Transforming Anytime Fitness Cheltenham
Daniel is the owner of multiple AnyTime Fitness gyms in Melbourne and sought a complete refurbishment to update his facility's aesthetics, improve functionality, and provide a consistent member experience across all locations. Daniel needed a solution that not only enhanced the individual gym but could also be replicated across other branches for uniformity in design and quality.
Elite Gym Design was brought in to handle the redesign, focusing on modernizing the gym, improving durability, and creating an operationally efficient layout, all while ensuring the changes could be easily implemented in future projects within the franchise.
Challenge
The existing gym had an outdated layout and worn-out flooring, making it inefficient for high-traffic use and less appealing to members. For a franchise owner like Daniel, the key challenges were:
Consistency Across Locations: The design needed to ensure a uniform look and feel across all gyms in the franchise, supporting brand cohesion.
Durability: High-traffic areas required flooring and materials that could withstand heavy use with minimal maintenance, reducing long-term upkeep costs.
Scalable Design: Any changes made at this gym would need to be replicable across the franchise to streamline future refurbishments and maintain quality across multiple locations.
Solution
To address these challenges, Elite Gym Design implemented a strategic approach tailored to meet the needs of a multi-location franchise: Elite Gym Design began with a thorough consultation to understand the brand’s goals and specific requirements for scalability. This process ensured the design was both tailored to the current location and flexible enough for implementation in future gyms. The team provided recommendations on layout, materials, and design elements that could be consistently replicated across the franchise.
Polished Concrete Flooring for Durability and Consistency:
A key feature of the refurbishment was the installation of polished concrete flooring. This flooring was chosen for its durability, low maintenance, and sleek appearance. It offered a solution that:
