Starting your own fitness center is an exciting adventure. You probably have all kinds of ideas about what type of machines you’ll have or what kind of classes you’ll offer.

However, before you can get your fitness center off the ground, you need to give some thought to the layout and design of your fitness center. Coming up with the right design for your fitness center is vital to the center’s functionality and safety.

For example, key areas to consider include:

1. Lighting.
2. Flooring.
3. Open Floor Space.
4. Mirrors.

Maximising the facility from the member’s point of view might mean less equipment and more open space than a traditional set-up. But this member-centric approach soon translates into better results for members – and a more successful gym.

What keeps members coming to a gym? It’s not the equipment. It’s the results they achieve by being there.

A properly designed facility with distinct zones puts the accountability back onto the member. They have a programme, and know each part of their gym has fits into their plan. They know what to do, where to do it, and they are confident about getting in there and cracking on with a successful workout.
