Many of our clients face the challenge of limited indoor space for fitness facilities. However, the potential for outdoor exercise often remains untapped. By effectively incorporating outdoor spaces into your fitness program, you will cater to a wider range of users who desire fresh air and open spaces. While it's common to see outdoor fitness areas modeled after playgrounds, CrossFit boxes, or military training installations, these approaches may not appeal to everyone. To attract a broader audience, consider creating a more diverse and inviting outdoor experience. When designing outdoor fitness spaces, it's important to think beyond the immediate needs of exercisers. How will the equipment blend with the surrounding architecture and natural landscape? How will the materials withstand the elements over time? By exploring creative and innovative approaches to outdoor fitness, property developers, employers, and fitness facility operators will attract and retain a wider range of constituents. #outdoorfitness #gymdesign #multifamily #hospitality #studenthousing #parksandrec #studentrec #privateclub Mike Kelly, Mark Watterson, Anthony Vennare, Edward Hertzman, David Czerwinski, Brian Kirkbride, Sal Pellegrino, Darren Simoni, Paul Jackson, David Sides, Kevin Ratner, Marc Ezralow, Lawrence B., Gary Mozer, Andy Cutright, Dan T., Joseph Harre, Justin Honas, Mike Flanagan, Chris M., Jeff Laborde, Jeff Dilts, Robert Bowles

By adopting a mixed-bag approach to fitness amenities, residential developers can create communities that promote a comprehensive approach to health and well-being. Diverse Workout Spaces: Create open areas for yoga or group classes, outdoor fitness zones, and well-equipped indoor gyms. Residents can choose based on their interests, promoting inclusivity. Community Fitness: Integrate fitness studios for spinning, Pilates, or dance. This offers diverse exercise options within the community, encouraging residents to explore different forms of physical activity. Outdoor Recreational Areas: Beyond picnics, include sports courts, jogging trails, and cycling paths. These spaces cater to outdoor enthusiasts, fostering a sense of community through shared recreational experiences. Community Engagement: Promote community bonds through fitness challenges, group workouts, and sports leagues. Shared physical activities enhance social connections, creating a healthier and happier community. Flexible Operating Hours: Recognize diverse schedules by offering extended operating hours. This accommodates early risers, night owls, and those with unpredictable work hours. #FitnessFirst #ResidentsFirst #CommunityLiving #RamkyCommunities #RamkyEstates #HyderabadRealEstate
