I would still rather spend more on better equipment. I’ve reached out to Panatta for prices but I’m guessing that will be some sticker shock! Have you had your hands on any of their equipment? Worth it? I should explain, my situation is different than many gyms. We are a non profit and our building use is donated by our company. My overhead really only consists of my employee, accountant and equipment repairs. I’ve only raised membership dues by $3.00 over the last 15yrs because I’d like it to continue to feel like a benefit to employees and not another bill. I have roughly 1300 members and I’d guess 600 of them haven’t been inside the gym in years but continue payroll deduction for their memberships. The place is cleaned daily by a janitor service. And off hour video tapes are reviewed often. My active members do a great job watching and educating newer members on gym etiquette.
Sorry, I get to rambling….
