Our Approach


Design & Development

Working within the constraints of fitness safety and performance, we specify and select environmentally friendly products and suppliers utilizing Green Seal and other USGBC associated organizations as a guideline. The ECOfitness program will ensure that these materials will hold up under the rigors of daily usage and reduce the need for capital improvements in later years.

 

Components include:

  • Flooring
  • Locker Rooms / Lockers
  • Lighting / Sound
  • Laundry Room
  • Exercise Equipment
  • Adhesives / Sealants
  • Paints / Coatings

 

Operational Approach

ECOfitness will ensure that the fitness center operations are focused on energy conservation and the use of "green" products. We strive to educate all of our employees, clients and members on environmentally friendly practices. Our goal... responsible behavior both inside and outside of the workplace.

 

Together we can all make a difference and inspire others!
