The portfolio is organised by training format, not by manufacturer. That structure helps during planning: a floor rarely needs “many machines” but a sensible mix of groups covering different user groups and training goals.
Cardio
Treadmills, bikes, cross trainers, stair climbers and rowers. For many beginners cardio is the first contact with the floor, and at peak times it determines perceived utilisation – too few machines are noticed faster here than in any other zone.
Selectorized
Pin-loaded machines with guided movement. The entry barrier is low, operation self-explanatory, the injury risk during unsupervised training small. For gyms with a broad audience usually the largest block of the floor.
Plate loaded
Plate-loaded strength machines with biomechanically guided movement and high load capacity. They appeal to experienced trainees and strongly shape the look of a strength area.
Functional, cable machines and free weights
Racks, rigs, turf, cable machines, functional trainers, benches and smith machines. These groups cover free and variable training formats. They need more floor area per trainee than guided machines but serve user groups that would otherwise go elsewhere.
Pilates, accessories and additions
Reformer solutions as a boutique concept or an addition, plus flooring, dumbbells, mats and small equipment. They often decide whether a floor feels finished or improvised.
Frequently asked questions
- How is floor space distributed across the groups?
- That depends on target group, opening hours and concept and is decided during planning. A blanket percentage would be of little help – a 24/7 gym and a physiotherapy practice arrive at very different splits.
- Does every floor need all groups?
- No. Small floors, hotels and corporate fitness often manage with cardio, a compact selectorized circuit and a functional area.
- How many machines does each product world hold?
- The current figures are in the product world comparison; they come straight from the catalogue.
