The Covid Lockdown served a severe punch to the fitness industry in Houston, and Russell Krause of Village Fitness says they are now back. "It took 2-1/2 years to return to pre-Covid levels as far as traffic flow and revenue." Fitness is topping the 2022 list of Placer.ai's popular industry list and Krause says the Covid era is a major factor. "The comeback out of Covid has helped re-focused people's lives --- and HEALTH being on of them!"
Covid Update: Monday: Another Week of Staying at Home!
Even though the Covid Era caused a major slow down in the fitness industry, now Krause says he thinks the period of isolation gave many people the chance to contemplate their lives. "It's about becoming more educated about themselves --- and what they need to do to take care of themselves!"
Krause says his training center is seeing new clients looking for a healthier life along with the returning long-timers. He says new fitness centers like boxing gyms are even popping up here!
