Case Study

Recently, we were contacted by a new Retro Fitness owner to assist with providing a mezzanine / cardiodeck for the latest Retro Fitness in the NJ area. The Mezzanine Company had previously worked on mezzanines for over a dozen Retro Fitness locations. This new facility would include the many amenities that Retro Fitness is known for, like a smoothie bar, a cardio movie theatre, tanning booths, and much more.

In order to provide these amenities, Retro Fitness would need to maximize the space at their new location. They decided the best way to do this was to include a large cardio deck in their plans for their new facility.

Some special consideration of this project would be:

1.    Integrating the mezzanine with the existing architecture plans for the new location since there were going to be bathrooms and locker rooms under the cardio platform

2.    Designing the mezzanine for movement caused by exercise equipment

Working closing with the general contractor and the architect for the project, The Mezzanine Company provided a proposal for an approximate 2,000 square foot custom mezzanine / cardiodeck.

The mezzanine would include 2 straight IBC stairs and wire mesh handrail. The mezzanine was custom designed to handle the deflection from the exercise machines.

Once the proposal was approved and drawings were ready, our project managers visited the new location to review the drawings and make final adjustments.

After careful planning between all parties, the mezzanine was delivered and installed at the new location. The installation timing was planned around the rest of the construction, so as to keep the project on schedule. The new cardio deck enhanced Retro Fitness’ workout experience by creating valuable additional space for their new exercise equipment
