Fitness equipment

Intent: 

To promote both cardiovascular and muscle-strengthening exercise by providing complimentary access to on-site fitness equipment.

My project has installed multi-station equipment that includes a pull-up bar and a bench press. Can parts 2b and 2d be considered achieved?

Yes, this feature allows for any combination of the muscle-strength training equipment to be provided as long as enough units are provided so that 1% of occupants would be able to use the equipment at any one time.

As a Core & Shell developer, I am unsure who the building tenants will be. How can I determine the number of building occupants in order to pursue this optimization?

Core and Shell projects should base these calculations on the estimated total number of final building occupants or a default occupancy 23 m² [250 ft²] per person. Calculations for additional space types may be found <a href="https://www.usgbc.org/sites/default/files/CS%20Default%20Occupancy%20App... target="_blank">here</a>.

My project has fitness equipment in two separate gym spaces. In order to achieve this feature, can the fitness equipment being provided be spread across two separate spaces?

Yes, as long as these facilities are within the WELL project boundary or within 200 m [656 ft] of the main building entrance.

If you have any additional questions about this feature, please take a look at the WELL knowledge base.
