Yes, my company has this equipment, and I believe the use is:
Programs: The 10 programs predicted to grow by the highest percentages of respondents who offer them are not always the most popular activities. Only five of them (balance training, functional resistance training, back pain prevention, senior-specific training, and exercise for chronic medical conditions) are on the list of top programs offered. Yet respondents are confident these activities will grow, even when very few offer them.
Equipment: When a piece of equipment is offered by over two-thirds of respondents, it’s interesting to see that there is still room for growth, according to IDEA members. Confidence reigns among the very few who offer some equipment types.
