Staff lounge and office gym layout template — 96 m²

The scene

A 96 m² basement room at a company, turned into a staff lounge. Half is for exercise: cardio machines in a row facing the TV on the wall, and next to them the weights area on rubber flooring. The other half is for winding down: an 8 ft pool table, two gaming stations and a sofa.

When it helps

• Office or facilities staff are making the case and want managers to see the finished room.
• You are getting quotes for equipment and flooring and need quantities and sizes.
• You want to check the clearances between machines and around the pool table.

What’s already laid out

• A cardio area: machines in a row, facing the TV on the same wall.
• A weights area on 4 × 4 m of rubber flooring, with a squat rack and other strength equipment.
• An 8 ft pool table with at least 1.5 m clear along each long side for cueing, and a second games table beside it.
• Gaming stations and a sofa in the lounge area.
• One network run to the gaming stations.
• Plus 11 figures for scale and circulation. If you don’t need them, delete them all in one go.

Making it yours

1. Press “Start from this one”. The template opens in the editor as your own drawing; whatever you change, the original template stays as it was.
2. The flooring is painted in grid squares, so the area can be made bigger or smaller directly.
3. To change equipment models or numbers, drag them in from Components.
4. To check there is cueing room round the pool table, draw a dimension line to the wall.
5. For anything missing, press Components at the bottom: search by name and click to place it. Select what you don’t need and press Delete.
6. When the layout is right, press Download at the top right to save it as an image, then drop it into a deck or send it as it is.

What to settle first

1. Zone the floor first. Wherever the rubber flooring goes is the weights area.
2. Cardio machines go along a wall, where the sockets usually are.
3. The pool table takes the most room: place it first and arrange the rest around it.
4. Put the lounge area nearest the entrance.
