Madonna’s Hard Candy Leads the Way
Today’s condo gym is one of the most popular amenities within a condo building and a requirement for many condo buyers.
A condo gym with minimal and poorly maintained equipment in a windowless, badly-lit and unappealing space is not a valued amenity. Such poorly equipped and badly designed spaces do not get used and detract from the quality lifestyle of a building. Poorly planned or badly maintained amenities can result in lower resale value.
Condo residents do not want a barely usable facility. They want a facility that is modern, inviting and enjoyable.
Condo developers have recognized the attraction of exercise centres as being an important part of condo life. Some developers now encourage private facilities to locate within a development. This has the triple benefit of attracting condo buyers, drawing renters and providing the private facility with a stable clientele. A dynamic exercise centre offers an important lifestyle enhancement.
Condo owners want a healthy environment combined with convenience. Socialization is an important consideration as is a unique and enjoyable experience.
