Why is air conditioning important for fitness centres?
Gym and fitness centre air conditioning is important for keeping customers cool and ensuring good air quality. People generally feel more comfortable in a workout space with climate control as it helps them to cool down quickly after getting hot and sweaty whilst exercising.
Active environments can also get quite humid due to extra moisture in the air, not just from sweat, but also from showers, pools and saunas. Installing an AC system can help reduce humidity.
Norton Air Conditioning can provide tailored commercial cooling for gyms and other fitness centres, advising on the best HVAC system to meet the requirements of any space, big or small.
Common fitness centre air conditioning systems
01
Multi-split AC
A multi-split air conditioning system is a good option if you have multiple rooms or floors in your fitness centre that require individual temperature control. It consists of a single large outdoor unit and multiple indoor units to cool the premises.
02
Ducted/HVAC
HVAC or ducted systems can provide effective cooling, heating and air quality solutions for gyms and fitness centres. Multiple units are connected by ductwork, which is hidden in the ceiling, offering a more aesthetically pleasing option.
03
Heat pump
The most energy efficient and environmentally friendly fitness centre air conditioning option is a heat pump system, which draws on natural sources such as the outside air, water or ground to heat and cool a building.
