The Ultimate Workout

Working just as hard as your members (or maybe even harder), Big Ass Fans® create air movement to make a person feel up to 10°F (5.6°C) cooler without the clutter, noise and trip hazard of floor fans. While your members work to achieve their weight loss goals, we slim down your utility bills.

Working with your HVAC system, Big Ass Fans silently, gently and evenly distribute conditioned air throughout the space while providing an additional cooling effect with elevated air movement. In winter, slowing your Big Ass Fans gently redirects rising warm air at the ceiling back down to floor level and significantly improves members’ overall comfort. Your heating budget will get a much less strenuous workout, declining by up to 30 percent.

Improving comfort is just the warmup

Comfort in fitness centers is as important as the equipment itself. This includes proper ventilation, control of indoor air quality, diffusion of chloramines and HVAC effectiveness. Air circulation from Big Ass Fans contributes to all of the above elements, and the fans easily interface with your building automation system to further enhance efficiency.

The fan’s airflow ensures that gym-goers stay cool and dry even in the middle of intense workouts, and its direct-drive motor keeps the space quiet and free from any mechanical noise or distraction.

Austin Bouldering Project

Olschwanger explains that climbers use a lot of chalk to keep their grip, and not only do the fans prevent the air from becoming stagnant, but “they help reduce the chalk particles so they’re not standing in the atmosphere.”

Anytime Fitness

Members remain comfortable even during the gym’s busiest hours. The staff maintain the thermostat set point at a steady 75°F (24°C) and often leave the air conditioning on entirely during early morning hours, resulting in a 20 percent savings on power bills.

Pure Barre

“We wanted something sleek that would blend in with the black ceiling tiles, and they look great.” But more important than looks is the comfort and energy savings they create.
