Audio Video Intelligence was asked to install a complete control system for a fitness facility, Fit Factory, in Massachusetts. This included audio, video, temperature, fan and security; all automated and controllable in every room of the facility. The goal of this project was to create a healthy environment that entertained as well as encouraged guests to exercise.
The Tech Decision
Audio Video Intelligence is familiar with designing and building systems within the fitness space as this was not the first project we worked together on with this team. Our client owns a chain of luxury gym and health clubs with multiple locations across Massachusetts and is continuing to expand. Our relationship with the client started when they had taken over a space that we had already done prior work on. The client accessed our information from the landlord and this began the first project we worked together in which we designed and installed the entire audio/video system within an existing space.
A satisfied customer is a loyal customer. When our client was opening another facility, and this time building from the ground up, they reached out to Audio Video Intelligence again. Now familiar with their vision and being part of the project from the inception, we could design and customize a complete control system including audio/video, climate control, lighting, digital signage and security system. With our cutting edge solutions, we directly contributed to helping our client reach their goal of enhancing their member’s experience and maintaining their satisfaction. Throughout this process, Audio Video Intelligence has built a great relationship with our client and we look forward to working with them as they expand their company and open more fitness facilities.
The Solution
The goal was to create an exciting and interactive controlled audio video system that was inviting for members. The mission was to be able to entertain and entice, while also providing a healthy work-out environment. An essential element to the space was a 200-inch interactive display that connects to a multi-view application that combines digital signage, live feed, and web browsing. Throughout the facility, we brought technology together with a healthy life style and used technology to aid in fitness goals. This includes a CrossFit application that allows members to compete with members at other gyms, a touch screen display for member services, and digital signage throughout the facility to display class schedules. The team asked Audio Video Intelligence to make the environment welcoming to guests as well as easy for employees to be able to use. Control4 was used to connect every device including audio, video, lighting, temperature, fan control and security.
The Impact
Audio Video Intelligence installed a completely automated solution with Control4 as the platform. Control4 automates multiple music streams, video feeds, lighting, temperature, fan control and security within the facility. The music streams can be chosen across 8 audio zones. Each television in the facility has an independent video feed. In the main lobby, there is an ELO touch screen display for member services. A 200-inch screen with a 4K projector is a centerpiece that allows the facility company branding, live broadcasts and class schedules.
Throughout the facility, there are 24 TV’s, 25 speakers that are in-wall and mounted and 4 digital signage players. An Epson 4k Laser projects onto a 200” screen connected to a Skreens solution that allows for company branding, four video inputs and a web browser.
