Three Commonly Overlooked Gym Essentials

FORT WORTH, Texas - Dec. 29, 2016 - PRLog -- Whether you're opening a new gym or looking for tips on how to get the most of your existing space, you've come to the right place. Below you'll find three items that can improve customer loyalty and improve workout effectiveness without requiring a significant investment from the gym owner. All three of them are often overlooked when initially planning a new gym.

#1: Towels
Nearly all your clients will appreciate a soft piece of cotton to help wipe away perspiration after a tough workout. When it comes to towels, our advice is not to skimp – you can probably find cheap towels on sale somewhere, but your clients will appreciate the soothing softness of a more expensive choice.

#2: Chalk
If you're offering any kind of free weights in your gym, don't forget to stock chalk. There are a multitude of different types of chalk offerings you can use, and your selection will likely depend on how much of your clientele uses free weights.

#3 Mats
If your gym is like most, you've got several different kinds of fitness classes available along with a staff of personal trainers working closely with clients. Mats are a crucial piece of equipment that often gets forgotten, especially by new gym owners.

This last piece of equipment is especially important because your choice on which kind of mat to offer in your gym will make a strong impression on your clients.

Interlocking Mats are a common choice, and most gym users are familiar with how they work. However, interlocking mats take time to put in place, and more time to move, making them far less versatile than other kinds of mats.

Rolling Mats are another common choice, and provide plenty of portability while lacking the strength and security of more stable mat variations.

Ideal mats; rollable, flexible mats
For the best of both worlds, consider FlexFit Mats. FlexFit Mats have a durable premium vinyl surface backed by lightweight sports foam that provides all the stability of interlocking mats without the annoying puzzle piece edges. FlexFit Mats feature a flexible rolling system that allow them to roll out quickly and evenly, remain stable and secure for the duration of the workout, and roll back up just as easily.

Like soft towels, you could probably get away with using a less effective mat option, but your clients are sure to appreciate the FlexFit difference. www.flexfitmats.com
