 Fitness Equipment and Fitness Center Design  
Wednesday, 03 August 2011
Design and Equipment are Important Elements of all types of Fitness Facilities
When you contemplate the plans for a home exercise room, apartment gym or personal trainer facility that fits the end users fitness goals, what is the primary concern a few options are of great importance. What specifically are the goals they gym should accomplish is it for a client based facility or a moderate usage home exercise room This will be a good starting point for planning the facility.
Starting with flooring you should spend time studying all the possibilities, because you want the flooring to be durable and fit the budgetary requirements. Gym floors are offered in so many inexpensive selections including: carpet squares or rubber tiles that fit together like engineered wood and laminate floors. These days they even have rubber tiles that look like wood. This can be an affordable, practical and contemporary design element for a smaller gym.
The layout can be a major consideration as well, since you want to be sure to have a sufficient traffic path and proper air circulation. Special care should be taken to insure that you do not overload the gym with too much equipment. Fitness Equipment comes in a multitude of options these days as to accommodate any and all facility sizes and purposes. For small spaces choose a multi-stack gym and a few pieces of cardio. Multi- Gyms come in a variety of foot print dimensions from 2- stack to 4 stacks and allow up to two people to train on the equipment at one time.

If you have a little more space you can choose a grouping of free weights and a circuit like the Paramount FS Fitness Line that provides 15 exercise movements with only a 7-piece circuit allowing you to train more body parts and benefit from more exercises with less equipment. Your budget allocation for equipment can have a big impact on your fitness equipment choices, as all equipment is not created equally. Choice options in equipment go from home gym, to light commercial; to a full commercial line which is more likely to be found in large commercial facility’s.
Next you will need to consider layout such as where the equipment will best fit the space, we suggest you utilize a company that offers a free AutoCAD design this can insure that your space and dimensions are being utilized in the best manner for the equipment and the end users. Additionally if you plan to add mirrors, and media such as stereos and or television that those items as well as the electrical sources are completely thought through for the design you have.
 
High end home gyms or personal training gyms typically will be best suited with light commercial or refurbished commercial grade equipment or go all out with full commercial, but never underestimate usage and choose home gym for exercise facilities utilizes by members. Pre-Owned or refurbished fitness equipment characteristically sells for 30-50% of its retail cost and may only be a few years old.
