User safety and smooth circulation are key considerations in our layouts. As a general guideline, we plan a minimum clearance of around 0.6 meters between machines. This allows instructors and members to move freely, adjust equipment, and train simultaneously without interference—especially during high-traffic hours.
Instead of treating pillars as obstacles, we integrate them into the training environment. Depending on the space, pillars can be converted into functional zones for resistance bands, or light accessories. In compact studios, they may also serve as smart storage points. For visual continuity, incorporating pillars into mirror walls is a common solution to maintain an open and balanced look.
At this stage, we focus on delivering clear and precise 2D layout plans that accurately reflect equipment positioning and space allocation. These layouts provide sufficient detail for decision-making and construction planning. If you require further adjustments or a customized layout, our team is always available to support you.

Our plans can include space placeholders for functional areas such as reception zones, changing rooms, or storage, helping you understand the overall spatial balance. That said, our core strength lies in Pilates equipment planning and flow optimization. Detailed interior styling or construction design for these areas is best handled by your interior designer.
