gym and wellness FITOUT FAQs
How much does it cost to fit out a gym? Including per square metre?
Gym fitout costs vary depending on the space, equipment requirements, and level of finish. As a guide, many gym fitouts range from $750-$1500 per square metre, while high-end wellness can fall significantly higher depending on finishes and complexity. We’ll provide a detailed cost plan early so you can budget with certainty and avoid surprises.
How long does it take to fit out a gym?
Timelines depend on the size of the facility, building services and council approvals. A boutique fitness studio might take 6-10 weeks, while large commercial gyms or multi-site rollouts can take longer. Involving Unita early allows us to overlap design, procurement and construction, saving time and keeping the program on track.
What’s included in a gym fitout?
A complete gym or wellness fitout can include joinery, flooring, change rooms, spas, saunas, swimming pools, reception and retail areas, as well as services such as air-conditioning, ventilation, fire, plumbing and electrical. We also coordinate acoustic treatments, lighting design and integration with specialist fitness equipment. Our end-to-end fitout approach means everything works together, operationally and aesthetically, from day one.
What’s the difference between a general contractor and a specialist gym fitout company?
A general contractor can manage construction, but a specialist gym fitout company understands the technical and operational challenges of fitness environments, from acoustic separation and vibration control to air flow, amenities and brand experience. At Unita, we’ve delivered gyms and wellness fitouts across Australia, combining design understanding with construction expertise to create spaces that perform under pressure.
How can I design a wellness or yoga studio that feels premium without overspending?
Premium doesn’t always mean expensive, it’s about balance and detail. Choosing the right materials, lighting and layout can elevate the experience without blowing the budget. We collaborate with your designer to value-engineer smart solutions that retain your vision for your space, while keeping costs in check.
How do fitout companies manage acoustic and vibration challenges in gyms?
Noise and vibration are key considerations in any fitness fitout. We use acoustic treatments, isolation flooring and structural coordination to minimise sound transfer to neighbouring tenancies. Early involvement lets us plan these elements from the start, avoiding expensive fixes later.
Can a fitout company help with council approvals or ventilation requirements for gyms?
Yes. Gym construction often involves strict requirements for ventilation, fire services and accessibility. We manage council and certifier approvals on your behalf, working with consultants to ensure your gym meets every compliance standard before you open.
What information do you need to prepare a proposal?
We’ll need your project brief, floor plan (if available), target opening date, and any consultant or landlord documentation. Sharing details like equipment layout, budget and desired finishes early helps us prepare an accurate cost plan and delivery schedule tailored to your fitness fitout.
