Multi-Family Fitness Centers has become the #1 Amenity

December 19, 2017

By far, the most upgraded community-wide amenity since 2014 has been the multi-family fitness center. Recent research finds that 46 percent of tenants are willing to pay a premium for complexes that have group fitness classes – in addition to on-site gyms.  Top-notch, customized exercise equipment can vastly improve tenant interactions and a sense of community in your multi-family apartment or condo complex. Having a friendly, uncluttered neighborhood fitness center is also priceless for municipal relations. 
As you’ve probably recognized, the modern family fitness center has changed dramatically over the last 25 years – and an ancient, drab ill-equipped multi-family exercise space is a serious obstacle to any apartment complex’s appeal. Tenants can head next door.

Signs of a Healthy Residential Fitness Center

For branding and safety, the need for high-quality commercial exercise equipment is mandatory. By using easily recognized, top-of-the-line equipment, multi-family groups differentiate themselves from competing apartment units.

You know your budget but aim high.

Installation costs for a multi-family fitness centers vary greatly, depending on the type and amount of fitness equipment you need, square footage, budget goals and multiple design factors.
