Boston, MA, January 7, 2013 -- Today, the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association announced the launch of its official mobile app serving the worldwide health and fitness industry. "The IHRSA App is a great resource for health club owners, operators, suppliers and other industry stakeholders," said Jay Ablondi, IHRSA's executive vice president of global products. The IHRSA App enables users to access daily news updates, CBI magazine, blogs, tweets, job listings, the IHRSA Buyer's Guide, and other industry content. The IHRSA App also converts seamlessly into a comprehensive event application that enhances the attendee, sponsor and exhibitor experience before, during, and after IHRSA events, such as IHRSA 2013, the association's 32nd Annual International Convention & Trade Show, March 19-22 in Las Vegas. "We all know that the business world is going mobile," said Ablondi. "The IHRSA App is a must-have download for anyone in the health club industry who wants to be 'in the know' -- because it gives users the industry at their fingertips." "The IHRSA App is brilliantly done and I am amazed of the extent of information and tools they have been able to gather in the app. It really is a valuable tool -- especially when you are on the go. I can't wait to use it at the IHRSA Convention in Las Vegas" said Rasmus Ingerslev, CEO of Wexer Virtual and Fresh Fitness, based in Denmark.
