Gym and Fitness Studio Design Online: Layout and Equipment
A gym is planned around safe space between machines. Zone the floor into cardio, strength and studio areas, then add flooring, mirrors, storage and lighting.
What you can do here
- Lay out cardio, strength and stretching zones
- Plan a studio floor for group classes
- Add mirrors, storage and changing areas
- Choose flooring, colours and lighting
Typical sizes and tips
- Treadmill safety standards (ASTM F2115) call for a clear zone of about 2 × 1 m (79 × 39 in) behind a treadmill and about 0.5 m (20 in) on each side.
- Allow about 4–6 m² (40–65 sq ft) per person for group classes.
- Use rubber flooring in strength areas; thicker tiles where weights may be dropped.
- Check the ceiling height where people lift overhead or use jump ropes.
- Plan ventilation for many people working out at once.
Common planning guidelines, not building-code requirements. Measure your room and check local rules.
