Commercial Health Club and Gym Equipment

Size the popular stations to peak-hour demand, not to membership. A common planning rule is one cardio piece per 8 to 12 members expected on the floor at peak, which for most clubs means treadmills are the constraint — they typically account for 40% to 50% of cardio use. Duplicate the machines that queue and cut the ones that sit idle; a floor plan that ignores the peak produces both queues and dead equipment at the same time.

Plan for 12 ft minimum in a strength area and 10 ft absolute minimum for cardio. Overhead pressing, pull-up stations and rope work all need clearance above the user, and a treadmill running deck adds 8 to 10 inches before the user is even standing on it. Functional training rigs and rope anchors frequently need 14 ft or more. Ceiling height is the single most expensive thing to get wrong, because unlike a layout it cannot be revised after the fact.

Flooring is zoned by impact rather than laid uniformly. Cardio decks take 8 mm rubber; general strength areas take 3/8 in; free-weight and platform drop zones need 3/4 in or thicker, or a dedicated lifting platform. Turf lanes for sled work and studio surfaces for classes are different products again. Getting the transitions between zones right is what stops a floor failing early — most premature floor failure we are called to look at is a thin product installed where a drop zone actually was.

Yes. Properly reconditioned commercial equipment coming out of a club or apartment refresh will typically outlast new light-commercial equipment at a similar price, and it lets a build-out budget stretch across more of the floor. We are direct about which used equipment is worth buying and which is not — cardio with high-hour consoles and discontinued parts availability usually is not. We also appraise, buy back and remove equipment being replaced.

Yes — that is the normal case, particularly in a converted amenity space or a retrofit. Columns, soffits, sprinkler heads, door swings and ceiling height all constrain what can go where, and low headroom in particular rules out certain machines outright. We work from the room dimensions you supply, place the constraints first, and then match the equipment mix to what is left.

Our sales representatives are specialists in fitness facility design, not order takers, and a layout accounts for the things that make a room work or fail: safety and circulation, ADA access and clearances, electrical requirements and outlet placement, spacing between machines, and connectivity for networked equipment. A drawing that ignores power and ADA is a picture, not a plan.

Anywhere from in stock to roughly six months, depending entirely on what is ordered. Most cardio and most stock strength runs about two weeks. Accessories and HIIT products are typically one to two weeks. Custom strength is the long pole: custom colors, a different paint process or bespoke upholstery generally runs six to twelve weeks, and fully custom lines such as Atlantis, Gym80 or Panetta can reach six months. Lead time is the thing most likely to move your opening date, so it is worth settling early.

No. Fit Supply will sell a single set of dumbbells, one treadmill, or an entire facility. There is no minimum order value and no requirement to buy a package.
