Prior to laying the gym matting, we had to raise the floor level to install acoustics. This would ultimately help to reduce noise pollution created by the daily activity, which is very important given that gym is located in a residential area.
Raising the floor also meant we had to create a ramp from the gym to the changing room area – an adaptation that proved key in allowing access to the space and ensuring DDA compliance. We also made small changes to the changing rooms, such as building a new wall for greater privacy and integrating power points for hairdryers and straighteners.
Finally, we created a storage area with a low-level cabinet unit, water fountain to refill bottles and large towel stand. This will help the guests to stay hydrated and provide a place for F45 employees to store essential items, such as health and safety equipment.
