HEALTH & FITNESS CONSULTANCY - HOTELS, REAL ESTATE, UNIVERSITY
BIOFIT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2015 BY MATT MORLEY AS A GYM CONSULTANCY FOR REAL ESTATE & HOTELS.
TODAY WE SPECIALISE IN INTERIOR DESIGN, EQUIPMENT SELECTION, SUSTAINABILITY AND CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT FOR GYMS, FITNESS CENTRES AND WELLNESS STUDIOS / LEISURE SPACES.
AS A SUB-DIVISION OF BIOFILICO WELLNESS REAL ESTATE, WE ARE UNIQUELY PLACED TO OFFER A STRATEGIC PERSPECTIVE ON SPACES DESIGNED FOR WELLBEING.
We design gyms and fitness facilities for maximum health benefits, integrating concerns for enhanced indoor air quality, biophilic design, non-toxic materials, mood-enhancing lights, energizing aromatherapy and of course, the two big ticket items of flooring choice and wall decor. Our design philosophy is to align all of our work behind the twin pillars of People and Planet, seeking harmony between occupant wellbeing with environmental concerns. We use specialist 3D design software to make it all happen.
In recent years we have evolved beyond indoor and outdoor gyms into indoor basketball courts, yoga studios and meditation room design for hotels and residential real estate developments. Again, we integrate wellness interior design strategies with equipment expertise and an eye on sustainability.
Whether it be a ‘smart gym’ with the latest interactive, connected equipment and elements of A.I. or an old school basketball court with eco-friendly flooring and wooden wall bars, we create custom concepts for each wellness space we design, starting from the user experience first and designing the interiors around that initial insight.
Our expertise runs from Virtual Trainer software to smart gym equipment, sustainable gym equipment, custom design gym equipment and beyond.
As wellness consultants for real estate developments, universities and hotels we advise on group class concepts, virtual training software, music software, holistic wellness programs, selecting coaches and teachers, educational courses for those staff members, in-pool fitness concepts, outdoor fitness concepts, ecology room design, quiet rooms, recharge rooms for mental wellbeing and more. If it is a space intended to improve the mental and physical health of its occupants, we can design it!
Our sister company Biofilico delivers green building (sustainability) and healthy building (wellness design) services to the real estate, hospitality and university sectors, meaning we have unparalleled access to sustainable interior design strategies, ESG-led wellbeing plans and wellness real estate concepts aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), amongst other global benchmarks such as LEED, BREEAM, the WELL building standard, Active Score and RESET.
