The world has gone through tremendous change in recent months and will continue to evolve as time allows. These changes have directly impacted the fitness industry by imposing temporary closures and restrictions to help maintain a safe and healthy environment for gym-goers when they return.
As excitement grows for facilities to re-open, the Core Health & Fitness team is dedicated to working with our valued partners to develop creative and safe ways to re-open. To best prepare for these changes in the fitness industry, Core can offer connections to many great solutions available to support businesses in this time.
