Planning & Implementation of Training Facilities 

A well-designed gymnasium is more than just a covered space with gymnastics equipment. It forms the foundation for safe training. For many years, SPIETH Gymnastics has supported clubs, performance centers, and sports facilities in the planning and implementation of modern training halls. The goal is to meaningfully combine functionality, safety, and the specific requirements of daily gymnastics training. 

Individual Planning Tailored to Usage and Space

No facility is used in the same way. Age structure, performance level, training content, and structural conditions can differ significantly. That is why every facility planning project at SPIETH begins with a structured analysis of actual usage. This includes, among other things: 

• Which sports are practiced in the facility 
• Training goals and relevant equipment groups 
• Room dimensions, ceiling heights, and existing floor structures 
• The interaction between permanently installed and flexibly used training areas 

Based on this, a coherent overall concept is developed: from equipment arrangement to movement and transport routes, as well as safety zones and potential future expansions. 

Integrating Permanently Installed Equipment Effectively 

Fixed equipment defines the character of a training facility. When properly planned, it ensures clear structures, high availability, and efficient training processes. It is not only important which equipment is used, but also how it is positioned within the space and how it can be utilized. SPIETH develops integrated solutions for: 

• Permanently installed gymnastics equipment 
• Foam pits and landing areas 
• Combined training lines for multiple disciplines 

This results in functional facility layouts that reliably support both everyday club training and performance-oriented programs. 

Safety as an Integral Part of Planning 

Safety is not added later in the planning process but is considered from the very beginning. Equipment distances, fall protection, material transitions, and load zones are consistently taken into account. The goal is a training environment that athletes and coaches can rely on at all times—even during dynamic and complex movement sequences. Both current standards and decades of practical experience from training and competition facilities worldwide are incorporated into the planning. 

Experience That Proves Itself in the Details 

Experience from numerous completed projects shapes every phase. From the initial concept to on-site implementation, SPIETH combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of gymnastics processes, methodological development, and everyday life in the facility. The result is training halls designed for long-term use: clearly structured, adaptable, and durable in daily operation. Special attention is given to heavily used areas: here, we focus on easy maintenance, quick repairs, and modular replaceability—always with cost efficiency in mind. Especially in high-load zones, components must be replaceable efficiently without significantly disrupting facility operations. For example, individual sections of foam pits or edge padding can be selectively and easily replaced.
