Conversely, a smaller workplace gym or sports facility may experience concentrated peaks before work, after work or around scheduled classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Locker capacity, bench space and circulation should therefore be considered around realistic peak occupancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-gym-changing-room-layout\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gym Changing Room Layout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aim should not be to fit the maximum possible number of lockers into the room.
