Ever come to a space that, though it may be neutral or somehow decorated, feels vaguely off, but you can’t quite put your finger on it?..
As an interior designer, when I walk into a fitness studio, I can’t help but analyze the space, and here are the most common pitfalls I have noticed time and time again.
*Overhead lighting* Some of the studios you will see are lit up like an operating room, some a little more dim, but the truth is, good lighting isn’t just for intimate dinners. Workout spaces must take into account whether reflection in the mirror will be in the client’s favor. Working hard while your mirror is highlighting your every flaw and those dark under-eye shadows? From a functionality point of view, part of the work is often done supine - lying on the back position, this is when your clients really struggle getting blasted with downward watts, and not surprisingly, where lighting overall is an afterthought - dimmers are often overlooked too. Fix your lighting, and your social media engagement will grow naturally. >>> swipe for more
