Welcome to the feng shui gym.

This will determine how much space is required and the type of gym layout design that will work best for you.

Corporate gym and hotel spa owners are looking to use more sustainable materials in the design and build of their facilities. But what exactly is sustainable interior design and what does it involve?

A run before work, a pilates class at lunch, and an hour in the gym once you’d clocked off for the day was seen as something to strive for. And whilst being physically fit to the best of our abilities is, of course, still incredibly important, it is no longer the only objective. It’s time to talk about fitness vs wellness.

When we feel physically well, we are far more likely to feel mentally well. As the Mental Health Foundation states “Nearly one in three people with a long-term physical health condition also has a mental health problem, most often depression or anxiety.” The correlation between physical fitness and mental fitness is clear, which is why wellness is so important for mental health.

People across the globe are realising that there’s more to being happy and healthy than pounding the treadmill or crushing high rep squats. Of course, that’s not to say that fitness goals have been ousted and the gym still has a crucial part to play in helping to maintain our physical health.
