By Healthy Living, Products
You probably offer a wide range of quality programming to serve the needs of your members. But today’s socially conscious members and fitness enthusiasts demand an inspiring experience that goes above and beyond to match their values and lifestyle. That’s where SportsArt comes in. We share similar values, and can give you an edge when it comes to attracting and retaining consumers.  By simply incorporating innovative ECO-POWR™ energy-generating cardio equipment into your programming, you can create a unique experience that seamlessly integrates social responsibility into popular and familiar programs.  Interval Training is a Great Place to Start Interval training has become, and remains, a favorite workout regimen for many people for many reasons. The benefits of briefly pushing your body, then letting it recover, then pushing it again are well known. Research has shown that interval training helps improve cardiovascular and respiratory health, reduce fat and control glucose. Studies have even shown that this type of training could have additional benefits for older adults, namely reversing signs of aging within cells. The brevity of interval training is also an appealing aspect. Instead of investing hours and hours into long workouts, results can be seen through much shorter workout increments, making interval training appealing for today’s busy lifestyles. And, even within interval training programs, there’s no rigid requirements. Programs can be as flexible as needed to meet the needs of groups and individuals. So how can you make interval training even more attractive, engaging and inspiring? Match Your Equipment to Member Values SportsArt…

The Rise Of Sustainable Fitness

By Uncategorized
The word sustainability gets thrown around quite a bit and it can mean different things to different people especially when it relates to fitness. Webster defines sustainability as:   Sustainable Fitness So how does that apply to the fitness industry? Gym goers, owners, and operators alike are developing a deeper appreciation for the importance of mindfulness, wellness, and sustainability as it relates to fitness. With the number 1 wellness trend for 2018 being planetary healing, the time to combine people, planet, and profits in your gym could not be better. With cycling, HIIT, group training and more options growing everyday consumers are navigating where to establish their membership. Gyms that embrace sustainable fitness provide consumers the opportunity to flex their purchasing power to choose environmentally-friendly gyms and seek out facilities that mirror their wellness lifestyles and mindsets.
