As the weather gets warmer, it's not uncommon to see dwindling gym memberships as people take their fitness outdoors. Adding the latest fitness equipment to your facility can be one way to keep your members at the gym this summer. Check out these trendy pieces of fitness equipment that will give your gym a leg up.
Meet Stuart Thilmany and Daisy of Keep The Beat Wellness in Northbrook, IL.
Let's face it: while group exercise has many benefits such as allowing your facility to stand out in the crowd as well as serving as a revenue source, the reality is that it's hard to keep members engaged with it. It's one thing to attract new members to a fitness class but a whole other thing to keep them there. The solution is actually quite simple: switch it up.

The type of yoga mat you have can greatly affect your exercise experience. The days are gone when yoga mats were only available in two colors (purple and blue) and could only be made using basic polyester materials. A rise in the Yoga trend has caused many companies to trip over each other in the race to develop the best yoga mats in the field.
This year, our team at Zogics was in attendance once again at the annual IHRSA Tradeshow — arguably one of our favorite fitness industry events! We made new friends, learned a lot from the trainings, and enjoyed the great vibe and views of San Diego, CA!

There is nothing more important to your members than the experience they have in your locker rooms. You might have the most advanced fitness equipment in the world but if you have less than average locker rooms you are more likely to lose a lot of members since this is where they go either before or after their workout at your fitness facility. For this reason, you need to invest your resources...
Who doesn’t want something nice? Locker rooms contribute a lot to a facility’s general appeal. It means the difference between clients coming to your place versus going straight to other competitors. This is the place where your clients go to shower after a rigorous workout, freshen up and generally wind down before going back to their homes. They, therefore, need to feel comfortable and at eas...

A seemingly healthy person shouldn't fall to the ground from heart disease, yet every now and then, sudden cardiac arrest strikes a healthy individual with potentially fatal results. The Cleveland Clinic reports sudden cardiac death strikes between one in 100,000 athletes younger than 35 with most of these victims being male. One of the most famous deaths due to sudden cardiac arrest was Pete M...
