Earlier this month we had a vendor who does a lot of clothing for illuminate gym and our franchise development company who came up with an idea to do custom I-Pods with our logos on them. The I-Pod looked sharp with our gym logo on it but as I looked at it I wondered if it was a good thing to give our clients the I-Pod after reading about all the runners who have been killed in the last year due to their lack of concentration and ability to hear as they run down streets with rushing cars by them. The question is do I as a franchisor and franchisee put my clients in danger… Well I guess some of our clients run on the treadmill which doesn’t put them at risk but at the end of the day the bad press I have been reading about I-Pods and fitness made me shy away so we ordered a batch of hoodies instead. I know really high tech right??? It’s better than a client of illuminate gym or any of our personal trainers getting hurt because they were blasting a Kanye West album as they ran down a busy street in Denver or any other city for that matter.
