Two big opportunities for community gyms are programming for older adults and for true beginners. Recent literature reinforces that consistent resistance training reverses sarcopenia and boosts function in older adults; even modest loads done twice weekly provide meaningful gains. Pair that with mobility work and aerobic conditioning to optimize healthspan.
For absolute beginners: start with movement fundamentals in small-group Foundations courses — bodyweight mechanics, breathing, and simple metabolic conditioning. Build confidence with measurable short-term wins (tech milestones, consistent attendance) before adding complex implements or intense WODs.
