The Roman Gingerich Recreation-Fitness Center sees more than 100,000 visitors annually. More than half of those are “paying” customers who spend up to $450 on 6-12 month memberships. An additional 50-75,000 visitors to the GC Athletic Complex annually include elite travel team tournaments and camps. In addition to a college crowd which will soon enter the work force, Goshen Athletics provides an opportunity to reach thousands of potential customers with expendable income on hand.
