Precor is delighted to welcome a guest post from Asset Advantage, an established privately owned finance company which specialises in lending to SMEs throughout the UK. Over the past ten years they have lent over £250M to a huge variety of business sectors and for a wide range of purposes. However one key area in which they have carved out a highly respected niche is that of lending to new starts in the fitness sector.

Founded over 25 years ago, the Spinning® programme embodies many things: passion, heritage, innovation, quality and style, just to name a few.

In the fitness industry, a broad spectrum of facilities are opening each day. We have such a large portfolio of products and services that we can configure around the world to high-value areas of differentiation. We believe in helping people live the lives they desire and always helping the operators win.

The sport of rowing involves full body muscle activation from the initial leg drive to the end of every stroke. Bring a new level of strength and power to your training with this workout featuring Queenax™ and the Assault AirBike. 

Picture this…. your members love the Spinning® classes and your class schedules are filling regularly. You have probably managed to get 15-20% of your riders to wear heart rate watches (if you are lucky) to monitor their feedback and gauge intensity but the rest are quite happy to just use the RPE scale by rating their perceived exertion. It really depends on your instructor’s approach and delivery.

As mentioned in our Part 1 of this series, the modern terrain of fitness has a very different look to 15 years ago and is a world away from the Crunch, Karen Voight studios and Joe Weider Gyms of old. But when looking at the historical creation of the industry we can see some similarity and we can use elements of the old ways to our success in the new vision of BOUTIQUE FITNESS for any long-standing clubs.
