Are you building a new club? Or, are you remodeling your club? The reason I ask is that I noticed an article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper on April 27th with the following headline that might be of interest to you at this particular time in your club business career: Gyms Going Mirror-less to Reduce Self-criticism with a sub-headline that read: Studies have found mirrors diminish sense of well-being. The article, written by COURTNEY PERKES, was originally published in the Orange County Register, in case you want to track it down to read it. If you can’t nd it, send me an email at
Norm@clubinsideronline.com, as I scanned and saved it just in case. Also, IF you’re building a new club
or upgrading your club(s), you should contact our friend and CLUB INSIDER Con- tributing Author, BRUCE CARTER, at
Bruce@optimaldsi.com.
