How much does it cost to equip a fitness club
Ranges that make sense: what the budget consists of, where the biggest items lie and what is usually not visible in the initial estimate.

Equipping a club with an area of 350 m2 usually falls in the range of 180 to 260 thousand PLN net, with three zones: group, functional and free weights. A training studio with an area of 80 m2 lands in the range of 60 to 90 thousand. These are ranges, not a fixed price, because ultimately the number of workout stations decides, not the floor area.
The largest single item is free weights. A set of black bumper plates for one platform, meaning two plates each of 10, 15, 20 and 25 kg, is about 2800 PLN at catalogue prices, and a modular barbell rack starts at 4317 PLN. With two platforms and a complete set of PU dumbbells, the strength zone can eat up nearly half of the budget.
The group studio is calculated per station. A step costs 512 PLN, a Comfort mat 369 PLN, an Easy Ball 38 PLN, so one full station comes to about 920 PLN. With twelve stations it comes out to about 11 thousand PLN, and this is the item that is easiest to phase out.
On top of that comes storage, which is the item cut from the estimate first and regretted the soonest. A single-sided mat rack is 1161 PLN, a mat hanger is 316 PLN, a weight plate holder is 149 PLN. A few thousand PLN for the entire room pays off in equipment that does not lie on the floor and does not require replacement after two seasons.
The last thing is the payment method. Facility equipment is most often financed via leasing, so instead of one large sum we discuss an instalment, and we prepare the offer directly in a lease-ready version. The prices given in this text are catalogue prices from tiguar.pl, and for a full facility project we calculate them differently than when purchasing a single unit.
