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
If you wish us to design a floor plan send as much information as possible. We can return floorplans by email in a pdf. format for you to view. When planning a facility we can offer the following.
- 2D equipment layouts
- 3D concept visualisation including virtual flythrough
- Electrical outlet positioning
- TV & audio placement for optimum viewing and ergonomics
- Equipment sighting for safe effective use
- The appropriate equipment mix for the gym size and target market
We can design changes to new as well as existing facilities and will liase with architects or building contractors to deliver the right layout for you.
