What is the significance of having the latest
technology trends for your gym or fitness center?

• Modernization of fitness facilities creates a
  safer environment and a more fulfilled experience
  for gym-goers.
• At least 40 of all businesses will die in the
  next 10 years if they dont figure out how to
  change their entire company to accommodate new
  technologies. John Chambers, Cisco

1 Digital Signage for Gym

• There are many things digital labels can do to
  modernize the experience of gym-goers, especially
  digital labels like SOLUMs Newton labels.
• Newton labels are available in 11.6 inches sizes
  and can accommodate up to 7 pages, making them
  good digital signage for fitness centers to
  replace paper posters. Instead of pinning the
  walls with different paper posters for schedules
  and announcements, gym owners could display those
  details using the 7-page feature of digital
  labels. Digital signage for gyms could show
  patrons the fitness instructors schedules, class
  schedules, event or new facility announcements,
  and promote membership discounts.

• Aside from providing gym-goers with a more modern
  and upscale experience of getting information,
  digital labels can also help fitness centers with
  customer retention by displaying testimonials of
  several satisfied long-time gym members.

2 Smart Gym Equipment

• One of the main reasons why people go to the gym
  is their need to access fitness equipment that
  are not available at their own homes. So why not
  provide them with cutting-edge equipment and not
  just meet their needs but go beyond their needs?
• Smart gym equipment like smart treadmills and
  smart stationary bikes offer various digital
  features that will surely amaze new and regular
  gym-goers. Such features include showing the
  users vital signs in real-time as they jog on
  the treadmill or pedal the bike, just like smart
  fitness watches do. Other features include
  Netflix-enabled screens and screens where the
  user can watch workout videos.

3 Online Classes

• Flexibility is part of being a modernized fitness
  center. Some gyms already showcase their
  flexibility by offering a few nighttime open
  hours while others shifted to full-on 24/7
  availability to cater to busy customers. And with
  the surge of the pandemic in 2020, some fitness
  centers even made their trainers and instructors
  available for online classes so members and
  trainers wouldnt have to go outside.
• Online classes or online coaching is one of the
  new fitness trends today that benefits both
  gym-goers and gym staff. With online classes, gym
  members can still continue the initial workout
  schedules with their coaches at the comfort of
  their own homes.

4 Virtual Reality

• Another way for gym owners to level up the game
  is by taking online classes up a notch and
  offering Virtual Reality (VR) coaching. Just like
  online classes, VR coaching allows gym
  instructors and members to interact without being
  physically together. 
• What separates VR from ordinary online classes,
  however, is the way VR fitness training can give
  a more dimensional experience, much like VR
  games. Fitness buffs would need to wear VR
  glasses and other VR accessories that will sync
  their real-life movements with their in-game
  movements, giving them a completely different and
  high-technology experience.

5 Client Mobile App

• Several fitness mobile applications to help
  fitness enthusiasts monitor their physical health
  and progress already do exist. Still, having a
  fitness mobile app specifically made for gym
  members and trainers can do a lot more for
  everyones convenience.

• Upscale gyms and fitness centers already have
  their own client mobile applications that
  function as a combined version of a fitness
  tracker and the gyms official website. With that
  kind of mobile app, gym members can adjust their
  workout schedules and trainers can update their
  availability with just a few taps on their
  phones. Moreover, like digital signage for gyms,
  having its own client mobile app allows a fitness
  center to notify users about promos, discounts,
  and announcements.
