Gym Flooring

When you think about designing a home gym, apartment gym or personal trainer facility that fits the end users fitness goals, do you initially think about possibly a couple pieces of cardio or multi-gym that works all your body parts equally? Maybe you are a serious trainer or a personal trainer who trains clients from your home gym or small commercial facility. If that is the case You may need some quality commercial gym equipment over the typical retailer options. When designing a high end home gym or small training facility you should spend some time reviewing options for flooring. Gym floors come in so many affordable options such as: carpet squares or rubber tiles that fit together like engineered wood and laminate floors. These days they even have rubber tiles that look like wood. This can be an affordable, practical and contemporary design element for a smaller gym.

The space can be very important, as you want to be sure to have enough walk space and ventilation. Special care should be taken to insure that you do not overcrowd the gym with to much equipment. There are so many options these days in regards to equipment choices and budget that you can find something that works for you and your chosen space. For small spaces choose a multi-stack gym and a few pieces of cardio. Multi- Gyms come in a variety of foot print dimensions from 2- stack to 4 stacks and allow up to two people to train on the equipment at one time. If you have a little more space you can choose a combination of free weights and a circuit like the Paramount FS Fitness Line that provides 15 exercise movements with only a 7-piece circuit allowing you to train more body parts and benefit from more exercises with less equipment. Your budget allocation for equipment can play a big roll in equipment choices, as all equipment is not created equally. Choice options in equipment go from home gym, to light commercial; to a full commercial line which is more likely to be found in large commercial facility’s.  Read more...

Training skills are very important, but the main thing you’re looking to learn here are the people skills that it takes to be a successful trainer. So you need to be aggressive in getting clients and filling up your training schedule. The good news is that if you have good ideas to get new clients, management may be willing to help you (they should be – after all, they’re stealing nearly all of your money) Here are a few things that have worked extremely well for me in the health-club environment:  Read more...

Jonathan Wong asked:

As a personal trainer and fitness professional, its my passion to help people get in shape. One of the things that can certainly help is joining a good gym. But there are so many choices out there. There is the good, the bad and the ugly. Ugly because if you choose the wrong gym, you will get so frustrated and may give up on your fitness goals altogether! I would **** to see that happen.

Bad service, bad ethics, bad trainers, bad customer support, refusal to refund purchases for valid reasons, charging customers who have already stopped their contracts and so on…  Read more...
