How to set up an Small gym club

I. Cardio Training Area

    1. Treadmills: 1 - 2 units. Choose models with a small footprint, basic speed and incline adjustment functions, and the ability to display exercise time, distance, calorie consumption, and other data. For example, a folding treadmill from a certain brand can be unfolded during use and folded against the wall when not in use to save space.

    2. Exercise Bikes: 1 spin bike and 1 recumbent bike are recommended. Spin bikes are used for high-intensity cardio training to motivate members, with emphasis on seat comfort and smooth resistance adjustment when selecting. Recumbent bikes are suitable for members with weak physical fitness or in rehabilitation training, as they reduce pressure on the lower back.

    3. Elliptical Trainers: 1 unit. Elliptical trainers have low impact on joints, making them suitable for various groups of people, and can exercise the whole body. Choose models with adjustable stride length and resistance to meet the needs of different members.

II. Strength Training Area

    1. Barbell and Dumbbell Sets:

        • Barbells: 1 standard barbell, approximately 2 meters in length, with a weight capacity of 100 - 150 kilograms, suitable for basic strength training such as squats, bench presses, and deadlifts. Match with weight plates of different weights, such as 2.5kg, 5kg, and 10kg, to meet members' needs for gradually increasing training intensity.

        • Dumbbells: Purchase one set of adjustable dumbbells with an adjustment range of 5 - 30 kilograms, and one set of fixed-weight dumbbells ranging from 2.5kg to 15kg, increasing by 2.5kg each. Adjustable dumbbells allow members to adjust the weight at any time according to their own conditions, while fixed dumbbells are used for some fine muscle training.

    1. Multi-functional Strength Trainers: 1 unit. Such as a comprehensive training machine, which can perform various movements such as chest pushes, back pulls, shoulder presses, and leg extensions, exercising multiple muscle groups of the whole body, meeting members' diverse strength training needs, and occupying a relatively small area.

    2. Training Benches: 2 units. Including 1 adjustable-angle bench press bench, used with barbells and dumbbells for training parts such as the chest and shoulders; 1 fixed-angle sitting bench, which can assist in training movements such as arm curls.

III. Free Training Area

    1. Yoga Mats: 5 - 8 pieces. Choose yoga mats with a thickness of 8 - 10 mm, which are non-slip, wear-resistant, and easy to clean, used for stretching, yoga, Pilates, and other training, providing members with a comfortable and safe training surface.

    2. Fitness Balls: 3 - 5 pieces. Fitness balls with a diameter of 65 - 75 cm can be used for balance training, core activation, auxiliary stretching, etc., enriching training methods and increasing members' interest in training.

    3. Resistance Bands: 2 - 3 sets. Resistance bands of different resistance levels are lightweight and easy to carry, which can increase training difficulty, exercise muscle strength and endurance, and are convenient to store without occupying too much space.

IV. Auxiliary Equipment

    1. Audio Equipment: 1 set. Including small speakers and Bluetooth connection devices, which can play music to create a good exercise atmosphere and enhance members' fitness experience.

    2. Fitness Mirror: 1 piece. Helps members observe their movement postures, correct them in time, improve training effects, and also has the effect of expanding space visually.

    3. Lockers: 5 - 8 units. Provide space for members to store personal items such as clothes and backpacks. Wall-mounted or small floor-mounted lockers can be chosen to save floor space.

    4. Floor Mats: Cover the entire gym floor. For strength training and free training areas, shock-absorbing and non-slip floor mats with a thickness of 1 - 2 cm can be selected to protect the floor and members' joints; for cardio training areas, relatively thinner floor mats that focus more on anti-slip performance can be used.

    5. Ventilation Equipment: Install 1 - 2 exhaust fans to keep indoor air circulation, reduce stuffiness, and allow members to exercise in a comfortable environment. If conditions permit, a small fresh air system can be considered for installation.

    6. Air Conditioning Equipment: Select air conditioners with appropriate power according to the actual area and space structure of the gym to adjust the indoor temperature, ensuring members can exercise comfortably, especially in hot summers and cold winters.
