A gym in a development — a hard number, not a soft benefit
Analysis of the new-build market shows that flats in developments equipped with a fitness and wellness zone sell faster and at a higher price — the difference is 3% to 8% of the unit value.
On a £250,000 flat, that’s £7,500–£20,000 extra. A Gym Box serves the whole development as a one-off cost (see the prices in the FAQ) — the uplift on a handful of units covers the facility for everyone.
What does a fitness zone bring to a development?
➜ Competitive edge — a differentiator against similar projects in the area ➜ Faster sales — buyers more willingly choose developments with amenities ➜ Higher prices — a premium for ready, complete lifestyle infrastructure ➜ Satisfied residents — lower turnover, better reputation for the developer ➜ Marketing material argument — a specific value, not a generic claim
Why a Gym Box and not a room in the building
A gym inside a residential block takes a unit you could sell, and it needs acoustic isolation so the neighbours above don’t hear every dropped weight. A Gym Box stands in the courtyard, the garden or the grounds of the development:
➜ No sellable floor space used for the gym ➜ No noise in the flats — the module is freestanding and insulated ➜ Built in parallel with your construction — in our workshop, not on your site ➜ A visible amenity — glazing, lighting and a facade that match the scheme
What does a developer Gym Box look like?
A fitness zone in a multi-residential development differs from a hotel gym. Key requirements:
- Ease of use — no need for permanent supervision, intuitive equipment
- Durability — commercial equipment for intensive daily use by many residents
- Aesthetics — a facade in line with the standard of the development
- Safety — good ventilation, non-slip flooring, access control, optional monitoring
For a 60–120 unit development we usually suggest a Gym Box 7×5 (35 m²) or a custom or combined module of 40–70 m², with 8–12 cardio and strength machines. For larger schemes see the Residential GymBox with changing rooms, WC and showers.
Working with developers — operating model
- Design stage — we agree the module’s position, foundation and power supply with your architect
- Construction stage — the module is produced in our workshop in Pawłów, Poland, while you build; on site it is installed in 1–2 days once the foundation is ready
- Handover — your Gym Box is ready 12 weeks from the deposit, so we can time delivery for building handover or the show-flat opening
We issue one invoice for the whole — no need to coordinate several suppliers.
