warming up and stretching limbs
before moving onto other
equipment, and warming down
afterwards.

STUDIOS
MULTI-PURPOSE STUDIO
A multi-purpose studio will provide a general
purpose space accommodating a wide range of
activities for movement and exercise e.g.: aerobics,
keep fit, circuit training, yoga, Pilates and boxing
aerobics.
A single large space should not be used for multiple
activities simultaneously, unless division is achieved
through the use of robust acoustic folding partitions .

YOGA STUDIO
A studio of either 15 x 12m or 15 x 15m will provide
a general purpose space accommodating a range of
mat based activities such as yoga and Pilates.
Periods of quiet will be necessary, adequate acoustic
separation from other spaces will be important.

SPINNING STUDIO
Spinning classes generate substantial noise and
activity disruptive to other users.
Spinning should therefore be separated from the
main gym and held in a separate studio.
