By Articles, Featured Facilities, Products, Sustainability
Sustainability and eco fitness are topics that have been dominating conversations across every industry as of late.

The Tests our Treadmills Must Pass

By Company, Products
It’s every gyms owner’s dream: Find a space, buy some fitness equipment, create an amazing layout to optimize space and never have to give the equipment another thought. Sadly, this is rarely the fairy-tale story gym owners are accustom to. Inevitably, after a few worry-free days, in will walk the infamous 'bull in a china shop' user. Can your equipment handle that guy? SportsArt's equipment is built with these bull-like gym goers in mind. Take our treadmills for example. From design to production, our treadmills are put through the ringer with rigorous tests designed to break the average machine. These tests allow us to simulate the biggest, baddest users that "run" in your gym for hours on end and make sure that they can withstand the abuse time and time again. Some of the tests our treadmills must pass are: (more…)

Heat: The Treadmill’s Archnemesis

By Guides & Best Practices, Products
Think about the last time you walked into a fitness facility: You walk in, catch a glimpse of people taking some sweet selfies, and survey the floor to see which machines are in use and who’s on them in order to pick the perfect place to begin your workout.  On the cardio side of the gym, this normally includes trying to find a treadmill that hasn't been sandwiched between two other users. The best case scenario is an island of solidarity with no one on either side -- a true rarity, as treadmills are historically the most used pieces of equipment in a gym.
