TL;DR

VERVE Fitness offers a completely free 3D gym design service for any project — from a single-car garage home gym to a 2,000sqm commercial facility. You send your floor plan, their design team creates a photorealistic 3D render showing equipment placement and layout, and you get a finalised design with a full equipment list and quote. Over 16,000 fitouts completed. No cost, no obligation.

Why a Professional Gym Design Matters

Most people don't think about gym design until they're standing in a room full of equipment that doesn't fit properly. The rack is too close to the wall for plate loading. The bench can't recline because it hits the cable machine. The dumbbells are stored in a corner nobody can reach during peak hours. There's no clear path from the entrance to the training floor.

These problems are expensive to fix after the fact — you're moving heavy equipment, potentially damaging flooring, and wasting space that could have been used productively.

Professional gym design solves all of this before you buy a single piece of equipment. It considers:

• Traffic flow: How people move through the space during busy periods
• Equipment spacing: Minimum clearances for safety and comfortable use
• Ceiling height constraints: Matching equipment to your actual vertical space
• Power and utilities: Where treadmills, bikes, and cable machines need to go relative to power outlets
• Zoning: Separating free weights from machines from cardio from stretching areas
• Storage: Where plates, dumbbells, kettlebells, and accessories live when not in use
• Line of sight: For commercial gyms — staff need to see the whole floor from the reception area

Who Is This Service For?

VERVE's 3D design service is available to anyone planning a gym project. The team has designed layouts for:

Commercial Gyms

Independent gyms, 24/7 facilities, boutique studios. The design team has done over 16,000 commercial fitouts and understands the unique requirements — member flow, equipment density, ventilation considerations, and commercial compliance requirements.

PT Studios and Personal Training Spaces

Small studios (50-150sqm) need careful planning to maximise usable training space. A well-designed PT studio can fit a Wall Mounted Folding Squat Rack, a Tori Wall Mounted Functional Trainer, a bench or two, and a functional training area in surprisingly little space.

CrossFit Boxes and Functional Fitness Gyms

Rig placement, lifting platforms, wall ball targets, pull-up bar heights, and open floor space for metcons. These spaces have specific layout needs that generic gym designs miss.

Allied Health and Physio Clinics

Clinic gyms need to balance equipment variety with accessibility, supervision lines, and patient flow from treatment rooms to the training floor. The design team has done numerous allied health fitouts and understands these requirements.

Home Gyms

Whether it's a single-car garage, a double garage, a spare bedroom, or a dedicated shed, VERVE's design team will create a layout that maximises your space. This is especially valuable for garages with odd dimensions, low ceilings, or shared-use requirements (gym + car storage).

Corporate and Office Gyms

Workplaces adding a staff gym. These spaces often have restrictions around noise (above or below office floors), power availability, and building management requirements.

Schools, Universities, and Sports Facilities

Institutional settings with specific safety requirements, budget constraints, and multi-user considerations. VERVE's equipment is used by professional sports teams including the Brisbane Broncos, Gold Coast Titans, Manly Sea Eagles, NSW Waratahs, Fremantle Dockers, Brisbane Roar, Western United, and St George Dragons.

How the Process Works

Step 1: Submit Your Floor Plan

You provide your space dimensions. This can be as simple as a hand-drawn sketch with measurements, a PDF architect's plan, or even photos of the empty room with dimensions noted. The more detail you provide, the more accurate the design.

Key information to include:

• Room dimensions (length, width, ceiling height)
• Door and window locations
• Power outlet locations
• Any structural obstructions (pillars, beams, garage door tracks)
• Flooring type (concrete, timber, tile)

Step 2: Share Your Goals and Budget

Tell the design team what you want to achieve. Are you building a strength-focused home gym? A commercial facility with a mix of free weights and machines? A PT studio? A clinic gym? Do you have a budget range? What equipment do you already own?

This conversation helps the team recommend the right mix of equipment for your goals and space.

Step 3: Receive Your 3D Design

The design team creates a photorealistic 3D render of your gym. This shows exactly where each piece of equipment sits, how much clearance exists around each station, and how the space flows. You can visualise the finished gym before spending a cent on equipment.

The design includes:

• 3D render from multiple angles
• Equipment placement with model names
• Clearance and spacing verification
• Flooring layout

Step 4: Revisions and Finalisation

Want to swap a machine? Move the rack to the other wall? Add flooring? The team revises the design until you're happy. There's no cap on revisions and no charge at any stage.

Step 5: Equipment List and Quote

Once the design is finalised, you receive a complete equipment list with current pricing. This gives you a single document with everything you need to order, making budgeting straightforward. You're under no obligation to purchase from VERVE — the design service is free regardless.

What Makes VERVE's Design Service Different

• 16,000+ fitouts: This isn't a side project — it's a core service with a dedicated team and massive experience across every type of facility.
• Genuinely free: No deposit, no obligation, no catch. VERVE earns your business by demonstrating expertise, not by locking you into a quote.
• Equipment expertise: The design team knows every product in the VERVE catalogue — dimensions, weight, power requirements, and practical considerations that aren't on any spec sheet.
• Scalable: The same service handles a $3,000 garage gym and a $500,000 commercial fitout.

Examples of Space-Efficient Equipment Choices

The design team often recommends these space-efficient solutions:

• Wall Mounted Folding Squat Rack: Folds to 10cm off the wall when not in use. 75x75x3mm steel. Ideal for shared-use garage gyms.
• Tori Functional Trainer Rack: Combines a power rack and functional trainer in one footprint — eliminates the need for a separate cable machine.
• Tori Wall Mounted Functional Trainer: Zero floor footprint. Wall-mounted dual cable unit.
• Commercial Half Rack: Smaller footprint than a full rack, still 75x75x3mm steel with full attachment compatibility.

FAQ

Is the 3D design service really free?

Yes. No deposit, no obligation, no hidden costs. You receive a full 3D design and equipment list at no charge. You're not required to purchase from VERVE.

How long does the design process take?

Turnaround depends on complexity and current workload, but most designs are completed within a few business days. Simple home gym layouts can be faster. Commercial fitouts with multiple revisions take longer.

Can I use the design but buy equipment elsewhere?

The design will feature VERVE equipment (naturally), but you're under no obligation to purchase. That said, the design is built around specific VERVE product dimensions and clearances — substituting different brands may affect the layout accuracy.

Do you design for spaces outside Australia?

VERVE is expanding into the US market with a Dallas-Fort Worth warehouse. If you're in the US, reach out via vervefitness.com to discuss design options.

I already own some equipment. Can you design around it?

Absolutely. Let the design team know what you already have (brand, model, dimensions) and they'll incorporate it into the layout alongside any new VERVE equipment.
