Opening a gym
Air, occupancy, noise and loads from feasibility onwards
A gym requires each zone to be assessed separately, from training and classes to changing rooms and equipment.
High occupancy, physical activity, music, impacts and equipment make ventilation, HVAC, acoustics, structure, escape and water particularly important.
Typical requirements
- Calculate ventilation and HVAC by zone and occupancy.
- Review loads, vibration and noise transmission.
- Coordinate changing rooms, water, drainage, electricity, occupancy and escape.
Engineering requirements
Services to resolve the project as one coordinated whole
Activity projects
An activity project coordinates intended use with the premises. Scope follows a review of location, area, condition, occupancy and required services.
02Feasibility studies
Feasibility does not replace the later project; it reduces uncertainty while there is still room to choose premises, layout or scope.
03Air conditioning and HVAC
The project coordinates thermal demand, ventilation, indoor air quality, generation and distribution with architecture, electricity and controls.
04Electrical installations
The electrical solution starts from expected loads, distribution, protection and coordination with other services.
05Fire safety
We integrate escape, compartmentation and protection systems with layout, building services and intended use.
06Structures
We calculate and document steel, concrete or timber structures coordinated with geometry, use and the construction process.
FAQ
Preguntas frecuentes
Can any premises become a gym?
No. Structure, clear height, neighbours, ventilation, escape and layout should be checked before committing investment.
