Architectural and Planning Principles of Fitness Centers Organization

The article focuses on the increased interest in the sport among professionals and others engaged in fitness. It is obvious that major international sports events and support by state programs have given impetus to the construction of new sports complexes in Russia. Requirements for the design and construction of sports facilities are changing; attention is paid to the application of environmentally innovative solutions and meeting the requirements of modern consumers. However, in Russia there is no document that meets the modern requirements of designing fitness centers. The authors of the study analyze the international experience in designing fitness facilities. As a result, the developed composition of the functional zones is revealed, with the development of additional related services, the use of the adjacent territory, taking into account the requirements of MGN and compliance with "green" standards. It has been determined that in fitness facilities the main functional zones, additional functional zones, auxiliary, public, commercial and service zones are distinguished. A generalization of various factors made it possible to formulate the basic architectural and planning principles for organizing fitness centers: this is the principle of accessibility, the principle of social targeting, the principle of multifunctionality, the principle of transformation, the principle of ergonomics, the principle of natural integration, the principle of manufacturability and the principle of environmental safety. In the result, the conclusion about the necessity of developing a new typology of fitness centers that meet the needs of the modern consumer is made to meet the principles of sustainable development, the principles of energy efficiency and progressive change in the architecture of cities with new sports facilities. In addition, the advanced principles can be used for drawing up of normative base and to be applied in course and real design.
