In August, Athletic Business surveyed fitness facility managers in all sectors of the industry regarding the management of their class offerings.

Not surprisingly, group exercise and personal training rule the programming day, but a majority of respondents also offer small group training and bootcamps. A strong plurality of respondents invest significant time in their class offerings — 50 hours a week or more — and a majority dedicate 30 or more hours per week.

More than half indicate that their classes are taught entirely by in-house staff, and nearly half employ 11 or more instructors to handle the workload.
