ENTOUCH's Demand Response program has demonstrated the tangible economic and environmental benefits of energy management. By leveraging ENTOUCH's proprietary technology, 24 Hour Fitness has not only achieved substantial cost savings but also contributed to a more sustainable future. Chris Schmidt, SVP of Club Operations at 24 Hour Fitness, stated, "The growth of our program is a testament to the value ENTOUCH's Demand Response technology brings to 24 Hour Fitness, not just in cost savings but also in our contribution to a more sustainable future and a healthier planet."

Building on this success, 24 Hour Fitness is committed to increasing enrollment across more program and utility providers, implementing Demand Response initiatives with utility companies in the expanded regions, and continuing to focus on reducing carbon emissions and educating team members on the benefits of Demand Response to minimize opt-out events.
