CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW TO SEE THE LAYOUT OF THE FITNESS CENTER:
 
 
We had 2000 square foot of space , and Anita asked for $100,000 budget for the equipment (this did not include flooring, mirrors, 2 television sets for the cardio equipment, and a television set for the cardio room with a variety of fitness videos (yoga, stretching, plyometrics, balance balls, step and power cardio), or Cardio Vision for each piece of cardio equipment.
 
She interviewed 7 different vendors to compare prices and quality of commerical grade fitness equipment. Anita chose mostly Mattrix equipment because it was a excellent strong equipment and the vendor was local and had a 3 year warrenty for parts and labor. Additionally, we did a maintenance contract with the vendor.
