Gym Tenant Improvement Ideas to Boost Employee Well-Being

Prioritizing employee well-being has become has become as important than ever before. As employers work to create healthy workplaces, incorporating a gym into the office space has become a very popular trend. Offering on-site fitness facilities not only promotes physical health but also has an impact on mental well-being and productivity. Gyms also provide an extra amenity for employees to work out when time may be limited before or after work and is an appealing feature for employers to recruit employees. Let's discuss some ideas for incorporating gyms into the business setting.

Gym Ideas for Offices and Corporate Buildings

Thoughtful Space Planning


When designing a gym on the office property, careful space planning is important. Consider creating separate areas for different types of exercise such as cardio, strength training, and stretching. Optimize the layout to provide sufficient room for each activity, taking into account the number of employees who may use the facility at the same time. Adequate spacing between equipment will give employees the ability to move freely, preventing overcrowding during peak hours.

Quality Equipment


Investing in high-quality equipment is also an important factor for a productive and safe work-out area. Choose equipment that caters to a variety of fitness levels and prefrences, including treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, and weight machines. If enough room is available, incorporate equipment like resistance balls, stability balls, and yoga mats to offer flexibility for various exercise routies. Make sure that all equipment is maintained and regularly serviced to prvent accidents and malfunctions.

Natural Lighting and Ventilation


With the integration of natural lighting and proper ventilation into the gym can significantly enhance the overall workout experience. Sunlight has been proven to elevate moods, increase vitamin D levels, and improve productivity. Natural lighting includes large windows or skylights to bring sunlight in. A well-functioning HVAC system is required to maintain air quality and temperature, creating a comfortable enviroment for employees to work out.

Interactive Technology


Technology also is a feature that people look for in a gym setting to make workouts more engaging and motivating. Install screens that offer access to virtual fitness classes and interactive workout apps. Most employees rely on their phone to keep track of their fitness goals so having the proper wi-fi available in the gym is important. Along with this, many people enjoy watchnig tv while working out so it may be a great option to implement a few quality TV sets into the gym.

  • ”The work was completed ahead of schedule with only one pricing change, due to a change that was not included in the original scope of work. Everyone that we dealt with at Crew Builders including the owner, staff and subcontractors was extremely capable and responsive to our needs. The Crew Builder team made us feel as if we were their only client, even though I know they had running several other jobs at the same time.”
