As schedules become more and more hectic in our fast track society, the demand for 24/7 service continues to grow. Consumers expect to be able to get gas, buy a light bulb, and even grab a late night snack whenever they want including midnight or later. Add to that list - work out.

He said Repetitions offers a safe environment with a security system.
