Fitness Services

Studio & gym design, built to last.

From a 2,500 SF spin studio to a 30,000 SF wellness center — programming, finishes, and MEP for fitness-specific use.

Boutique Studio Design

Spin, yoga, HIIT, pilates, and barre — sprung floors, mirrors, sound iso, and the right HVAC for hot-room or cold-plunge.

Strength & Cardio Floors

Impact-resistant flooring, equipment-load engineering, and noise-floor planning for cardio-to-spin adjacency.

Locker Rooms & Showers

Wet-area vapor barriers, dissimilar-metal isolation, slope-to-drain, and finish specs that survive year three.

Sound Isolation

STC-rated partitions, isolated framing, and ceiling assemblies so a spin class doesn't bleed into yoga next door.

HVAC & Air Quality

Hot-room ventilation, recovery-room dehumidification, and air-quality strategies for high-occupancy classes.

Finishes & FF&E

Anti-microbial paint, urethane-coated concrete, sealed grout, and equipment specification.

How It Works

Five phases. One schedule.

Design and construction on a single timeline — owner decisions feed into drawings, and field issues feed back the same week.

Discovery

Site walk, programming, and budget alignment with stakeholders.

Concept

Test fits and SD-level drawings with parallel cost validation.

Documentation

Permit and CD sets coordinated with MEP, structural, and trades.

Permitting

Jurisdictional submission and code response across 18 states.

Construction

Architect of record engaged through CA, punch, and CO.

Why Owners Choose Beyond 9

We had a hot-yoga studio next door to a board room and a spin class above. Beyond 9 designed the assemblies — none of those spaces hear each other.

Common Questions

Fitness design questions.

Do you design sprung floors?

Yes — for dance, yoga, pilates, and hot studios. Specifications match the program and equipment loads.

How do you handle sound isolation?

STC-rated partitions, isolated framing, and ceiling assemblies tuned to the adjacency. Spin/yoga/strength side-by-side is solvable with the right details.

What about hot-room HVAC?

Dedicated ventilation, recovery, and dehumidification systems for hot yoga and infrared. We've designed these across multiple chains.

Can you do locker rooms with showers?

Yes — wet-area vapor barriers, slope-to-drain, dissimilar-metal isolation, and antimicrobial finishes that survive long term.

Do you handle climbing walls or specialty equipment?

Yes. Structural backing for climbing walls, rig points, and specialty cardio with equipment-vendor coordination.

How long does a fitness buildout take?

Permit drawings 4-6 weeks, permitting 4-8 weeks, construction 12-20 weeks depending on amenities and locker rooms.
