Participant Spotlight:
9Round Fitness
|
|
|
At 9Round Fitness in Torrance, owner Dan Hawkins has been operating sustainably since he opened the doors in 2014. The gym, which provides clients with full body circuit training workouts in 30 minutes, minimizes energy usage with LED lighting, offers clients onsite filtered water instead of plastic bottles, conserves water with low flow fixtures in the restroom, and uses non-toxic cleaning supplies. Many of these change were a win for both the planet and the bottom line; upgrading to LEDs reduced 9Round's lighting energy usage by 80%, with a payback of 14.5 months.
Interested in how your business could save on utilities? Free energy audits are available for qualified participants and provide up to 500 points! Contact us at gbc@southbaycities.org to learn more.
