Harnessing the Rise in Strength Training for your Gym: Opti-Fit Fitness Solutions’ Approach

Strength training is experiencing an unprecedented surge in popularity, with fitness center check-ins increasing by over 90% since pre-pandemic times. This rise signifies a growing awareness of the benefits of strength and active mobility. Despite this national trend, traditional clubs in California have seen a 30% decrease in check-ins, often due to a lack of premium-grade strength equipment, areas that incorporate functional strength training, and highly educated fitness coaches. At Opti-Fit Fitness Solutions, we recognize the importance of Implementing the science of strength infused spaces that are designed to be programmed. Here’s how our team of designers, exercise physiologists, and industry veterans can help you find the right commercial strength training equipment to bring your vision to life and help your fitness center harness this education and ensure success.
