Fitness & Recreation

Fitness Background

Fitness and recreation centers typically have scores of televisions conveniently located throughout their facilities. Members are used to tuning in to TVs to pass the time while they exercise.

At the same time, fitness centers thrive when their services are used and their classes are well-attended.  By adding a few digital signage video displays or redirecting displays in lobbies, registration areas, lounges and locker rooms, StrandVision can help them achieve both of these goals.

Digital signs can post schedules and sign-ups. They can also build community by listing extra activities, interest groups and community events. They can be used to advertise local businesses and promote products that are sold at the center.

StrandVision Digital Signage rounds out the fitness/recreation experience.
