What would you like to see in a fitness studio?
I am designing a fitness studio and am looking for some cool idea. What are things you always missed having in one? What are your favorites in existing ones? And what would you improve?
Rowing machines. Some people look for a toned body and all muscles exercised rather than bulking up.

More and smaller class sizes. Being in the back row with 25 other people makes it tough to see the instructor.
And pay attention to the lighting; every place I’ve been to has so much glaring fluorescent lighting. Create a little atmosphere.

A real, olympic sized pool. A real running track (like the one at Bally’s in Clear Lake/Webster, TX). Clean toilets, sinks, showers etc. Enough lockers. Fewer people who want to talk to me when I am working out.

space
Don’t cram in so much that you don’t have room to use the equipment, and leave room for people to stretch and skip.
Roman chair and weighted row, people don’t work their lower back enough
press up handles and a couple of step aerobic steps
swiss ball
heavy bags
full set of dumbells

This is the martial arts section, not the health club adviser. Why ask here? Martial arts are about learning self-defense.
