Goal & Challenge
Basic-Fit wanted to implement their Virtual Fitness Experience as well as digital signs throughout the gym floor in each location. …Since each club has a different layout and floor plan, the complete set up had to fit any physical environment while maintaining a consistent look and feel. It was also important that the system was reliable and included complete standalone functionality, as each fitness club is managed by only one or two staff members. Finally, the management of group lessons had to be simple because of the large number of available time slots and locations.

Solution
First Impression designed a complete solution that consists of an LED video wall, a powerful sound system and a colorful LED lighting set. With this equipment, any room is transformed into an immersive fitness experience. The virtual lessons, including audio and lighting control system scripts (DMX), are all managed and distributed by Scala.…Additional portrait-mode displays, with an average of eight 55-inch displays per club, are strategically placed to maximize visibility for people exercising in the club.
