Peak capacity is healthy
96 members train at peak (12% of 800) against a ceiling of ~63. Utilization 2% — the binding constraint is equipment throughput.
Levers before expansion
Peak demand fits inside capacity — protect it with slot rotation and class scheduling rather than adding capex.
Check the fleet cost behind this plan
Capacity math assumes the planner fleet — verify counts and CAPEX before promising access levels.
Open Equipment Planner →Assumptions
- • Equipment turnover: 3 users/unit/hour
- • Peak floor allowance: 2.5 sqm/person
- • Fleet density: 0.035 units/sqm
- • Peak share: 12% of members
Limitations
- • No class schedule — Group classes consume floor blocks not modeled here.
- • Uniform turnover — Treadmill sessions run longer than dumbbell circuits; blended average used.
Data sources & method
This tool uses FitnessNav benchmark data: equipment useful life, maintenance %, energy consumption, pricing and scenario presets. Every assumption shown in the result references its benchmark metric. Benchmarks are verified over time through industry research — draft values are clearly flagged.
Peak Capacity Calculator — frequently asked questions
How many members can my floor serve at peak?
Capacity is min(machine throughput, occupancy ceiling): units × 3 sessions/hour during peak hours, floored by 2.5 m² of floor space per member present.
My utilization reads 120% — what now?
You are turning members away at peak. Adding units lifts throughput one-for-one until you hit the floor-space ceiling — check the binding constraint shown in the result.
What utilization band is healthy?
40–90%. Below 40% you are over-capitalized on equipment; above 90%, queueing degrades member experience and drives churn.
Do enrolled members all show up at once?
No — only a slice attends simultaneously. The calculator applies your peak-share assumption (default 12%) to enrollment to estimate concurrent demand.
