TRILUX Illuminates Just GYM Fitness Clubs

TRILUX Illuminates Just GYM Fitness Clubs Across Poland with 24/7 Lighting Solutions

TRILUX, a leading provider of innovative lighting solutions, has been selected by Just GYM, a prominent Polish fitness club chain, for its unique state-of-the-art lighting. This partnership ensures optimal training conditions, energy efficiency, and a cohesive modern design, enhancing the overall ambience and functionality of the fitness clubs.

24/7 LIGHT FOR POLISH FITNESS CLUB CHAIN

Just GYM Fitness Clubs in Poland, known for their fully automated centres, have partnered with TRILUX to maintain high design, lighting quality, efficiency, and intelligence standards. This collaboration has transformed the fitness clubs into attractively designed, large-scale training environments with a futuristic, modern ambience.

“We aim to deliver maximum quality to our customers in all aspects, from the equipment to the infrastructure. That’s why TRILUX is solely responsible for the lighting in our clubs,” explains Tomasz Joachimiak, Chief Operating Officer and management team member at Just GYM.

One of the key challenges was ensuring that the lighting provided optimal visual conditions for various training areas, while also blending harmoniously with the dynamic and modern interior. TRILUX overcame this by designing the luminaires’ functionality to match each room’s specific characteristics perfectly. The E-Line Next LED with prismatic optics gives the practice rooms a unique character. Other areas were equipped with Siella, Ambiella, and Oleveon Fit luminaires. Overall, a cohesive and functional lighting concept has been developed, which harmonises perfectly with the character of each room and can be flexibly replicated across different branches.

The clubs operate around the clock, so the lights are always on. Even at night, if no customers are training, the lighting remains switched on to indicate that the club is open, albeit at a reduced illuminance level. Maximum efficiency and intelligence were imperative. This presented no challenge for TRILUX luminaires, which are networked with the LiveLink light management system and combined with sensors for presence and daylight detection.

In summary, TRILUX lighting has significantly contributed to the attractiveness and future-proofing of Just GYM fitness studios in three main ways:

  1. Ensuring optimum training conditions throughout the studio with high-quality, tailored lighting solutions.
  2. Guaranteeing consistently low energy costs through maximum efficiency and smart energy management.
  3. Blending high-quality, minimalist luminaire design harmoniously into the modern architecture, creating uniquely attractive fitness and training environments with a high feel-good factor.
