PACE: The Ideal Circuit for 24/7 Clubs

24 hour access clubs are opening all over the world like wildfire with franchises like Snap Fitness and Anytime Fitness leading the trend. Many independent clubs are following suit to be able to expand their membership base without a great deal of additional costs (the utilities cost may go up a bit, but there are no additional personnel or rent costs).

What seems to be a roadblock for many club owners considering a 24/7 format is the potential liability of someone hurting themselves without supervision. We suggest adding a PACE circuit training program- Since there is no fixed load or eccentric resistance "negative", it is virtually impossible to hurt yourself with PACE hydraulic equipment. Instead, PACE features double concentric "positive" resistance which works opposing muscle groups for an intense, full body workout. And since PACE's work/rest circuit format combines strength and cardio workouts into a time efficient 30 minute program, it can fit into the busiest of lifestyles.

A 24/7 PACE program will not only increase your potential membership base and profits, it will also help set your club apart for the competition. Curves clubs have been forbidden from offering 24 hour access. Although some Curves clubs have gone ahead and implemented a 24/7 format, they are in violation of their franchise agreements and have been told the cease and desist.

Snap Fitness adds PACE Equipment

We are proud to announce that Snap Fitness (www.snapfitness.com) is adding PACE equipment to their larger clubs. Here is what Peter Taunton, the CEO of Snap Fitness has to say about PACE:

"We at Snap Fitness are proud to be the first national 24 hour access fitness company to feature hydraulic circuit training equipment in our clubs. We researched equipment suppliers thoroughly and decided to go with PACE, the best hydraulic equipment in the industry. We will be featuring the PACE circuit in women's only areas of our larger clubs to provide a superior alternative to the women's franchise clubs out there. Our members will not hit plateaus with PACE as they do with their current non-adjustable women's club equipment- also, once they feel comfortable, they have access to the rest of the club and a wide variety of equipment."

Want to get a huge edge over Curves? Consider a 24 hour access club with PACE equipment.

PACE Fitness Announces New Website

We at PACE Fitness are happy to announce our new updated website at www.pacecircuittraining.com. With the growing number of sales in to senior fitness facilities, 24 hour access clubs, weight loss centers as well as rehab centers and sports conditioning facilities; we wanted our website to more closely reflect the wide range of fitness levels and applications our PACE circuit training program can accommodate.
We still enjoy a nice business selling in to towns where a Curves for Women club has just closed, but it seems our customer base is expanding as more and more 24 hour access clubs, senior fitness centers and weight loss/exercise studios are spreading across the country.
Please check out our new website to see if PACE circuit training can work for your facility.

"I wish I had Known" - another Curves owner

I heard this again today for perhaps the thousandth time- from another Curves owner who wished she had done more investigating before getting involved with a Curves franchise. She is soon going to be closing her club, but wanted to look into opening a non-franchise club to be able to continue to service her members. When she found out she could buy a PACE circuit for over $10,000.00 less than the Curves’ start-up package- for superior equipment and no franchise fees, she was obviously very happy. But she was also very frustrated with the time, money and hard work wasted on Curves with absolutely no support from the corporate office.

I told her perhaps the best way to look at it was a learning experience; she now knows what does not work and what not to do. She can now expand upon her hard work over the years and reap the profits of truly owning her own business. I also encouraged her to look at the positive things she accomplished; she helped many people make some positive changes in their lives. She perhaps did not have the best product to offer or tools to work with, but she can now expand on what she started.

I have helped hundreds of former Curves club owners, employees or members successfully open their own non-franchise club; if you know of a Curves owner of a club that has recently closed, or soon to be closed, please pass along my contact information.
