9. Insight
Gym members know they should stretch, and that yoga is
‘good for you.’ Instead, they chase immediate gratification
with new and unproven techniques. Yoga and stretching have
been taken for granted.
If they can trust the experience and immediate benefits of yoga
and stretching today, they will be motivated to adopt both for
a lifetime.

Fast Yoga Quick Stretch is a modern ‘take’ on two traditional
and distinct human activities - yoga and stretching. When

body-to-mind enhancement.
Fast Yoga Quick Stretch is space that immediately feels better,
by engaging and shaping the body to balanced and restorative
wellness.

enables anyone to learn how to improve their overall fitness
and enhance their lifestyle.

13. Why LA Fitness?
Under-utilized space creates zero cash flow. U.S. racquetball
participation has been declining through attrition since 2001,
as a new generation of gym members don’t play.
LA Fitness has 300 gyms in the United States, most with
multiple racquetball courts. In the Northeast, specifically
Bergen County - New Jersey, there are 12 retail outlets that
account for at least 36 courts.
