We’re taking a closer look at how New Jersey businesses, especially fitness centers, are dealing with rising energy costs without sacrificing comfort or the member experience. From air quality and temperature control to sustainability and long-term savings, energy efficiency is becoming a key competitive advantage.

Joining us this morning are Al Subbloie, CEO and Founder of Budderfly, and Mitch Benson, Senior Vice President of Operations at Empire Portfolio Group, which operates dozens of Orangetheory Fitness locations. Together, they bring both the technology and real-world experience behind how gyms are cutting waste, lowering costs, and still delivering a premium experience for members.
