Greetings,
Recovery is a trend that is growing quickly around the country. With so many classes designed for high intensity workouts, clubs are balancing these with programs and services related to recovery. High profile athletes that are staying in sports longer have shown how important recovery can be to longevity.
In the last six months, the RAC has invested in three HydroMassage lounge units to compliment the three HydroMassage beds we have had for several years. We added an 8-week foam rolling class to the Group Fitness schedule. You may also notice that many trainers are spending more time stretching their clients individually or as part of a class.
Another device that we are excited about is Theragun. This percussion therapy device will be for sale in Thrive. We have a demo unit available so you can try it out. The plan will be to have a couple of these units on the fitness floor when they launch their charging stand that holds two tethered units as well as a display that demonstrates how to use the device.
When the fitness floor unit arrives, trainers and members will have access to these recovery devices. We know that this will be a big hit. Imagine, a compliment to foam rolling and stretching where you can sooth sore muscles. In the meantime, stop by Thrive and check out our demo unit. If you want to purchase one for home, we have them in stock.
