Fitness brands today aren’t just competing on programming or price – they’re competing on the overall experience a customer has when visiting their club. The winners are those that understand their space isn’t just the backdrop to the workout but much more – a business asset, reflection of their brand and a space to create a community.

As the fitness landscape shifts toward more holistic, lifestyle-led experiences, the fitout of your health club or gym becomes one of the most powerful tools in your toolkit – not only for attracting new members but also for assisting in scaling your business with ease.

At Unita, we have worked with some of Australia’s leading fitness and wellness brands to bring their vision to life – including our longstanding partnerships with Revo Fitness and Total Fusion. This is the same thinking that we use when approaching any project: a space is there to do more than just look good – it is a touch point for the brand and should help you grow.

The evolution of fitness brands

The modern gym is no longer a single-purpose facility. It’s a multi-functional, experience-rich environment… part health club, part social hub and part wellness destination. Whether you are looking to incorporate recovery zones, saunas, reformer studios, cafes or retail offerings, your physical footprint has to work harder than ever before.

What separates a good fitout from a great one is how well it is able to support both your operations and your brand vision. Every design detail, material selection and layout should feed into the broader strategy – maximising functionality and longevity of the space, member experience and long-term ROI.

We’ve guided gym operators through this evolution firsthand and, more importantly, we know how to deliver spaces that meet the moment without compromising on quality, timelines or operational flow.

Managing the pace (and pressure) of growth

Opening a new club or upgrading an existing one is no small feat. It’s about hitting critical milestones tied to marketing campaigns, membership launches and operational timelines. High expectations that come from every angle: excited new members, head office, and investors. With every date shift, the pressure can build and impact not just momentum but also revenue.

That’s why having the right fitout partner matters. You need a team who understands the pressure you’re under and knows how to deliver at pace, without compromising on quality. At Unita, we’ve worked with some of Australia’s most recognisable fitness brands – from Core Plus
to Club Lime – and we know what it takes to keep projects moving smoothly while protecting your brand and your bottom line.

Get strategic early – by engaging your fitout partner earlier on in the process, we are able to help bring your design vision to life while also finding smarter, more cost-effective ways to bring it to life. Whether it is value engineering a high-spec finish or sequencing construction around live trading, we solve problems before they can cost you time or money.

From boutique studios to large-format clubs, we scale with you

Whether you’re rolling out a national network or refreshing a flagship site, scalability matters. You need consistency, efficiency and a team that understands how to flex without sacrificing quality.

Unita’s national reach and multi-sector experience means we bring both breadth and depth to your project. From health to retail to hospitality, we understand how different functions interact – and how to design and deliver spaces that meet both brand and operational needs.

Take Revo Fitness, for example – one of Australia’s fastest-growing gym chains. With rapid expansion across the country, they needed a delivery partner who could move quickly without compromising on brand standards. Our team worked across multiple sites to ensure each location met operational requirements and felt unmistakably Revo.

As the fitness sector continues to evolve, the brands that thrive will be the ones that invest in more than just floor space. They’ll invest in experience, in brand and in operational excellence.
