OUTFITTING A MULTI-HOUSING WORKOUT CENTER
Onsite fitness centers are a great amenity and convenience to attract new tenants and buyers of multi-housing units as well as keeping the existing residents happy. Most of these fitness centers are unsupervised 24hr key card facilities, so when it comes to product its best to pick a manufacturer with great customer service and an excellent warranty as well as to keep the selection simple and easy to use.
When selecting product for a multi-housing fitness center there are a few qualifying questions to be answered:
-
Number of residents, average resident age, and potential fitness center traffic – This helps to determine the quality level and durability of products needed.
-
Space for the fitness center – How many products will fit in the room and how much use will each get?
-
Budget for the fitness center and product selection – How basic or dynamic will the center be? Is product quality more important or number of products?
-
What is the primary age group the fitness center will cater too?
-
What exercise regimens will the center cater too? (i.e., cardio only, cardio and strength, accessories).
Some of the best multi-housing fitness center products are offered by Body Solid.
