Tenants flock to multifamily communities due to the range of additional amenities located on the rental properties. They get to enjoy apartment homes equipped with all the latest features. Another selling point is the communal spaces. More rental communities now offer fitness centers so tenants can keep in great shape without having to travel across the city to the local gym and also saving on membership fees.
For fitness center visitors, tenants want a place where they can change into their fitness clothes and wash off the sweat after their workout. Locker areas, shower rooms, and sanitizing stations provide additional luxuries to make tenants feel refreshed while getting into shape.
Decked Out Locker Rooms
Locker rooms oftentimes feel cramped and uncomfortable as tenants want to get dressed in a hurry and leave so that others can use it. You can make the locker room feel like a place where tenants can change in privacy and wash up in peace. Consider placing individual stalls with curtains so tenants can change and towel off, as well as cubby spaces where they can store their belongings before using the fitness equipment.
Also, you can add the small additional luxuries to complement the space. Towel bars provide places to grab a quick towel to place on shoulders to wipe off sweat while robe hooks offer an area to hang clothing after taking a shower.
The Degas Double Robe Hook allows tenants to hang two items, which adds functionality without taking up too much wall space.
Sanitizing Stations and Washrooms
Placing up signs to remind tenants to wipe off gym equipment after use is one way to decrease the spread of germs. You can also build a place to offer cleaning products, spare towels, and wash sinks so everyone can lend a hand in keeping the fitness room clean and healthy.
When renovating a fitness center, construct a small cleaning station near the equipment area where tenants can access cleaning supplies. The small area can hold disinfectants, cleaning rags, and paper towels. You can also add sinks where tenants can wash up after cleaning the equipment. Installing sensor-activated faucets can provide enormous benefits as tenants can wash hands without touching the fixture to prevent spreading germs.
The Ultra-Sense Battery Powered Sensor Faucets has a sensitive infrared sensor and automatic on/off features to conserve water.
Relaxing Fitness Shower Areas
After the workout, a tenant may want to wash up before going to work or run errands. You can create the ultimate locker room shower experience m to entice tenants to relax muscles and soothe body aches. Make your locker room feel bright and welcoming by adding rain showerheads that send a spray of water from an exposed shower system as the water can envelop the body.
For luxury, high-end multifamily fitness rooms, you want to ramp up the amenities by adding spa-like features. The Water Dance® shower system offers a hand shower, and multiple body sprays in addition to the showerhead fixture. The convenient body sprays can be positioned to help the water massage back, shoulder and neck muscles.
The Dia Exposed Shower/Hand Shower System offers a rain shower fixture as well as an adjustable hand shower to accommodate people of different heights after their workout.
A well-appointed locker room to accompany your fitness center in your multifamily property enhances the health and wellness appeal to your customers. Speak with a Symmons Multifamily expert to learn the latest ideas and trends that will help attract residents to your community.
