Houston YMCA Group Taps Precor for All Fitness Needs
National Leader Signs Six-Year Agreement on Strength, Cardio and
Entertainment
HOUSTON–(EMWNews)–One of the nation’s largest YMCA associations,
the YMCA of Greater Houston, has signed a six-year agreement making
Precor the exclusive supplier for fitness center strength, cardio and
entertainment equipment.
With 38 locations in the Greater Houston area, the Houston YMCA is the
third largest association in the U.S. Last year, nearly 900,000 people
were served through value-based Y programs such as child development and
education, older youth and teen programming, health enhancement,
wellness, camping, sports and recreation, fellowship, community
development, refugee settlement and affordable housing. One-third of all
Houston YMCA members receive financial assistance.
Houston YMCA Clark Baker noted that Precor has been a strong supporter
of the association’s mission of meeting the
needs of underserved inner-city families and communities.
“We’ve had the good
fortune to work with Precor for several years, and over time, they’ve
come to understand and truly embrace our mission of serving the
community,” said Clark Baker, Greater Houston
YMCA president and CEO. “Certainly, the Precor
equipment helps us deliver a fitness experience that delights our
members, but beyond that, they’ve added real
support to key initiatives that resonate with our mission to build
healthy spirit, mind and body for all.”
The announcement of the Houston agreement closely follows similar
arrangements with leading YMCA associations in Kansas City and
Pittsburgh.
