So you've scheduled a tour for a potential member to come in and check out your facility. How do you prepare? What do you go over with them on the tour? How do you turn the tour into a sale, and ultimately a devoted member? Below are some answers to help you reach these goals.

While federal and state constitutions bestow on parents the right to determine what is best for their children, this interest does not also secure a parent’s right to sign a waiver for his/her child to engage in a specified activity.

More clearly stated pre-injury waivers signed by parents/guardians for their children are not presumptively enforceable.

RealRyder® Indoor Cycling: It’s Fun. It’s Functional. It’s About Time!

For more than two decades, the dynamic of an indoor cycling class has essentially been limited to pedaling faster or slower while altering resistance levels. Finally, your students can train in a way that’s both fun and functional by working the entire body as a cohesive unit on an indoor bike.

The RealRyder® Indoor Cycle turns, tilts and leans – improving strength, stability and coordination of the upper and lower body with emphasis on activating the core.
