As a gym design consultancy, we advise on hotel gym, residential gym, home gym and office gym design while our fitness consultant role leverages healthy building strategies and sustainable design to create inspiring fitness spaces with modern gym interior design that offer physical and mental health benefits.
We can work with various gym concepts, including eco-friendly gyms, luxury villa gyms, and boutique hotel gyms. We specialise in advising on the optimal gym layout, floor plan and interiors for a particular gym space based on user demographics, industry trends and available budget.
outdoor gym designer fitness consultancy
As a fitness consultant and interior design company working with hotels, residential developments and fitness center, we consider the floor plan and outdoor gym layout as well as shade structures; storage solutions; sound system; weather-proof flooring; lighting and class programming to activate the outdoor gym once launched.
We are experts in outdoor gym space and facility design for beach, garden, forest, or even bush locations. Choosing the right balance of machines, accessories and outdoor gym floor requires specific experience in order to avoid something that quickly starts to appear shabby. We want your outdoor gym space to last as long as possible!
wellness interior designers
We offer wellness space floor plan design and wellness interior design services for yoga studios, meditation rooms and spa recovery rooms for clients from the coliving, residential, office and hotel sectors.
When acting as yoga studio designers, meditation room designers and basketball court designers, we look to integrate concepts such as biophilic design, healthy non-toxic materials, curated playlists, wellness content apps, injury management and more into our wellness room concepts.
fitness equipment selection gym consultancy
When collaborating with architects or interior design studios, our fitness consultant role focuses on the initial gym layout, floor plan and equipment zoning by training concept, then selecting equipment for the future gym fit out from local suppliers in line with budget allocation and market positioning.
We also source specialist fitness equipment suppliers that offer customization of colours and finishes in order to create a unique gym floor plan aligned with the client’s branding and the surrounding aesthetics. No matter whether it is a personal trainer gym, home gym, hotel gym or residential gym, we have you covered.
health fitness consultants
In addition to our gym designer services, we advise fitness club, coliving operators, residential developers and hotel gym owners on the latest smart tech, group fitness classes; gym music streaming services; gym virtual training software; fitness brand partnerships; fitness industry trend analysis; fitness influencers; personal trainers, strategic partnerships with wellness brands and more.
As an experienced fitness business consultant, it’s not just about the basic principles of a gym floor plan, gym layout or fitness equipment list but expert guidance on the 360-degree user experience to ensure your dream facility delivers day after day.
LEISURE SPACE DESIGN CONSULTANTS
From sports bars, to e-gaming rooms, indoor basketball courts and kids play areas, there is a common thread of playfulness to the leisure spaces we design and advise on.
We source everything from ping pong tables, to giant chess, table football, games consoles, and more for real estate developments, hotels and resorts looking to add an innovative leisure space to their offer.
sustainable gym advisory
In addition to our fitness consultant and gym planner services, via our sister company Biofilico we deliver sustainability advisory services for gyms, fitness studios and gym equipment brands. So while home gym owners can of course implement certain sustainable design, the real impact comes from doing so in commercial gyms and spas.
Our fitness business consultancy services include sustainability plans aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and benchmarks in Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) covering materials, energy, waste, water, indoor air quality, employee wellness, green building certifications and annual reports.
designing green healthy buildings like a good ancestor
The gyms and wellness spaces we design and advise on at Biofit are one part of a far wider ecosystem of facilities, operations and services that make up the world of ‘green healthy buildings’. In January 2024 company founder Matt Morley gave a TEDx talk in London on how it all fits together.
Biofit’s parent company Biofilico delivers wellness interior design across a range of market segments, from hotels, to offices and residences while our strategic advisory arm, Green Healthy Places, provides green building and healthy building advisory services.

biohacking, recovery & longevity in spa design
What is a designer bath house? Does it make sense to have a float tank in your luxury home gym? What are the health benefits of ice baths? Is there more commercial value in a Cryotherapy chamber or a Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber Therapy in a resort spa context?
Executives in the fitness industry are asking us all this, as well as personal trainers, hotel managers and residential real estate developers. We now provide guidance on how to create recovery rooms in both commercial and residential settings, expanding our role as fitness consultants to cover this component of wellness too.
