Taking the plunge into self-employment with a gym with a lot of verve is a promising option. After all, health and physical fitness are playing an increasingly important role in society's consciousness. Plans are quickly made for the range of courses on offer or for equipping the equipment park with high-quality cardio machines and dumbbells. However, prospective founders often forget one crucial question: What furniture do I need in my gym?
Everything starts with the first impression
Who wants to work out in a gym that looks like an antique store at first glance thanks to cobbled-together furniture? For this reason, high-quality furniture that fits together is the be-all and end-all. It all starts with an attractively designed entrance or reception area. After all, this is the business card of fitness studios and CrossFit boxes. An inviting reception counter is therefore an absolute must. Also some seating such as bar stools or cocktail chairs belong to it. The next step is the office furniture. Ideally, this should also be representative and match the rest of the furnishings. After all, this is usually where the membership contracts are signed.
Essential furniture in the gym
Whether you want to open a KDK studio, a CrossFit box, a classic gym or a health club, locker room equipment is part of the indispensable furniture in the gym. For the men's and women's locker rooms, you primarily need lockers where your studio members can store their clothes. Lockable wooden or steel lockers with good ventilation and a practical interior division including a clothes rail are ideal.
To make the best use of space in cramped rooms, so-called Z-lockers are ideal. The obligatorybenches with coat hooks should also not be missing from the changing rooms. Studios with additional spa and sauna areas also need changing rooms.
Choosing the right flooring for the gym
Other furniture for the gym
Furniture in the gym is needed not only in the entrance and changing area. Additional equipment is also useful in the training area itself. Lockable compartment lockers, where members of the studio can lock away their valuables, are welcome.
Depending on whether you want to open an old-school gym or a fitness club with an upscale feel, additional furniture for your gym might include some lounge furniture. After all, a cozy seating area for that protein shake and post-workout chat is a goodie that many exercisers will gladly accept.
