank hosted by the International Council of Active Aging (ICAA). During this forum, industry leaders met to discuss tangible ways that organizations can work to shape and evolve their culture to fully commit to wellness-based senior care. While there has been a general cultural shift toward wellness, there has not been any tangible pathways or guidelines to assist organizations with ‘going all-in’ to serve the active aging population. Download the Think Tank Report and find ways your organization can ‘go all-in’ for wellness today. Download the Report Here at SportsArt, we were so excited to bring our unique perspective to this discussion and contribute to an actionable plan with the other forum colleagues during this Think Tank. From this discussion, ICAA was able to outline the outcome as a report that provides the steps that can help guide the following elements of an organization: culture, leadership team, belief systems, financial models and staffing models. We believe that when we move, we change the world. This is why we cannot wait to put these findings into practice within our own company culture in order to continue strengthening our own brand value, one that is rooted in the belief that serving others is more important than ourselves.

In this Inspiring Our Shared World video, we talk to David Penna, an Exercise Physiologist at Moving With Hope (MWH). MWH is a leading adaptive fitness, learning, and rehabilitation center based in Shelton, Connecticut providing essential rehab, exercise, and skills training to people living with physical disabilities. Whether it’s spinal cord injuries or brain injuries, they use activity-based rehabilitation to help individuals improve their quality of life. Their mission aligns with SportsArt’s commitment to improving performance—not just for elite athletes, but for everyone driven to live their best life. That’s why we were excited to partner with MWH, providing them with rehabilitation equipment including our ICARE. And we’re inspired by the results that David shares. What we also love about MWH is how they don’t just focus on the physical aspect of rehabilitation. They offer a virtual reality job training program that puts them in real-life situations and gives them the real-world skills necessary to re-enter the job market.

Download the Summary We were once again honored to be part of the latest Think Tank hosted by the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA). At this forum, the discussion centered around an emerging business model: Today’s innovative senior living organizations are moving toward a wellness lifestyle, with options for care. While this is ultimately a better and healthier choice for the active aging community, it poses challenges in terms of costs. Think Tank participants worked together to create actionable strategies for funding this new wellness model. This is a topic near and dear to the heart of SportsArt. Our focus has always been on serving the health and wellbeing of our users, our partners and our community. Being part of this forum enabled us to put our values to work in tangible ways by contributing ideas and insights that truly inspire performance for our shared world. Based on the wellness philosophy of a purposeful and engaged life for all residents, customers and staff members, SportsArt along with our forum colleagues identified 11 funding sources, 21 wellness metrics and five categories of Key Performance Indicators.
