Corporate fitness center design

Corporate fitness centerspeople actually use.

A workplace gym has to earn its square footage. We design corporate fitness centers around the rhythm of the working day, the size of the team and the culture of the company, so the space gets used before work, at lunch and after hours.

Frequently asked questions

How much space does a corporate gym need?

It depends on headcount, how many people will use it at peak and what you want to offer. We size the space from expected usage rather than a rule of thumb, so it is neither empty nor crowded at lunch.

Can you design a gym inside an existing office?

Yes. We regularly plan fitness centers into existing floors, working around structure, ceiling heights, flooring loads, sound and access to showers.

Do you help with programming and staffing?

Yes. Our principals have run corporate wellness programs, so we can plan classes, staffing and member experience alongside the design.

Can you coordinate with our architect and GC?

Yes. We provide layouts, equipment footprints, power and data requirements and finish details, and coordinate delivery and installation with the contractor.
