The Boys & Girls Club of Greater High Point is committed to enabling all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.
Recently Exergame had the wonderful opportunity to work the the BGC of High Point on their first brick and mortar club! After multiple exergaming purchases built around mobile equipment, we were finally able to add some stationary items. But one of the BIG questions that comes up with other Boys & Girls Clubs, is what is the durability of the equipment?
Well we took an opportunity to interview Floyd Johnson, the CEO of Boys & Girls Club of Greater High Point to get some feedback!
Having durable exergame equipment is crucial for Boys and Girls Clubs for several reasons:
1. High Usage and Demand
Boys and Girls Clubs typically serve many children and teenagers, leading to frequent and intense use of equipment. Durable exergame equipment can withstand this high usage without frequent breakdowns, ensuring continuous availability for the kids.
2. Cost-Effectiveness
Durable equipment reduces the need for frequent replacements and repairs, leading to cost savings. Boys and Girls Clubs often operate on tight budgets, so investing in long-lasting equipment is financially prudent.
3. Safety
Well-constructed, durable exergame equipment is less likely to fail unexpectedly, reducing the risk of injuries. Ensuring the safety of children is a top priority, and durable equipment contributes to a safer environment.
4. Consistency in Programming
Reliable equipment allows for consistent programming and activities. Clubs can plan and execute their schedules without interruptions caused by broken or malfunctioning equipment, which is vital for maintaining engagement and routine.
