Space Planning

We have created hundreds of floor plans and equipment specifications for health clubs, hotels, military installations, police & fire stations along with professional sports facilities. Before committing to purchase equipment space consideration is essential.

  • Measure length and width of your area and mark location of windows, doors and other important features
  • Measure room height as some equipment may be to tall or impair the user
  • Look at the dimensions of equipment you intend to purchase to get an idea of how it will fit into a space
  • Make sure there are enough power outlets of the correct rating
  • The room may need to be air conditioned, if the area is enclosed with little air flow it will be uncomfortable to workout
  • Bright lighting or natural light creates a positive environment
  • Leave adequate space between equipment and walls so not to damage either
  • Certain CV equipment such as treadmills and rowers create more noise than others so site them in more isolated areas where they will not create a disturbance
  • Your choice of flooring is also important a concrete floor covered with carpet or rubber matting is suitable for most equipment, wooden floors will amplify noise
