Abstract:

Eco-friendly buildings and construction techniques have taken center stage as a trend that is here to stay. From sustainable home buildings to billion-dollar commercial developments, eco-friendly buildings are becoming a norm; they require fewer natural resources and produce fewer greenhouse emissions and waste. The study is aimed at highlighting on different criteria to be adopted in the provision of a well-designed fitness center capable of promoting safe and standard environment for fitness activity. A qualitative research methodology was used for the study to allow for research triangulation and wide range of data collection. The instruments of data collection used for the study include interviews, visual surveys and observation at the respective case studies selected for the study. The research found out that there is no application of features of eco-friendly building in all the selected cases studied, which resulted in non-marketability of the centers. It was also found that there is no any special or dedicated facility which adequately meets the design requirements of the fitness center in any of the selected case studies. Therefore, the study recommended feasible features to be incorporated in the design and construction of sustainable fitness centers.
