There are many design considerations when opening or renovating a health club, with decision making frequently based on existing models. While this many be the ‘easy way out', it often leads to costly design and service issues that become evident once the work has been completed. Often the vision of ‘the experience' is not even considered and the ‘little things' that help a health club to function well are overlooked, neglected or completely forgotten.

This lecture will address design, service and staff issues which contribute to the overall functionality of the club. It will provide a number of practical, no or low-cost solutions to commonplace and potential problems, and you will discover how they can help you to reduce current costs, attract new members, retain existing members and design a top-notch facility which functions in harmony.
