Secrets
to Gymnastics Gym Design

SALE $29.95
The current level of gymnastics facility design lags well behind the
available equipment and technology. We are all aware of the reason
for this – limited finances. Gyms and gym owners have often been
limited in their initial financing and gym design has suffered as a result.
We Know You’re Not Made of Money
The most common scenario for gym ownership is a working coach
to go out on their own after a number of years in a relatively low paying
coaching position. Sometimes they receive financial backing from
parents and sometimes not. Anyway, the average gym starts out with
minimal financing
Bigger is Probably Better
There has been a trend toward increasing the size of the average gymnastics
facility. Gymnastics facilities have reached sizes not contemplated
a few decades ago. It is not at all uncommon now to see gymnastics
facilities in 25,000 square foot and larger sizes which was unheard of
in earlier eras. Unfortunately that extra space most often is used
for just more of the same old gymnastics equipment. Other than a
very few limited equipment innovations, there have been few design improvements
and even fewer design concept improvements in the last 25 years.
Design
Both the Building and the Gym Layout
Both building
design considerations and equipment layout design concepts should be considered
when designing a gym. The same design concepts may be applied to
a new building or in laying out or re-laying out an existing facility.
Covering
All Aspects of Gym Design
Designing
the ideal gymnastics facility requires covering all spects of gym design
and equipment layout.
Design a
Facility Suitable for Preschoolers Thru Elites
Design unique
special training areas for each one of your gymnastics programs.
Designing
the Correct Size Building for your Gymnastics Program
You can build
a World Class facility in either small (7000 sq.ft and up), medium (15,000
sq. ft. and up) or large (25,000 sq.ft. and above). Build the correct
size facility for your program
Design Program
Can Earn Your Investment Back
Design using
financial building concepts that can earn back your investment. Gym
owners need to build the best for less. Reduce your building expenses.
Adapt Your
Design for All Levels
Design your
facility from the top down or from the bottom up. The main design
may begin with a design primarily for a team program or the preschool level
or design equally for all programs.
Design Your
Facility So Your Gymnasts Learn Faster
Design a facility
that allows your gymnasts to learn more skills in less time.
Carefully Plan and Research
As the largest and most important investment of your gymnastics business,
a considerable amount of research and strategic planning should go into
the design of your facility.
Utilize the New Equipment That is Available
There have been a number of new pieces of gymnastics training equipment
invented and/or popularized. Tumble trampolines have become a common
gymnastics training tool. Power tumbling floors, now using
fiberglass rods, have also become a common tumbling training tool.
New for You
Other new pieces of equipment include Trench pits for training bar
skills, specifically reverse hechts. Gym-Trix spring-loaded balance
beams are another innovation that allows for more take-off power and landing
give for beam training.
Be Glad You Don’t Have To Move All Your Equipment Every Day
Before the introduction of the spring floor, the equipment companies
had a fold out floor exercise mat, equipment transporters were almost always
part of an equipment sale and some gyms even had to resort to dragging
their one set of regulation mats around with them from event to event.
Design to Avoid Wasting Coach’s and Gymnast’s Time
To avoid wasting valuable practice time for both gymnasts and coaches,
design your gym to avoid wasting their time.
