Locker Room Essentials

Forget the extra amenities! Do you have enough of the "required" elements in your locker rooms? ACSM provides basic standards and guidelines, and other fitness facility operators share what they use to gauge their locker room needs.

The first thing most of your members do when they enter your fitness center is go to the locker room. Maybe they change, store their belongs in a locker, use the bathroom, wash their hands. Already, they have an impression of your facility - and it isn't if you have fancy soap or a modern color scheme (although those things can be important). They've noticed whether they had enough space to get changed, had a bench to sit on, had a locker that was big enough for all of their things (and to hang a jacket or suit), and whether they had to wait to use the toilet or wash their hands. In other words, the basics. While a luxury locker room is nice, all of the extra amenities in the world won't please your members if they have to crawl over other members just to get to a locker.
