Air conditioning for gyms and leisure
Gyms produce more heat and moisture per square metre than almost any other premises. Studios fill up for classes and empty again, and changing rooms need extract ventilation. We design for peak occupancy and combine cooling with fresh air so the space does not feel stuffy.
Common challenges
- High heat and moisture loads
- Class studios with rapid occupancy changes
- Fresh air for heavy breathing
- Dust and fibres clogging filters
- Long opening hours

Questions from gyms and leisure
How much cooling does a gym need?
Much more than an office of the same size — loads depend on equipment, occupancy and class intensity. A heat load survey is essential.
How often should gym units be serviced?
Every three to six months, as dust and fibres clog filters quickly.
Do gyms need ventilation too?
Yes. Air conditioning controls temperature; fresh air and extract control CO2, moisture and odours.
