Welcome to the latest episode of LIFTS, your bite-sized dose of the latest industry fitness trends and stories.
In this clip from PerformX, Jaclyn Hughes highlights one of the biggest challenges facing gyms today: the gap between equipment and coaching.
Many facilities invest heavily in new machines and technology, but without knowledgeable staff on the floor, much of that equipment sits unused or misunderstood.
Jacyln shares how valuable tools like vibration platforms and strength equipment are often left in the corner while members repeat the same workouts for years without real progress.
The real opportunity for operators isn’t just better equipment it’s better coaching and guidance to help members get results.
