[PH] Train Fitness leans on ASUS to strengthen advocacy
The fitness industry took a hard hit when COVID-19 struck the country in 2020. It posed a serious threat
to the livelihood of fitness trainers, who carry out their jobs based on physical interaction.
Francis Jeffrey Simon, the co-founder and head coach of Train Fitness, can attest to the weight of the
impact that the pandemic had dropped on their establishment. “The business [was] affected very badly
because the business [had to be] closed (during the pandemic),” he said during an online interview.
Despite its establishment in March 2020, Simon said that the gym still managed to maintain the
“overwhelming support from the industry.” For him, this was because “we have a huge following when it
comes to our advocacy.”
