Article Thumbnail IHRSA '09 hosts product previews, prototypes, program launches
Mar 30, 2009
Despite some caution on both sides of the aisles, the IHRSA show with its focus on the commercial side of the fitness business managed to show off some new equipment, launch or update a few programs, and showcase some prototype gear.
