Stats Research Project-Topic Development
Question: What type of gym is more beneficial for clients, a crossfit gym or a regular
gym? What are the weight loss, strength gains, attendance, injuries, and the prices when
compared and which one is better for the money paid?
This topic interests me because I’m a very active guy and I love to go to the gym. Crossfit
is a very new type of training method that has been gaining popularity in the past five
years worldwide. The methodology of crossfit gyms is very interesting, they have an
instructor in every gym showing and teaching clients on how to be fitter, the bad part is
that it’s more expensive to join these gyms. But with a regular gym you are paying less,
but it’s self-paced. So, what I am interested in is which one will give you your money’s
worth.
The business part of this also interests me because I would one day like to have the
opportunity to open my own gym. Crossfit gyms are growing in popularity recently and
they are less expensive to open up than regular gyms because of the amount of equipment
needed. This assignment would help me figure out if a crossfit gym is really worth owning
and pursuing.
