Nothing in a health club takes more of a beating than the floors. Cheaply made flooring surfaces will start showing wear and tear quickly, which greatly lowers the visual appeal of your facility.
sofSURFACES manufactures multiple flooring surfaces that enhance the workout experience and deliver high durability. Below, Anthony Colangelo, the owner of Pure Fitness Canada Inc., describes his experience with sofSURFACES and why it’s a smart, sustainable choice for gym owners.
Why did you decide to work with sofSURFACES? How do they stand out compared with other flooring manufacturers?
AC: I’ve been in the business 32 years. I’ve built eight fitness clubs, I’ve toured and/or worked out at 100 other fitness clubs, and I’ve only ever been impressed with those who installed sofSURFACES flooring. Visually, it looked the best. Then, after a visit to the IHRSA trade show and comparing all products, I saw it was the best choice for performance.
What do you like about sofSURFACES’ flooring products? Are they good quality?
AC: I really like the look, performance, acoustic control and price value of sofSURFACES. In addition, the customer service is a satisfying experience.
When purchasing a floor or deciding what partner to work with, what do you consider?
AC: The priorities were acoustic control, minimizing sound transfer and performance in longevity.
Are there any trends in flooring you’re seeing right now?
AC: I only ever work with the best wood, porcelain and rubber floorings.
Why should other club operators consider working with sofSURFACES?
AC: If you want to represent a place that provides a better experience for your members and justify a slightly higher monthly price point than the normal, you want to work with the best products in the industry.
