How to Design a Commercial Gym Using Impulse Equipment

Designing a commercial gym requires a strategic layout, quality equipment selection, and an understanding of member needs. Impulse Fitness offers a wide range of durable, modern, and high-performance machines that make the planning process easier. Here’s how you can design an efficient and attractive commercial gym using Impulse equipment:

1. Identify Your Gym Concept & Target Users

Start by defining the type of gym you want to build — corporate gym, hotel gym, studio gym, or full commercial fitness center. Each concept requires different equipment selections and space planning.

2. Plan Your Gym Layout by Zones

A professional gym layout must include:

  • Cardio Area – Treadmills, bikes, ellipticals (Impulse AC series, RT series, etc.)

  • Strength Area – Selectorized machines (IF, IT, and SL series)

  • Free Weight Zone – Benches, racks, dumbbells

  • Functional Training Zone – Rigs, racks, cable systems

  • Stretch/Recovery Zone

Impulse Fitness offers equipment for every zone, helping you build a complete and balanced facility.

3. Choose the Right Impulse Equipment Series

Each Impulse series fits different gym levels:

  • IF Series – Budget-friendly, durable, ideal for hotels, corporates, and medium gyms

  • IT Series – Premium design, ergonomic, suitable for commercial chains

  • SL/SLT Plate-Loaded Series – For performance training and heavy lifters

  • AC Cardio Series – Ideal for high-traffic cardio areas in commercial gyms

4. Ensure Safety, Space Efficiency & Member Flow

Impulse machines are designed with compact footprints, making it easier to:

  • Avoid overcrowding

  • Provide clear walking paths

  • Maintain correct distance between machines

  • Comply with safety requirements

5. Add Digital Features for a Modern Gym

Consider integrating:

  • Smart cardio consoles

  • Workout tracking systems

  • LED interfaces (available on selected Impulse models)

These features improve member experience and modernize your gym.

6. Work With an Authorized Impulse Distributor

To ensure smooth installation and proper planning:

  • Consult with an Impulse Fitness expert

  • Request a 2D/3D layout design

  • Ensure warranty coverage and after-sales support
