Designing the Gym from the ground up...

This time of year is normally a full switch from the summer outdoor weather to getting the house ready for the indoor exercise season.  It also involves getting the kids settled into their school schedules, which settles the adult schedule as well.  

And let's be serious, there's been a housing boom as well, and a little-known fact is that over 20% of major fitness equipment purchases are made when a home is either moved into or redesigned. 

And this is where we really come in.  ConnectFit is not a typical shop to buy a dumbbell, we specialize in Gym Design. Complete with CAD, flooring, over 500 trainer partners and 200 design partners (so far), and over 20 different brands we work with to create the right workout but also the right feel.  We are more than just the showplace for new fitness technology, we are also *THE* place to go for Gym Design.

And there is a lot more to this than people can imagine since the basics of flooring and electrical supply and structural support needed is only the beginning.  The biomechanics of dumbbell handle and size, the differential in cushioning between treadmill brands, and all these minutiae are critical, and we haven't even gotten into the look and feel of a room, based on choice of substances and the design of equipment.

So whether you are optimizing the space in a BackBay Condo in Boston, Redoing the Basement in the Suburbs or the Cape, or trying to build a fitness amenity in your building, let our decades of experience and expert partnerships be your guide.  We'll help shape the space to be a refuge for fitness and a place of positivity, not just a black pit of physical drudgery. Let us help.
