Ikos Odisia _ Gym

outdoor gym designer fitness consultancy

As a fitness consultant and interior design company working with hotels, residential developments and fitness centers, 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 the importance of light in creating an inviting and functional outdoor gym environment.

For on-site installation, configuration, and project implementation, our local team provides dedicated support and expertise tailored to your location, ensuring a seamless process.

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, creating a new training space that enhances user experience and community engagement.

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. We also offer gym flooring options specifically designed for smaller spaces, optimizing layout and aesthetics in limited outdoor areas.

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…

Biofit’s parent company Biofilico delivers wellness interior design across a range of market segments, from hotels, to offices and residences while our strategic advisory arm, Green Healthy Places, provides green building and healthy building advisory services.

biohacking, recovery & longevity in spa design


What is a designer bath house? Does it make sense to have a float tank in your luxury home gym? What are the health benefits of ice baths? Is there more commercial value in a Cryotherapy chamber or a Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber Therapy in a resort spa context?

Executives in the fitness industry are asking us all this, as well as personal trainers, hotel managers and residential real estate developers. We now provide guidance on how to create recovery rooms in both commercial and residential settings, expanding our role as fitness consultants to cover this component of wellness too.

Our sister company Green Healthy Places trend report on ‘Recovery, Biohacking & Longevity in spa design’, where gym design and wellness intersect.
