We’re starting to see a massive demand for outdoor fitness solutions from operators. This is already a huge growth area and is set to continue. We launched our first outdoor container gym in 2021 – providing the perfect integration between indoor training and outdoor spaces, our outdoor fitness solutions can be completely tailored to a client’s needs. Our focus since gyms reopened has been on helping our clients remodel their fitness facilities to ensure they’re sustainable for the future. That will continue on into 2022 and beyond to support our client’s membership growth and to ensure that facilities are able to cater for lots of different demographics – from those in rehab to the very elite. Ensuring gyms have the correct areas with proper zoning and flooring will be key. We’re not just creating gyms that are for right now, we need to ensure they’re sustainable
Leisure operators are beginning to recognise the social and economic value of healthy community programmes, such as physical activity and wellbeing referral schemes. As the rates of inactivity and obesity have increased, there’s an opportunity to drive more referrals to our sector. The need for COVID rehab programmes may be a driver for wider sector funding. To free-up primary care professionals from the referral process, our clients are opting for the online referral route and accepting self-referrals. The secure and efficient provisioning of exercise and wellbeing services has never been so important. We urge scheme providers to consider process automation, service workflow and client communication, resulting in efficiency gains throughout the referral journey. In terms of service delivery, the way forward is a blended approach

and adaptable for the future. We’re proud to have launched our Trakk app in 2021. This groundbreaking activity tracking app is already transforming the way operators and gym-goers are able to track and log workouts. We were also pleased to have launched our Classic Strength line of equipment at the start of 2021. Our inspiration for the range came from some of our very first designs and recreating them with a modern twist and a stripped-back design.
