Strength Concept Description

Free-Weight areas are best supported with functional mirrors so that guests can check their form during exercise. This zone also requires special attention to the floor covering both in terms of functional performance as well as safety and acoustical considerations. Ample movement space must also be planned for, as exercise within this zone typically extends beyond the footprint of the equipment itself. As a general rule, Free-Weight areas should be located furthest away from lower energy zones such as Flex &Recovery.

Circuit stations can be positioned flexibly in most areas of the fitness center, but should be grouped together to establish flow and workout efficiency for the guest. These stations typically require little extended exercise space beyond the parameters of the units themselves. For continuity, it is advisable to keep them in close proximity to the Free-Weights.
