Fitness centers are much more than places to exercise. Today’s lifestyle demands a more holistic approach that includes mental health and recreation, in addition to weights and the latest technical equipment.

We highlight the three spaces you should consider when designing a fitness project: rest, wellness, and socialization.

 

Rest areas

The gym is understood as an extension of well-being, which goes beyond sweating on treadmills. Think about creating places where people can relax before or after an intensive cardio session, something that encourages relaxation or muscle relaxation, such as a spa.

 

Wellness zone

Mind & body areas are another prominent element in new fitness business models. Examples include rooms dedicated to activities such as yoga or meditation, which should be adequately decorated to elevate the spirit towards the session’s goal.

 

Socialization areas

It is increasingly common for people to train in groups or pairs, so we must facilitate an environment where they can connect in a more relaxed manner. Small libraries, cafes, or reading areas will help you unlock these emerging spaces.
