Room temperature for fitness facility
Posted by Jennifer from Dallas, UT, US on June 10, 2007

What is the best temperature for a fitness room used for both cardio and weight training?

It seems that this particular sparks a lot of debate among owners and operators. However, 68 degrees is the acceptable standard in our industry. I’ve worked on several projects for new facilities where the mechanical engineer will recommend up to 76 degrees. 76 degrees is pretty standard in an office building, but a fitness/health club is a unique environment with many more considerations. Anything over 70 degrees in a cardio/strength area is way too high.
