MAIN GYM AMATRRAFloor Space Utilisation and Work Flow Upgradation

Developed By: Team Ghatak

Evidence & Guideline Partner

BASICS OF ANY GYM / TRAINING AREAAccording to the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the tallest machines in the gym should be placed on the perimeter of the building along the walls. These machines include squat racks, power racks, Smith machines and assisted pull-ups.

This is not only visually pleasing for patrons, but reduces risk of the machine falling and hitting someone. All tall machines should be bolted to the floor for extra stability.

Dumbbell racks are traditionally placed along a wall, or in front of a mirror if available.

All barbells need to be positioned so that there is at least 36 inches of space between the ends of the barbells.

This allows for traffic flow and spotters if needed.

Weight trees and racks should have 36 inches of clearance and be placed near plate loaded equipment

Policies and Procedures

Challenges with regard to infrastructure doesn't mean we cant address or build space flow. Currently we didn't spot an eye to the norms we have fallen out of.

Immediate & Interim Solution Plan

IMMEDIATE MOVEMENT PLAN 1. Choose between two smith stations which over lap the same function. Avoid duplication of machine which reduces free floor space for training & client servicing. Over crowding is the single biggest eye sore to the client. This will allow area for free dynamic warm up and we can add concept like balance stability, suspension training later. This also leads to possibility of opening rehab training under L-19 or any shop in shop concept.

2. Currently the dumbbells are actually divided into two racks so its a better idea to place them in a single line or find new multi-storage ergonomic options. reference pics

3. Floor Space is loose and used with spill over small items. Smart Storage is the option to create free functional work and flow space by using walls and multistage options. This will also help bridge the gap between eye ball perception and consumer connect.

e.g. There is a wooden box on the next to the the smith machine which can be replaced by a hanging barbell rack which will open up with more space 

3. Positioning of the preacher curl can be changed ( mirror facing which will open some space ) 

4 The benches ( incline and flat are of three different variation and are spread at two different space , for symmetry then can be in inline which will again open up .More space and will look uniform 

4 There is another station just next to the 2nd rack for dumbbells which is carrying just a biceps barbell on it , so that can be placed again on the hanging barbell rack 

5 . There is a big table just as at the entrance of the gym which can be either removed or replaced with a small table or a corner table 

6 . The lower back roll machine are actually hiding the view of the screens so these machines can be shifted to a side probably next to the leg extension which is a empty corner area 

7 . Machines can be arranged in accordance to the tall machine facing wall concept and the machine can also be shifted according to the muscle group ( one muscle group machines at one side ) 

8 Free equipments : free lying equipments like steppers , a trolly which is carrying just a remote can be removed , the weighing machine can be put in a corner , swiss ball , medicine balls can be put in a corner as they occupy much space and look unpleasant , even the matts and foam rollers   

9. The cardio section can be be arranged in a manner that the extra ceiling space for the tall machines can be complimented and integrated 

10. The flooring can be changed e.g - wooden flooring under the cardio section and rubber matt under the weight section

INTERMEDIATE MEASURES International Look , Local Cost & Global Interface via technology , service & Standards

Zoning

Effective gyms will place their equipment into zones. Depending on specific

customers, business goals and sectors, the balance of zones, in regards to size,

shape and equipment will vary. For example, commercial gyms will focus on catering for everyone, so they will need a

fine balance between the main zones - Cardio, Free Weights, Fixed Resistance and Functional/Stretch. Whereas school gym’s primary focus will be creating a

safe environment for the children, therefore the zone balance will be

affected

FLOORINGPicking the right flooring depends on

what type of equipment you have in your gym, and what it will be used for.

Different areas of your gym require different styles and thickness of flooring.

Flooring is required to be soft, comfortable and protective as this area will accommodate a lot of body movement.

Functional areas cover a wide range of workouts, which vary in intensity.

Choosing functional flooring is dependent on what type of exercises we will be doing.

My Suggestion we start using free weight flooring to avoid any damage and to avoid any problems down the line.

DECOR’

There is a particular balance that is needed when designing a gym’s decor.

Too busy and bold will make your gym feel small and crowded.

Too clean and neutral will make your gym look boring and lifeless.

Lets aim to utilise subtle design techniques to bring your gym to life, without overcrowding it.

While establishing the same we must also aim to integrate key service areas and system desks to ensure controlled traffic flow and optimum return on training floor space while achieving a high return on training.

QUICK TAKE AWAYSDesign ConsiderationsKey design goals and considerations for our fitness Centre should include the following:

Support the Active EnvironmentCreate an interior design environment that supports the energy and activity inherent in the facility:

Challenge to address absence of High ceilings and ample circulation space encourage activity.

Interior design and colour selection must provide a sense of activity but should not overwhelm the eye or

Clash with the colourful work-out clothing typically worn by patrons.

Use key activities as design focal points and to enhance interest.

This could be the strategic location of a climbing wall visible from the lobby or glass walls at racquetball courts and classes.

Maintain a Safe and Healthy Environment

Safety is a critical element of the fitness centre design and includes imparting a sense of security as well as injury prevention.

Aiming to provide visual access to all potentially dangerous, small spaces.

Provision for proper impact flooring for each space for fall attenuation and appropriate cushioning for bone and joint health.

Eliminating hidden or dark corners and provide alarms or call buttons in key remote spaces such the sauna, massage room, and outdoor areas.

Appropriately separate gender-specific areas to ensure a sense of privacy.
