A Mezzanine Can Take Your Gym To New Heights

In 2016, the total number of memberships at gyms and fitness centers was a hefty 57.25 million. With numbers like that, it is no wonder that we have seen a spike in new gym construction and gym expansions. Often these contemporary styled facilities require layouts that meet a multitude of needs: equipment, restrooms/showers, indoor pools, physical training areas, etc. Steel buildings, with their optimal flexibility in layouts and ease of expansion, have become a leading choice for new gym construction. One of the most innovative and stylish ways to expand these new, contemporary facilities is by incorporating a mezzanine.  Design Components, Inc. is a company that has over 40 years of experience in providing mezzanines and other metal building accessories. 

Design Components’ Mezzanines

When it comes to offering creative space expansion for gyms as well as style, mezzanines provide many benefits. Whether the need is for operational oversight-giving management a full-view to observe team member and client safety, or to offer additional areas for client consultations and physical training, mezzanines provide cost-effective space solutions.  

At Design Components, our heavy duty modular mezzanine structures are engineered and designed with the needs of multiple industries in mind. Equipped with handrails, columns, baseplates and stair access, our mezzanines offer strength and durability meeting all industry standards for safety. Each elevated structure is designed and retrofitted to meet the existing building’s individual construction needs. 

Some of the features that make our mezzanines stand out are:

Finding the Right Mezzanine Fit for Your Gym

While knowing how Design Components’ mezzanines are constructed provides assurance of our strict quality standards, knowing which type of mezzanine is the best fit for a facility helps to assure we meet that business’s unique needs. Often we are contacted with inquires for mezzanines and unless we have exact dimensions it can be difficult to pinpoint which mezzanine type is best for a company’s needs. Offering a wide variety of mezzanine decking however, we are able to meet our clients’ unique needs with better options than most of our competitors.

• Advantech – High quality product that is superior to ordinary plywood and OSB options due to the enhanced strength and moisture resistance.
• ResinDek – High density composite flooring, recommended for mezzanines requiring solid floor subject to heavy loads from the use of heavy equipment.
• Diamond Plate – Steel decking for our second most durable flooring.
• Concrete Flooring – Our most durable type of mezzanine flooring.
