Gymnastics
Equipment
We all understand
that there are only so many pieces of competition gymnastics equipment.
What not everyone realizes is that the market for gymnastics equipment
is not large, only about 3200 gyms in the whole United States, and that
is no much of an incentive for equipment companies to spend large dollar
amounts researching and creating new training equipment.
A Limited Amount of Products
The net result
is that there is a limited amount of specialized gymnastics training equipment
available on the market designed to aid in training for specific skills
or training situations.
Coaches Often the Originators of New Training Equipment
What special
training equipment there is, like tumble trampolines and rod floors, were
originally designed and put together by coaches looking for a training
advantage or a way to accelerate or improve training. From that point,
either that coach or some sharp-eyed entrepreneur went into the business
of selling the equipment.
Web Marketing of Equipment Now Possible
Before the
advent of the Internet, the costs of advertising and marketing such individually
developed equipment were often prohibitive and many useful pieces of equipment
faded back into obscurity. Due to the low expense of web sites, marketing
is no longer the restricting factor.
Custom Building Equipment is Expensive
Custom designed
equipment is expensive to produce because there is no assembly line manufacturing
and each item must be hand constructed, often using a number of assembly
expertise requirements, like welding and upholstering.
