SAUNAS

The size of a sauna can vary depending on its purpose, the number of users it is designed for, and the
available space. There isn't a single standard size for saunas, but here are some general guidelines:

1. Small Saunas: These are typically designed for 1-2 people and may have dimensions around 4 feet
by 6 feet (1.2 meters by 1.8 meters).

2. Medium-sized Saunas: These can accommodate 3-5 people and may have dimensions around 6
feet by 8 feet (1.8 meters by 2.4 meters).

3. Large Saunas: These are designed for more people, often 6 or more, and may have dimensions
ranging from 8 feet by 10 feet (2.4 meters by 3 meters) or larger.

It's essential to consider factors such as the number of users, the available space, and the desired
sauna experience when determining the size. Additionally, there are various types of saunas,
including traditional dry saunas, steam saunas, and infrared saunas, each with its own considerations
regarding size and design.

In health and fitness clubs, saunas are typically larger than those found in personal residences,
ranging in size from 6 feet by 5 feet (1.828 meters by 1.524 meters) to 8 feet by 12 feet (2.438
meters by 3.658 meters). The most common sauna seating layout involves the presence of an upper
and a lower bench. The upper bench is usually 18 to 24 inches wide by 36 inches high, while the
lower bench is typically 18 inches high

Generally, traditional saunas are not designed to have pools inside them. Saunas are typically dry
heat environments, and the introduction of water or pools could create safety hazards and be
incompatible with the sauna's heating elements and materials.

However, there are hybrid designs that combine sauna and pool features. These are sometimes
referred to as "sauna pools" or "spa saunas." In such designs, a pool or hot tub is located adjacent to
the sauna, allowing individuals to move between the sauna and the pool for a contrast in
temperature and relaxation. These setups are more common in certain spas or wellness facilities.

Standard hot tub dimensions are as follows:


 Small Hot Tubs: 5’4” – 7” (Length) x 5’4” – 6’8” (Width) x 29” – 35” (Height)
 Medium Hot Tubs: 6’6” – 7’9” (Length) x 6’4” – 7’9” (Width) x 33” – 38.5” (Height)
 Large: 7’ – 9” (Length) x 7’ – 9’2” (Width) x 36” – 38” (Height)
There aren't strict standard measurements for the combination of a hot tub and a sauna, as it largely
depends on available space, personal preferences, and the specific design of the sauna and hot tub.
However, here are some general guidelines:

1. Hot Tub Size: Hot tubs come in various sizes, ranging from smaller units designed for a couple of
people to larger models that can accommodate six or more individuals. Common dimensions might
be in the range of 7 feet by 7 feet (2.1 meters by 2.1 meters) for a smaller hot tub and 8 feet by 8 feet
(2.4 meters by 2.4 meters) or larger for larger models.

2. Sauna Size: As mentioned earlier, sauna sizes vary, and you might have a small sauna for 1-2
people, a medium-sized one for 3-5 people, or a larger sauna for 6 or more individuals. The
dimensions can range accordingly.
3. Space Planning: When combining a hot tub with a sauna, it's crucial to plan the space well. Ensure
there's enough room around both the hot tub and the sauna for ease of access, maintenance, and
safety.

GYMS

The size of a gym can vary widely based on factors such as the type of gym, its purpose, the number
of users it aims to accommodate, and the available space. There isn't a single standard size for a gym,
but here are some general guidelines for different types of gyms:

1. Home Gym: A home gym can range from a small corner with a few pieces of exercise equipment to
an entire room or dedicated space. The size depends on the type and quantity of equipment, as well
as the available space.

2. Commercial Gym: Commercial gyms can vary significantly in size. A small neighborhood gym might
be around 3,000 to 5,000 square feet, while a larger fitness center or franchise gym can be tens of
thousands of square feet. High-end or specialty gyms might have additional space for amenities like
spa services, group fitness studios, or swimming pools.

3. Fitness Studio: Studios that specialize in specific classes like yoga, spinning, or group fitness may
have smaller footprints, typically ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 square feet. The size will depend on
the type and number of classes offered.

4. Health Club or Wellness Center: These facilities often include a combination of fitness equipment,
group fitness spaces, swimming pools, saunas, and more. Their size can range from 20,000 to
100,000 square feet or more, depending on the scope of services and amenities provided.

It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and the specific needs of a gym can vary. The
size should be determined based on factors such as the type of equipment, the number of users, the
variety of services offered, and any additional amenities. Additionally, local building codes and
regulations should be considered when planning the size of a gym.
