WOODINVILLE, WA -- Precor has sold ClubCom to Zoom Media & Marketing, a New York-based provider of targeted out-of-home media and promotional programs for brand advertisers in the United States and Canada. ClubCom, a provider of customized digital media networks for the fitness and bowling industries, had been part of Precor’s fitness division since 2004. Terms of the private transaction were not disclosed.

ClubCom operates digital media networks in more than 1,600 venues globally, including extensive operations across the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and Australia.
