How to Design a Commercial Gym Using Impulse Equipment

Designing a commercial gym requires a strategic layout, quality equipment selection, and an understanding of member needs. Impulse Fitness offers a wide range of durable, modern, and high-performance machines that make the planning process easier. Here’s how you can design an efficient and attractive commercial gym using Impulse equipment:

1. Identify Your Gym Concept & Target Users

Start by defining the type of gym you want to build — corporate gym, hotel gym, studio gym, or full commercial fitness center. Each concept requires different equipment selections and space planning.

2. Plan Your Gym Layout by Zones

A professional gym layout must include:

• Cardio Area – Treadmills, bikes, ellipticals (Impulse AC series, RT series, etc.)

• Strength Area – Selectorized machines (IF, IT, and SL series)

• Free Weight Zone – Benches, racks, dumbbells

• Functional Training Zone – Rigs, racks, cable systems

• Stretch/Recovery Zone

Impulse Fitness offers equipment for every zone, helping you build a complete and balanced facility.

3. Choose the Right Impulse Equipment Series

Each Impulse series fits different gym levels:

• IF Series – Budget-friendly, durable, ideal for hotels, corporates, and medium gyms

• IT Series – Premium design, ergonomic, suitable for commercial chains

• SL/SLT Plate-Loaded Series – For performance training and heavy lifters

• AC Cardio Series – Ideal for high-traffic cardio areas in commercial gyms

4. Ensure Safety, Space Efficiency & Member Flow

Impulse machines are designed with compact footprints, making it easier to:

• Avoid overcrowding

• Provide clear walking paths

• Maintain correct distance between machines

• Comply with safety requirements

5. Add Digital Features for a Modern Gym

Consider integrating:

• Smart cardio consoles

• Workout tracking systems

• LED interfaces (available on selected Impulse models)

These features improve member experience and modernize your gym.

6. Work With an Authorized Impulse Distributor

To ensure smooth installation and proper planning:

• Consult with an Impulse Fitness expert

• Request a 2D/3D layout design

• Ensure warranty coverage and after-sales support
