Continue reading to discover the importance of gym mirrors.
FITNESS SAFETY
For an optimal workout and to reduce the risk of injury while lifting weights, position yourself in front of the mirrors. This way you can see your entire body and can manage how you are controlling the weights. Mirrors are used in the same way when it comes to stretching. Be aware of your body’s positioning during each pose to make sure it’s aligned properly and reduce the risk of injury.
AESTHETIC DESIGN
Gyms are places that are generally cluttered with bulky exercise equipment, and this can often make the space feel cramped. By adding mirrors, you can create the feeling of more space being available. Adding mirrors is furthermore a great way to reflect natural light throughout the gym. This all adds to the aesthetics of the gym and makes the space feel more comfortable and practical. You could consider adding mirrors with a different, more decorative style, to give your gym an edge in design. There are also a host of technologically advanced options available on the market, including mirrors with built-in LCD screens and exercise equipment with built-in mirrors.

MIRROR PLACEMENT
Mirrors are positioned throughout the gym for different purposes. For example, to effectively reflect natural light, position a mirror opposite a window. A space that is dedicated to various classes or floor exercises, requires a full-length mirror. The area for weights and equipment can have a mirror installed that starts 50cm off the floor. A full-length mirror is not required here as the equipment takes up so much of the floor space.
Consider each area carefully and determine its specific use. Then match the mirrors positioning in a way that will optimize the workout experience for each client. It is very important to ensure that the mirrors are security installed, to prevent any mirrors from falling and potentially causing injury.
