About this building

Club operations and fit-out teams deciding what goes where, and what to buy next. This is a twin we built and keep, not an account we hold. Equipment is placed and moved at real width, depth and height, and the measure tool works on the placed models as well as the building, so a clearance between two machines is a real dimension.

The problem: a layout is only testable by doing it

Moving a rack row means unbolting, lifting and re-plating the floor, and the only way to find out whether the new arrangement works is to finish it. If the training clearance comes out short, the club has paid for the answer twice.

Buying is the same problem earlier. A machine is chosen from a catalogue footprint and meets the walkway on delivery day.

What the twin holds

Every machine placed at true width, depth and height, so the space between two of them is a real dimension rather than an impression.

What came out of it

Two layouts compared on the same floor, with the training clearance measured on all four sides of a repositioned rack before anything was unbolted.

Two layouts, one floor

USE CASE

A rack row repositioned and the training clearance measured on both options. The gym floor with the equipment placed at true size: the rack area, the plate-loaded row, the cardio bank along the glazing. A rack is dragged into a new position and the training clearance around it is measured on all four sides. A second layout is tried with the cardio bank turned through ninety degrees, and the two are compared on the same floor before anything is unbolted.

New equipment, real footprint. A machine placed at true size to see what it takes from the walkway.

USE CASE

Every machine is an asset with its own service interval and fault history. The cable crossover that keeps going down is identifiable, and the twin says exactly which one on the floor it is.

  • Trying a layout:
    Move a rack or a whole row and measure what is left around it.

  • Buying with confidence:
    Place the machine you are considering at its real footprint first.

  • Keeping the clearances:
    Training space around a platform is measured, so a layout can be defended.
