GYM ZONES

1. Cardio Zone - this area is multifaceted with a full cardio offering of Technogym kit
including Skill Mill, Skill Bike, and Skill Row
2. Skill and Functional Zone - open plan functional training floor set out in a square
format, including squat racks and assault bikes. These two areas can cater for 20 people
in a lifting/functional class, or be used for members doing their own training.
3. Kinesis Stations Zone - with Technogym cable resistance machines
4. Free Weight and Strength Space - with squat rack, dumbbells, and pin loaded
equipment
5. Stretch Zone - situated by the studio to give calm space where members can also talk to
instructors or fellow class members
6. Group Exercise Studio and changing rooms are near the Stretch Area.

7. Use the “rule of quarters” when planning the layout of your gym. Split the area into
quarters and designate a category in each section.  You can divide up the areas into the
four main types of exercises: strengthening, stretching, balance, and cardio. Then further
subdivide that into selectorized, big iron, and sub-functional areas. 
8. Incorporate Hygiene in Your Layout
9. Showers and locker rooms are essential amenities in any gym. You should plan them
while factoring in the hygiene of your clients. It’s better to sometimes have separate
washrooms, and showers. 
10. Put them on either side of the space so no one roams around your gym with sweat
dripping all over their body. 
11. If that one’s not possible, consider having the showers near the weight room and cardio
sections of your gym. These are the areas where exercisers are expected to sweat a lot. If
you plan to offer group classes, each room used for these training should have its own
washroom, lockers, and showers.
12. Only then can you decide what kind of interior each area should have. Of course, there
should be a harmonized interior design for the walls of your gym. But each specific area
must still be organized to fit the designated section each area has.
