You can use this brand names in order to make your gym popular amongst the fitness and gym enthusiast. The placement of these products should be in a way that any new member who comes to gym and gets attracted to buying these products.

#07 – Perfect Lay-out of customer travel
The layout should be properly planned. When a customer enters a gym, he should have a point of contact where he can be clear with the doubts that he has in his mind. Reception with the lobby and then the gate with nice air-conditioner as well as purifier with the workout area is recommended here. Toilets should not be kept before the workout area and either should be considered to be placed on the sides of the doors. Also the flooring should be of the material that makes sure that the noise of dumbbells couldn’t reach the floors below and cause harassment. Also the walls and ceilings should also be made sound proof so that the sound of music and members doesn’t go out of the gym and make your gym seem away from the world to avoid complaints from the neighbors.
