Redesigning your fitness space and replacing existing equipment can be a challenge. Additionally, knowing what equipment to purchase and replace can be daunting. There are a few things that need to be addressed before deciding what the best path forward is.
Design
Whether you’re creating a new layout or working with an existing facility, there are a couple of things that need to be considered. The main question is, “how can we best utilize our fitness area space?”, more specifically:
Should we maximize the natural light coming into the room?
Do we need to take into consideration American Disability Act spacing (ADA)?
Has our demographics changed since the last fitness equipment install?
What kind of equipment mix would best compliment our current demographics?
Should we consider more entertainment in the consoles, such as touch screens with on-demand content to keep up with the times?
Do we want to keep any existing fitness equipment?
Working with a commercial fitness sales representative is an easy way to work through the questions above. They can help you redesign your space from the ground up by analyzing your existing gym, researching your demographics, and assessing what equipment to keep or replace.
With so many variables in the design process, it’s a “no brainer” to consult an expert. There are too many mistakes to be made to do this on your own. While creating or refreshing gym layouts is complicated, dedicated commercial fitness sales reps can streamline and simplify this process.
Timeline & Installation
When you have finalized the design and fitness equipment list, the delivery and installation is the last phase. Over the last year, our world has changed and the fitness industry is adapting. Aligning delivery times for fitness equipment has become more challenging than ever. Fitness industry experts understand these challenges and work tirelessly to make sure your facility can transition seamlessly in the quickest way possible.
Coordinating equipment delivery and installation times is crucial to the success of your business or facility. The key to success is making sure you order your fitness equipment at least 12 weeks ahead of time. Manufacturers generally don’t have warehouse space to house boxed fitness equipment. Your equipment is typically made on order. Keep this in mind when budget meetings come up and timelines are discussed. Stay ahead of the curve and start the refresh of fitness equipment as early as possible. As an example of a fitness supply chain, please see the example flow below:
Manufacturer→ Distributor→ Warehouse→ Local Installers→ Your Fitness Room
By considering all this information you will ensure the success of meeting your grand reopening, renovation or refresh timelines.
