Why Gyms Should Hire Air Con (during Fixed System Servicing & Maintenance)

After Team GB's Olympic success this year it was hoped by the Government that part of the

Olympic legacy would be an increase in the number of people getting fit and generally taking

better care of their health; the benefits of which are massive.

Taking regular exercise can help to:

Stimulate the body's own natural maintenance and repair system

Maintain a healthy heart, as well as bones, joints and muscles

Improve body strength and stamina

Protect the body from developing heart disease, strokes, high blood pressure, breathlessness, low energy levels, stiff joints, bone problems, poor posture and obesity

Develop suppleness flexibility in the muscles in the neck, spine and joints prevents sprains or pulled muscles and tendons

That all sounds great, but gym memberships can be expensive. And with money being tight for most people due to the double-dip recession, signing up at their local state-of-the-art leisure centre and gym can seem more like an indulgence than a necessity. Perhaps this explains the growing popularity of pay-as-you-go gyms, and gyms that offer flexible price plans (that include no upfront membership fees, for example).

But whether a gym is cheap and cheerful or high end, users expect to work out in a comfortable temperature. Sufficient air conditioning in areas where users work up a sweat (and where their body temperature has risen due to cardiovascular workouts) is essential, therefore. The good news for gym managers is that hiring air conditioning for gyms through a good air con hire company is easy, quick and affordable to do.

According to figures sourced from the State of the Industry Report produced by the Leisure

Database Company, there are 6000 fitness clubs in the UK (4000 of which are public sector and 2,000 are private sector).

According to BBC News, users base their gym buying decision on five key factors (not in order):

Cost

Convenience

Quality of environment

Atmosphere

Hygiene

Trend is also a key determinant for users, but even then, the coolest must-join gym on the planet can struggle to attract and retain members if membership fees are simply too high.

The International Fitness Association recommends the aerobics, cardio, weight training and

Pilates areas at a leisure centre should be at about 18-20oC. That might sound high when the UK winter temperature drops, but with a semi-sealed environment and lots of people exercising, the temperature can rise quickly. Therefore this is not just a summer problem (although, obviously, additional strain may be put on in-built air con units in summer, to maintain the same temperature).

Even the most expensive air conditioning fixed system needs to be serviced occasionally. And there is not an air con system in the world that can be absolutely relied upon never to breakdown (and therefore need urgent maintenance).

Leasing air con units during planned or unplanned fixed system servicing and maintenance is the cost-effective option for gyms of all sizes across the country, for numerous reasons:

Most gyms have long opening hours 6am-10/11pm; so fitting in general maintenance can be difficult. Temporarily hiring-in air con solves this problem

Experienced air con personnel will know which unit will best serve this particular application

Clients can always receive the newest models available

Units will always be serviced before being released to clients

The units are mobile and so can be easily moved around a gym/leisure centre as required

There are no long-term storage issues

Rented air con units can be used seasonally, e.g. when temperatures rise in summer, and/ or when an increase in custom is expected (e.g. after the launching of a Special Offer/ a time-limited discount)

And, crucially, there is no capital expenditure involved, meaning leisure centre and gym managers need not wait for approval from facility owners before buying in the temporary air conditioning they need.
