Large HVLS Gym Fans are Raising the Bar Stay Cool while Breaking a Sweat
When it comes to gyms, fitness centers, and other recreation facilities, the importance of airflow cannot be overstated. Maintaining a comfortable, even gym environment is essential. Studies suggest that the best temperature in which to work out is between 68-72 degrees. Considering seasonal temperature variation, it can be incredibly difficult to maintain that ideal temperature year-round. Overheating can easily lead to heat exhaustion and other temperature-related maladies. And in the simplest of terms, an uncomfortable environment can be a reason why a guest might decide to permanently leave a fitness facility.
Air circulation can benefit gyms in other ways as well. Proper airflow will dramatically increase the rate at which moisture evaporates and can reduce unpleasant odors (both of which are all too common in gyms and recreation facilities). Air circulation can reduce the spread of sickness in a facility, a phenomenon known as “Sick Building Syndrome.”
Installing ceiling fans is an effective and cost-saving way to make your gym safer, healthier, and more comfortable. There are a few things to consider when deciding between different fan options. The size of the building, the number of occupants, and the overall style are all important factors. What fan is best for your gym? Continue reading to learn more.
High-Volume, Low-Speed Fans
Depending on the size of your gym or recreation facility, High-Volume, Low-Speed (HVLS) fans may be the perfect option. HVLS fans are LARGE, running between 7 and 24 feet in diameter. These fans will generate tremendous airflow and circulation all throughout your gym. HVLS fans spin at a lower rate than standard residential ceiling fans, but their size means that they move a high volume of air, effectively destratifying the air in your facility. We have a selection of industrial HVLS fans for your choice.
HVLS fans generate a perceived cooling effect of up to TEN DEGREES, meaning that the environment in your gym or recreation facility will feel substantially cooler for visitors and employees. These fans will also lessen the effects of moisture in the environment by increasing the evaporation rate.
Commercial Gym Fans
For more confined gyms or fitness facilities, commercial ceiling fans may be the right option. Commercial ceiling fans deliver airflow and durability that is superior to standard home ceiling fans, while also maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic. All of this, while also being able to fit in tighter spaces than HVLS ceiling fans.
The Diamond commercial ceiling fan fits this mold perfectly. Built with a commercial-grade motor and aluminum blades, Diamond works where comfort is as important as style and durability.
