To further improve the experience of meeting participants, Tremblay provides hot coffee and tea along with some popular snacks as part of the service. “I was worried about the atmosphere of this space,” said Marsh Wilson, who held a meeting at Iron Gym last week, “but I was pleasantly surprised by how the room was transformed.” soasa 161.
