Effective ventilation is critical to a good workout experience. A good gym should motivate and inspire, providing an environment that rivals the open air. When designs fall short, stale air or the uncomfortable feeling of wind blowing around from a badly conceived air conditioning system can easily put customers off returning to the gym. 

The Leo Gym team’s original proposal was for a VRF system, but after visiting the site and assessing the 2,200 sq ft gym area we found a split unit approach would be more effective. This allowed us to make use of the long, thin building’s external walls for pipe runs. 

An impressive domed roof allowed for the use of exposed ductwork, which we were able to match to the aesthetic of the modern, vibrant space.

Leo Gym in Marlow is a state-of-the-art space for beginners and experienced athletes alike. The team needed an air conditioning and ventilation system that matched the environment they were creating, so they came to 361 Degrees for design and installation.
