Design
|
To successfully design a fitness center you must first address the functional design. Electrical, lighting configurations, equipment size, and traffic flow and clearance issues must all be considered to provide an optimum design. Other considerations like user demographics, retail and passive space, as well as technical, environmental and cultural factors must all be considered before hand to avoid costly mistakes during the development process. As a growing leader in the Design of Optimum fitness solutions Opti-Fit uses our own special planning service designed to help optimize the fitness potential of every location.

California School for the Blind
Dear Steve, it is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for you and your company “OptiFit”. This past fall you and your staff transformed a classroom here at the California School for the Blind, into a top notch fitness center.
Specific challenges were imposed due to the fact that some of the students have limited vision and some of the students have no vision at all. Making sure there was a significant contrast between the floor and the equipment was very important to the safety of the students who have some vision. Also the spacing of each piece of equipment was paramount due to the students negotiating the room with their canes.
As an Adapted Physical Education teacher, I can honestly say that your expertise and willingness to go the extra mile for our students made the difference! The students use the equipment five days a week. Many students did not know how to use the rowing machine or the elliptical machines and now they enjoy great workouts. The treadmills and spin bikes are a favorite of the students too.
The “Hoist” brand equipment that you set up for us is easy to use and adjust for students who are visually impaired or blind. All in all, it was a wonderful experience working with you and your staff. The staff and students at the California School for the Blind thank you and would recommend your organization to anyone who is considering purchasing new fitness equipment.
Sincerely, Mary Alice Ross |
