      <title>How Your Fitness Amenity Compares to the Property Down the Street</title>
      <link>https://multifamily.matrixfitness.com/blog/how-your-fitness-amenity-compares-to-the-property-down-the-street</link>

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Introduction&lt;/h2&gt;

Somewhere in a design review, someone asks how your fitness amenity stacks up against this competitor.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
