NOW IT'S A COMPLETE 180, FROM
POTENTIALLY DROPPING THE INTEREST IN

BACK EVEN BIGGER THAN I WAS BEFORE.
"Now it's a complete 180, from potentially
dropping the interest in home fitness in my
(business) to going back even bigger than I was

There have even been times when dumbbells and weight plates
were out of stock, sales manager Louis Fisette says.
But while the rise in residential sales was welcome, he notes that

"We're seeing an influx of sales as far as the retail side of things for
a home gym, but what people don't really realize is how much our
commercial department has suffered," Fisette notes.
