The market for gym display solutions has grown rapidly, and with it, the confusion around what to buy. This guide cuts through the noise.
The Landscape
Solutions range from basic timer apps running on consumer hardware to enterprise-grade digital signage platforms purpose-built for fitness. The right choice depends on your facility size, programming complexity, and budget.
Key Evaluation Criteria
The features that actually matter for gym operators: ease of workout creation, exercise video quality, scheduling automation, multi-screen management, and reliability. Many platforms look impressive in demos but fall apart in daily operational use.
What We Recommend
For single-location operators, look for platforms that offer a free or low-cost entry point with the ability to scale. For multi-site operations, prioritize centralized content management and the ability to push programming across locations simultaneously.
