It's the beginning of a new year, and most of us have turned our thoughts to being healthier and getting more exercise. Modular buildings are incredibly versatile; not only can they be used for extending your office space, but they also have a wealth of other uses, including for leisure facilities to help get us back into shape. Whether you are an existing leisure centre or gym looking to expand your space or a school looking to extend your indoor leisure space, modular buildings could be the right choice for you.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR A MODULAR LEISURE BUILDING

Let's look at some key reasons why a modular building could be the right decision for your leisure or changing facilities. Flexibility – Firstly, the versatility of a modular building and the bespoke options available means that you can ensure that your space is designed precisely for your requirements. Whether you are looking for a gym, a yoga studio, or a dance studio, a modular building from Paragon Space can fulfil your needs.

• Durability - Our buildings are made from high-quality materials that withstand heavy use and all weather conditions.

• Energy efficiency - Modular buildings from Paragon Space are manufactured to the highest standards. They are extremely energy efficient, meaning that you'll also save money whilst reducing your environmental impact.

• Accessibility – Consider the people that will be using your building and make sure that it is accessible for all. We can design your building to include wider doors and ramps to increase access for people who need them.

• Comfort – whether you are sitting at a desk or are in the middle of a workout, comfort is vital. Make sure that your modular building has suitable ventilation and effective heating and cooling systems.

• Aesthetics - Finally, make sure it looks like a space people want to use. Let's face it, we all need as much motivation to exercise as possible, so if your building looks modern and welcoming, people are more likely to want to use it.
  
  WHAT FEATURES SHOULD A MODULAR LEISURE BUILDING INCLUDE?

  Once you've made the decision to increase space for your leisure activities, you'll need to think about what features you want to include within your building. There are a lot of choices to make and many considerations, so you'll need to think about what function you want your modular structure to undertake. Some features that might be included in a modular leisure building are:- Changing rooms – many leisure spaces need areas for people to get changed into workout clothes or swimwear. You'll also need to think about whether showers, sinks and toilets are required. We can install full-flushing toilets and connect your modular building to a water supply and sewage system.

• Storage – you'll need to consider space for storage, whether that be for lockers or storing equipment.

• Fitness equipment – depending on what your building will be used for, you might need to allow space for the use and storage of fitness equipment such as treadmills, cross-trainers, cycling machines, weight machines or free weights.

• Classrooms or studios - If you are going to be using the space for classes or workshops and holding activities such as yoga, dance, or martial arts, you'll need to think about the correct flooring or if you need mirrors, for example. - Lounge or recreation areas - There may be areas for users to relax and socialise, such as a cafe or lounge area, and you may even need to include a reception area.

Office space – whilst your main thought may be about the leisure activities taking place in the area, you may also need office space for staff or administrators to work.

ARE MODULAR LEISURE BUILDINGS WORTH IT?

Whether a modular leisure building is a suitable choice for you depends on your organisation's situation. However, modular leisure buildings can be a cost-effective and efficient option for you when looking to add a leisure facility to your property. Here are some of the benefits to consider:- Speed of construction - Modular buildings can be constructed more quickly than traditional ones, as they are manufactured off-site and assembled on-site.

• Cost-effectiveness - Modular buildings can often be more cost-effective than traditional buildings, as the manufacturing process is typically more efficient, and the materials used are often less expensive. -

• Customisation - Modular buildings can be customised to meet your specific needs and requirements. So your building can meet the requirements of your particular leisure activities. -

• Flexibility - Modular buildings can be easily modified or relocated if your requirements change.

• Sustainability - Modular buildings can be more environmentally friendly than traditional buildings, as they often use less energy and have a smaller carbon footprint. This is a great way to promote your commitment to the environment.

  Modular buildings give you a fast solution to any of your space requirements. For example, if you are looking to provide additional space to your existing facilities, a modular solution means you can start using your space within a matter of weeks.
