A Lookback At Our Favorite Gym Buildouts from 2022
Posted by Ardent Fitness on Dec 22nd 2022
As we wrap up 2022, we're grateful to have been able to serve so many different facilities looking to upgrade their fitness spaces. From multifamily housing units to large corporate wellness spaces, country clubs and everything in between, here are a few of our favorites:
The Army Navy Country Club
Army Navy Country Club’s fitness center had not been updated in over 20 years. Looking to replace their dated and worn equipment, they enlisted the help of Ardent Fitness. Both Army Navy Country Club and Ardent Fitness approached this as an opportunity to upgrade every piece of cardio equipment and transform their former “strength” room into a functional training room.
“Ardent is by far one of the best equipment companies that I’ve had the chance to work with in my 28 years in the fitness industry.
One quality that I appreciated was how patient they were throughout the process. There was never a time I didn’t think I could not ask the important questions and/or request multiple quotes. I appreciated the fact that they allowed the flexibility of what if scenarios. This was important since I had no idea what the final budget would look like.
I could not have asked for a better partner to create a beautiful space with."— Jay Guillory, Assistant General Manager/Director of Fitness and Wellness, Army Navy Country Club
Charleston Tennis Club
In need of a total refresh of their fitness equipment and gym, the Charleston Tennis Club turned to Ardent Fitness to fully revamp the space. Using a just-right mix of varied strength and cardio fitness equipment, Ardent Fitness was able to offer the Charleston Tennis Club a modern, updated fitness center space with the options they were looking for, maximizing the use of the space and completing the remodel on a fast-track schedule.
"We contacted Ardent Fitness about remodeling our existing gym and really needed help with the vision and layout. We wanted to change it up and Evan was incredibly helpful with the layout and ideas of equipment using multiple brands...Our gym usage has improved drastically since the install of new equipment."
— Missy Tyler, Fitness Director, Charleston Tennis Club
929 Apartments
Ardent Fitness completed an overhaul of 929 Apartments’ 24-hour fitness center, which is part of the Johns Hopkins Medical Campus. Working alongside 929 Apartments, we were able to fully match their vision for the new space, from the overall look and feel to state-of-the-art fitness equipment.
Urban Outfitters Corporate Wellness Space
We supplied Urban Outfitters with new gym equipment for their headquarters in Philadelphia. Designing a company gym for such an architecturally stunning space was a joy, and the results were spectacular. It's inspiring to see companies invest in employee health and happiness.
"It was great! The guys were perfect. They were careful and efficient, very professional, we were super impressed! I can’t wait for employees to see the new treadmills and give feedback!"
— Urban Outfitters
Looking back at the past year and thinking of all of the clients we were able to work with had us reminiscing about our favorite projects of 2021 as well.
Turks and Caicos Home Gym
Last year, we had the pleasure of completing a home gym installation on Turks and Caicos. Faced with logistical challenges (such as how to get fitness equipment and artificial turf delivered to an island in a pandemic) we were able to work side-by-side with the client to give her the workout space she desired.
Errick McAdams, CPT
Errick is a Washington, DC-based personal trainer, who focuses on one-on-one sessions with his clients. Certified and insured by the American Council on Exercise, Errick will design a comprehensive fitness program for each and every client, including training, nutrition coaching, and diet monitoring.
It (my studio) was basically a rock pile. Ardent Fitness did all the equipment and we’ve just been very fortunate. When people start working out things change outside of the gym. They move on and they move up in life and I just really enjoy being part of that process.

Behavioral Health Services
As our client's business grew, we helped them expand into a new space by adding an employee fitness and wellness center as an amenity. The company talked to their employees to see what their fitness goals were, and we proposed equipment to meet these goals, from cardio to free weights. We also helped them balance space, needs and budget to deliver a gym which met all requirements.
