The Ultimate Guide to Gym Design with IndigoFitness

Where to begin with flooring, layout, and kit.

In today’s rapidly evolving fitness industry, staying ahead of emerging trends and popular training styles is essential, especially if you’re looking to open a new gym or revamp your current training space. This comprehensive guide will show you how IndigoFitness collaborates with you to create your perfect training space, offering cutting-edge products, the latest technologies, and introduce innovative training concepts to elevate your gym and make your job a little bit easier.

Step One – Discuss

Planning and creating the right training space is important – it can be the difference between a good workout and a great one, or a new member and a lost one. That’s why we take the time to sit down with you to discover exactly what you want from your training space, how you want it to look and feel, and the type of training you want to deliver.  Wel also bring our experience of the latest trends and share our previous success stories.

There are a couple of different options available for the initial discussion:

Virtual consultation

  • Convenience: Get tailored advice and inspiration for your gym space from the comfort of your location.
  • Collaboration: Work directly with our expert gym designers via phone or video call. Explore, layout ideas, gym equipment options and design concepts that fit your budget and objectives. 
  • Preparation: Have room dimensions (including ceiling heights) and any photos or videos of the space ready to share will really help.

On-site Consultation

  • Thorough Assessment: Our gym design experts visit your space (current or future), tape measure in hand, to conduct a thorough assessment.
  • Comprehensive Discussion: We analyse the functionality and practicality of the space, discuss your target customer and business objectives, and review any designs or ideas you already have. We won’t leave until we’ve got a thorough understanding of your needs and aspirations, and enough information to ensure our designs aligns with your goals.

Step Two – Design

Once we understand your goals and ambitions, along with the technical aspects of your space, we start the gym design phase. We always begin with the flooring as it underpins every activity in your gym. Next, we move on to the equipment – considering the positioning and orientation of hero pieces, space to move and space to train, and adequate storage – something that’s frequently overlooked, but a tidy gym is a safe and effective one, so we’ll make sure everything is in its right place.

We’ll also consider any requirements for custom designs and personalisation at this stage – our in-house design team and manufacturing plant gives us full control over the whole end-to end process and means we have the flexibility to create and deliver tailored strength and functional training equipment.

For more insights into our personalisation capabilities, you can get some ideas here.

During this step, we:

  • Develop a detailed 2D bird’s eye view layout of the gym space, optimising functionality and flow.
  • Create immersive 3D designs showcasing your gym’s aesthetics and strategic equipment placement.
  • Provide a captivating 3D virtual tour of the full training space, allowing you to explore and visualise the gym design from every angle.

We do all this using industry leading software, and can incorporate wall textures, doors and windows, lighting, and branding, making it look as realistic as possible. Seeing your gym come to life like this makes it easy to make decisions about the layout and equipment, making it easy to make decisions and changes at this stage.

Quotation and Finance Options:

Once you’re happy with the layout and equipment mix, we provide a fully itemised quotation, where you can easily see the price of all the elements including delivery and installation costs.

We also offer finance options as an alternative to paying upfront.

Step Three – Deliver

The final and most exciting part of the process is turning the discussions, designs, and decisions into reality. We actually start the preparation for the installation weeks in advance with a pre-install site visit.  We do this to get a full understanding of the construction of the room and the composition of walls and sub floors, with a view to mitigating any potential issues that could crop up during the installation.  We’ll also conduct a site access survey – just to make sure we have a plan for getting the equipment and materials safely into the room, taking into consideration access doors, staircases, corridors, and parking.

Our friendly and professional install teams are fully trained and qualified for site work and will take care of everything; from laying the flooring, to unwrapping, building and positioning the equipment, and taking care of any floor or wall fixings along the way, always using appropriate fixing materials and methods. Flooring fitted to a high standard, professional, qualified and experienced installers guarantee a high standard of fitting, quality result, delivered as promised and right first time.
