Sports & Fitness Centers
A fitness space has to be open enough to feel energising and private enough that people actually use it. Those requirements arrive at different times of day.
People do not train where they feel watched
Sports and fitness centres promote physical well-being and an active lifestyle. These are dynamic hubs offering a range of facilities and activities to people at every fitness level.
The design tension is constant: glazed studios make a facility feel open and attractive from the floor, and they make a proportion of members avoid the room entirely. Meanwhile projection-based classes and recovery spaces need the room to go genuinely dark.
I-Smart Glass across the fitness floor
I-Smart Glass is embedded with smart film technology, providing comfort and energy efficiency and cutting out 98% of daylight to give total blackout when it is required.
That range is what makes it work here: the same studio is a glazed, visible, inviting room for a strength class and a fully private blacked-out room for a cycle class, a physiotherapy session or a recovery space.

Frequently asked questions
I-Smart Glass cuts out 98% of daylight, giving total blackout in the switched state.
Switching is normally set out on the instructor side, and control can be restricted so the room cannot be switched clear during a session.
The opaque state functions as a rear-projection surface, which suits studios running projection-led classes.
Applied smart film is the retrofit route for glazing that is already installed, so the facility does not need to be re-glazed.
