Continental Sports helps gymnastics clubs throughout the country to optimise the layout of their training facilities.  When designing gymnastic training facility layouts a huge number of aspects must be considered, from physical dimensions of the gymnastics equipment to the safe run-offs necessary and the clear height needed above the various apparatus.

If you are considering new premises for an existing gym, or an entirely new venture our experienced team would be pleased to visit your proposed new premises with you to undertake a survey and work up a safe layout that provides the opportunities for all the activities you require, whether that is a focus on high performance gymnastics, recreational gymnastics or early years gym and play.

Customers often find it useful to look at other gym layouts for inspiration and we are pleased to set out below a selection of gyms that we have fitted out in recent years.  We have ordered them by descending size of the floor area so you can easily find a comparable size facility to the one you are considering.  If you use these drawings as the basis for a preliminary sketch we would be pleased to work that up as a Computer Aided Design layout.
