This was great to hear from how other gyms are addressing this trend, that is here to stay. It validated all the changes we have made post COVID to be a better gym for our community. We have removed childcare and turned that space into a CORE room where we now offer Barre classes as well as a private place to stretch or cool down.
We added rubber flooring to another area along with an additional squat rack and a full set of dumbbells and benches that is more of a semiprivate studio for trainers or members. Loved this episode.
