A rooftop gym at the Aviva office building, Gdański Business Center, Warsaw
Offices increasingly respond to employees’ needs. Companies are aware of how important employee effectiveness is and how many factors influence it. A well-arranged office can boost creativity or allow a moment of relaxation.
Offices increasingly respond to employees’ needs. Companies are aware of how important employee effectiveness is and how many factors influence it. A well-arranged office can affect an employee’s creativity or allow them a moment of relaxation that boosts their productivity. A well-arranged roof or terrace can become an active place for meetings and activity. That is why our client decided that a rooftop gym was exactly what they were looking for.
Watch the video titled "No nieźle" ("Not bad"), in which we captured the moment of lifting the gym onto the roof with a crane.
A rooftop gym saves space on housing estates. As a result, residents have direct access to the possibility of physical exercise, without having to travel to separate sports facilities or often distant places. Placing the gym on the roof also saves time and transport costs, while providing attractive views of the surroundings. Investing in such a gym can also be beneficial for building owners, as it makes it easier to sell flats and allows empty roofs to be used for profitable purposes.

Are you planning a relaxation and activity zone at your estate? Think about how to use the roofs. A rooftop gym at an office building creates the opportunity to offer your employees the chance to do sport and physical exercise in a safe and comfortable environment. Employers can use such an environment to motivate employees and increase their productivity, as well as to create a health-based work culture. A rooftop gym at an office building can also help save time and money that employees would spend commuting to external sports facilities. A rooftop gym can also be used successfully by hotel guests. This allows guests to enjoy an attractive place and views without having to give up their daily workout. It also makes it much easier for guests to get the most out of their stay at the hotel.
A rooftop gym on a block of flats
A rooftop gym on a block of flats is a wonderful gift for residents. They do not have to leave home and look for a suitable place to exercise, and at the same time they can enjoy relaxing surroundings and beautiful views. Moreover, this environment is ideal for group exercise, which in turn encourages physical activity and brings residents additional health benefits.
Rooftop outdoor gyms increase the appeal of a property for the developer and building owner, especially if it is in the immediate vicinity of other residential buildings. Offering such an amenity has a positive effect on the perceived quality of the property and on the sales results of flats and apartments.

The technical conditions for a rooftop gym
To install a gym on a roof, the following technical aspects must be analysed:
1. Load: The roof load is an important factor to consider. Before starting installation, a structural engineer should be consulted to check whether there is sufficient strength to install the gym together with the foundation feet.
2. Environment: It must be ensured that the gym will be resistant to weather conditions such as moisture, wind, snow and rain.
3. Safety: It must be ensured that the installation of the gym will be safe for those using it, as well as for other objects in the area. All components must be firmly fixed and all connections durable. The equipment should meet the EN 16630 standard for adult exercise equipment. Suitable barriers around the roof edge are essential.
4. Building regulations: Before starting installation, it must be ensured that all required legal regulations have been met.
5. Technical conditions: The technical conditions for installing the gym must be reviewed, including the requirement to observe distances between elements, and distances from chimneys, fire escapes and emergency doors.
