The HFA Trade Show in Las Vegas was an absolute powerhouse of innovation, connection, and inspiration. If you’re in the fitness industry—or just obsessed with health and wellness—put this event on your radar for next year.
What Went Down at HFA
This trade show had everything fitness-related—from the newest workout equipment to cutting-edge recovery tools and nutrition trends. But for us, the best part was connecting with gym owners, fitness center managers, and industry pros who are all looking for ways to improve their businesses.
One thing that stood out was how many gyms and fitness centers struggle with laundry — from keeping towels fresh to handling workout gear efficiently. We had some great conversations with gym owners about how a streamlined laundry solution can save them time and money, and they completely saw the value. It’s clear that the industry is looking for ways to be more efficient, and we’re excited to keep these conversations going.
