INDUSTRY OVERVIEW HEALTH CLUB INDUSTRY ADAPTS TO CHANGING LANDSCAPE, CONSUMER DEMANDS By Kristen Walsh In March, IHRSA s 36th Annual International Convention & Trade Show returned to Los Angeles, California, attracting nearly 12,000 health club operators, suppliers, and fitness industry professionals from some 80 countries. They experienced the latest equipment and technology from 376 exhibitors, attended educational sessions given by industry experts, and enjoyed networking and social events. Some of the buzzwords heard often throughout the fourday event included competition, studios and, most of all, technology. The latter has been deemed such a priority for the success of the industry that in September 2016, IHRSA Board Chair Rasmus Ingerslev announced the formation of IHRSA s Innovation & Technology Advisory Council as a means to reach out to the technology community, within and outside of the fitness industry, to help identify important technology-related issues and trends. The diverse group of individuals representing club, supplier, and technology companies met for the first time on March 10 during IHRSA 2017. The goal is to gather the smartest minds in and around our industry in order to ensure that all IHRSA members are in the know in regards to how technology will impact our industry, said Ingerslev. One issue that all council members agreed upon during the meeting is that there seems to be a wide gap of knowledge amongst club operators in the industry. Therefore, one of the immediate goals of the council will be to help IHRSA provide information and education to club operators to aid them in making sound innovation and technology decisions. Another highlight of IHRSA 2017 was the 12th Annual BASH for Augie s Quest, which raised nearly $3.5 million in funds to fight ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). An incredible $2.08 million of this was raised by Orangetheory Fitness, which was presented with the 2017 Augie s Quest Leadership Award. The company s inaugural #IBurn4ALS campaign, lasting just two weeks via 620 of its popular locations, resulted in both the largest in-club fundraiser to date and largest single-year campaign ever for the organization. Augie s Quest to Cure ALS is the challenge the fitness industry dared to accept, raising more than $35 million total since its inception. Every dollar raised via the industry directly benefits Augie s Quest, the ALS research initiative led by Augie and Lynne Nieto on behalf of the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) in Cambridge, Mass. ALS TDI is the world s first non-profit biotech with more than 30 scientists singularly focused on finding a cure for ALS. Augie Nieto is a pioneer. He once saw a world where fitness would boom, as the founder of Life Fitness. And today, nearly COPYRIGHT 2017 IHRSA IHRSA GLOBAL REPORT 9
