How to configure a Commercial Gym
With the development of the times and the improvement of national health awareness, gyms are not only the standard configuration of large companies, but also begin to enter small and medium-sized enterprises, bringing fitness benefits to employees. So, how to better configure a corporate gym? What Fitness Equipment do I need? Here I have collected some knowledge points for you to avoid detours in the configuration of corporate gyms for your reference.
Whether it's a large business or an SME, the main principles of the gym are practical. It is necessary to make reasonable use of the floor space according to local conditions, meet the preferences and fitness needs of employees, give full play to the role of various fitness equipment, and improve the utilization rate of equipment.
1. Consider the size and budget of your corporate gym
When we choose equipment, the size of the venue will affect the number, specifications, and types of equipment, and the budget directly affects the configuration of fitness equipment. Under the circumstance of limited budget, choosing high-quality equipment cannot guarantee the quantity of equipment. High-quality equipment, the maintenance of old problems in the future is also a lot of cost, so start to make choices in the configuration of fitness equipment.
2. Configure the number of fitness equipment according to the number of employees
Gym configuration must take into account the number of employees. If there are less than 30 people, you can buy a few basic Cardio Equipment (Treadmill, elliptical, Exercise Bike), plus exercise anaerobic abs boards, bench presses and comprehensive trainers. Of course, the number of aerobic equipment and anaerobic equipment can be appropriately reduced according to employees' hobbies for fitness. For example, if 30 people do not have the habit of exercising, they can be equipped with slightly entertaining sports equipment such as table tennis tables, billiards tables, badminton courts, etc., and the utilization rate will be higher.
3. Configure the device type according to the ratio of male to female
When configuring a corporate gym, the first thing to consider is the gender ratio of employees. For gyms with most male employees, we need to configure more Strength Equipment, and the purchase of dumbbells also requires more attention. If the majority of female employees, treadmills can be added according to their preferences, elliptical machines, spinning machines, rowing machines and other cardio equipment can also be equipped with some yoga mats, skipping ropes, kettlebells, dumbbells and other Fitness Accessories for women.
Because different people choose different exercise needs, some people prefer to build muscles and other more core forms of fitness, and some people prefer more fun activities. No matter how the equipment is matched, it is important to increase employees' motivation and interest in fitness so that they can actively participate in sports.
4. Sports space design
The area of the gym can be determined according to the size of the company, generally 30-100 square meters for small and medium-sized enterprises, which can meet the fitness needs of company employees. The gym can choose a bright space and install fitness mirrors in the right position, which will expand the space, optimize the field of vision, drive the sports atmosphere, make employees happy, and be more conducive to timely correction of fitness movements and observation of fitness effects. Cardio equipment is mainly placed near the windows. During exercise, you can see the outside scenery and relieve fatigue; the fixed strength equipment is neatly placed on the wall. Space design is an integral part of the gym. Good space design can not only create a good fitness environment, but also better manage and maintain fitness equipment.
5. Gym area planning
Regardless of the size, the area of the corporate gym must be clearly distinguished, generally divided into the necessary functional areas. Necessary functional areas include aerobic area, anaerobic area, strength area, spinning room, yoga room, etc.; leisure and entertainment areas include table tennis room, billiard room, badminton room, etc. Extended functional areas include showers, changing rooms and a tea room. Each functional area can be distinguished by setting lighting, text, color and other ways.
The layout of the equipment area also needs to consider two aspects: one is whether the exercisers with adjacent equipment will affect each other during exercise; the other is the safety during the fitness process.
6. Consider after-sales service of fitness equipment
When choosing a fitness equipment brand, you should also pay attention to the brand's after-sales service, because the equipment needs maintenance. Choose a reputable brand to ensure product quality and after-sales service, and use it with more confidence. Therefore, it is recommended that you choose a large brand fitness equipment supplier with a local store. One is the quality of the pre-sale equipment, and the other is the after-sales guarantee. The large brand fitness equipment supplier will provide 1-2 years of free maintenance services.
