gym consultants for hotels, universities & real estate developments

As a gym design consultancy, we advise on hotel gym, residential gym and university gym design. Our fitness consultant role leverages healthy building strategies and sustainable interior design to create fitness centres with physical and mental health benefits.

We specialise in advising real estate developers, universities and hotel brands on the optimal gym floor plan and interiors based on user demographics, industry trends and available budget.

We take a project from initial idea through to completion to ensure the best solution for each unique gym floor plan becomes a reality.

Occasionally we also take on home gym projects as interior designers for clients with suitable budget and space to work with, not just a spare room!

 
 

 
 

yoga studio concept by biofit

wellness space designers for hotels, resorts, offices and residential developments

Our fitness consultant and gym consultancy services now include leisure space design and wellness space design for indoor sports courts, yoga studios, meditation rooms and biohacking recovery facilities for coliving space clients from the coliving industry, residential, office and hotel sectors.

Such health and wellness facilities will usually include a suitably sized gym design component as well but in this section of the website we focus on everything else outside of the gym.

As yoga studio designers, meditation room designers and basketball court designers, we integrate concepts such as biophilic design, healthy non-toxic materials, curated playlists, wellness content apps, and more.

outdoor gym fitness consultancy for hotels, resorts, offices and residential developments

As a fitness consultant and interior design company working with hotels, residential developments and fitness center, we consider not just the most suitable outdoor gym layout but also practical factors such as shade structures, storage, sound systems, suitable flooring, lighting for training after dark and activity programming to activate the outdoor gym once launched.

We are experts in outdoor gym space and facility design for beach, garden, forest, or even bush locations. If anywhere, this is where we get closest to delivering a ‘bio gym’ in the true sense of the term.

For outdoor home gym and open-air training space requests, we recommend drag and drop 3d gym planner design software.

Choosing the right balance of machines and accessories can seem like a daunting task but experience has shown that our equipment selection and interior design process works equally well for outdoor gyms.

This reflects the considerable amount of time we spend on research, stress testing new equipment and creating opportunities to exercise on calisthenics park design around the world. Not all gym fit out companies deliver outdoor gym expertise as well…

 
 

 
 
 
Hotel & Resort Gym Equipment Selection

hotel resort gym equipment selection by biofit

we select & source all gym equipment as part of our gym consultancy FOR FITNESS CENTER, HOTEL & RESIDENTIAL TRAINING SPACE REQUESTS

When collaborating with architects or interior design studios, our fitness consultant role focuses on equipment zoning by training concept, sourcing and selecting equipment for the future gym fit out from local suppliers in line with budget allocation and market positioning.

We also source specialist gym equipment suppliers that offer customization of colours and finishes in order to create a unique gym floor plan aligned with the client’s branding and the surrounding aesthetics.

From functional fitness equipment, to strength and cardio equipment, mobility accessories and yoga mats.

For more on how we use specialist 3D gym planner design software see here - essentially it is about playing with different layouts, going into huge detail specifying each item that makes it onto the procurement list and the creation of fluid, user-friendly gym floor plans.

health & fitness consultants for hotels, universities, offices & real estate developments

In addition to our gym design consultancy services, we advise fitness center, coliving operators, residential developers and hotel gym owners on the latest smart tech, group fitness classes; gym music streaming services; gym virtual training software; recruiting fitness coaches; fitness brand partnerships; sourcing sustainable fitness products; fitness industry trend analysis, fitness influencers, personal trainers, strategic partnerships with complimentary wellness brands and more.

As an experienced fitness business consultant, the aim here is to create the perfect gym experience for fitness business owners, it’s not just about the gym floor plan or equipment list but the customer experience itself.

This requires much more than 3d gym design software as the facility is already operational, instead we zero in on new fitness concepts and how to choose equipment updates efficiently whilst giving gym-goers reasons to keep turning up to train, day after day.

Clients include Fusion Student Accommodation (UK); Sani Resort (Greece); all hotels in the IKOS group around the Mediterranean, Alpine Start Development (USA); Fish Capital (USA); Fritton Lake Hotel (UK); Tearose Hotels (Italy); Karolinska Institutet University (Sweden); Singita Safari Lodges (South Africa) and Natural Way Chiropractic (Canada).

  • A biophilic design and wellness interior design firm established by Matt Morley in 2018 providing consulting services for residential, office and hotel projects.

  • A specialist consultant helping gyms and fitness facilities in concept development, equipment layout, zoning, equipment selection and procurement, as well as competitor analysis and integrating the gym concept with the brand vision and target user profiles.

  • Interior design services for a gym or fitness facility include flooring, wall decor, lighting, electricity plan, equipment layout, drawings , section, 2D floor plans, 3D renders and full technical design package.

  • Gym designers advise on concept development, fitness trend, gym equipment selection, gym flooring, wall decor and mirror walls, lighting and design drawings.

  • A fitness consultant does not take responsibility for the gym interior design but is typically hired by the developer or hotel owner to advise on how to create a unique, differentiated fitness concept that adds real value to the project. This involves collaboration with the interior design team, MEP consultant and in-house operations teams. A lot of time is focused on the intricacies of gym equipment selection, customization and procurement according to location, budget and vision for the facility.

  • In addition to designing gyms and fitness centres, we also design leisure facilities such as indoor basketball courts, yoga studios, meditation rooms and egaming rooms.

  • Similar to leisure facilities, leisure spaces include meditation rooms, fitness aras, outdoor gyms, functional training areas, cardio zones, strength training areas, egaming rooms, basketball courts, skateboard ramps and more. We now design all of the above.

  • Founder of Biofit, Matt is a health and wellness expert with over 20 years experience in the real estate and hotel development industry. He leads each Biofit project supported by an interior designer and a project manager / technical designer.

  • Post-Covid, the outdoor gym ha gone from an optional extra to a must-have for residential developments, hotels and resorts who have available space. We are experts in designing outdoor gym facilities that are low maintenance, durable, and enhance the total gym user capacity for a relatively modest outlay when compared to the cost of indoor only equipment such as smart treadmills, or ellipticals.

  • Yoga rooms, meditation spaces, quiet rooms and restorative spaces all fall under this category. They can be applicable in a student accommodation building for example, or an office / workplace project. Hotels and resorts then need them nowadays to complete their offering, a gym is no longer enough for a premium, boutique or luxury hotel guest.

  • This might include an outdoor jogging track, ice baths, infrared sauna, yoga studio, meditation room or restorative space. Additionally, we have the gym facility itself, also falling under the banner of physical and mental wellness nowadays.
