Since reopening the gym on July 6th, we’ve been so happy to see our existing members (pre-shutdown) and pleasantly surprised at the amount of new members walking through our doors.
I’ve been asked the question several times as to why we’ve seen such growth since re-opening. I believe there are a few main factors that have attributed to this along with the fact that more and more folks are learning about OPEX and what personalized fitness is.
1. Small/Private Gym
I believe there is a much higher level comfort nowadays with a smaller membership in a private training facility. Instead of subjecting yourself to thousands of members in a big box gym, you can join a smaller facility with a limited amount of members and know that each person there is respectful of one another. There is peace in knowing that.
2. Tired of the Home Workouts
I also believe after 3 1/2 months of gym closures, folks are getting bored of the same workouts from home. Home signifies: peace, comfort, food, love and family. It’s hard to rewire your brain and motivate yourself to work hard and sweat when home is really meant for the above. When you walk into the gym, you know exactly what you are there for. It’s a completely different energy/vibe comparing the gym and home life. I think this has played a role in people wanting better rhythm and a place where they can properly express their fitness.
3. Leveling Up your Heath + Fitness
I think across the board, we have all realized to some extent how our health and level of fitness plays a role when confronted by an unpredictable health scare. No doubt we have a stronger chance of survival in any circumstance when our health is in prime condition. When health and fitness levels are optimal, we become more resilient. I believe many folks understand this more-so now and are looking at the best options available. I believe they are finding OPEX to be the facility that will guide them the most successful way.
If you are looking for a facility and still a bit apprehensive, no sweat! Feel free to give us a call and ask us anything. Maybe we can ease your mind a bit.
