City Fitness operates more than 52 gym sites nationwide. Offering competitively priced gym memberships requires vigilance over their own costs, which can quickly escalate in a 24 x 7 operation.

Ecopoint has worked with City Fitness since 2016, on retrofit and new build projects. This project focuses on the green field project at City Fitness Newlands.

City Fitness is actively seeking any opportunity to achieve maximum efficiency and reduce costs across all its sites by:

• Reducing maintenance costs and downtime by installing dependable products from a reliable supplier.

• Lowering energy costs.

• Reducing the business’ carbon footprint.

“Reducing time on maintenance has a huge impact on our bottom line and it doesn’t disrupt our customers as much”, explains Craig Bailey, National Facilities Manager.

Ecopoint developed a customised lighting design for the Newlands site, in close consultation with City Fitness Facility Managers to ensure the correct lighting output in various areas throughout the gym. The Newlands site was refit for lighting throughout the main gym, ride room, group fitness studio, foyer, exterior, offices, and bathrooms, implementing LED solutions throughout. The install was carried out rapidly to meet opening deadlines

City Fitness have been impressed with the increased lifespan of their Ecopoint luminaires, “The old fluoros lasted 8,000 hours. Now we can get 50,000+ hours from a fitting. That has a real impact on maintenance costs and the availability of our gyms to our customers”, says Craig Bailey.
