Working with a growing number of housebuilders, motive8 is a market leader in the design, supply, installation, maintenance and management of residential gym and spa facilities. Nick Sadler, Managing Director of motive8, discusses the benefits of onsite fitness facilities in new build developments and how they can provide so much more than just convenience to their occupiers.
“Having a range of on-site amenities is one of the key characteristics that is setting new build developments apart from traditional housing schemes and older housing stock. It’s clear to us at Motive8 that housebuilders are designing developments with the buyer’s lifestyle in mind, and it is becoming more commonplace for developments to offer highly desirable amenities and features that appeal to those in search of their new home.
“It’s encouraging for homebuyers that housebuilders are breaking the boundaries of the typical house or apartment scheme and considering how they can support residents through convenient amenities. motive8’s ability to work with housebuilders to deliver an all-inclusive living experience for buyers is bringing state-of-the-art health and leisure amenities to more new build communities across the country.
“One of the main benefits of new homes is that they can help foster new communities, not just a property for somebody to live in. Having day-to-day shared amenities and facilities on-site is not only convenient but strengthens the bonds of the community by providing areas in which residents can socialise with one another on a regular basis.
“New build developments can offer a range of communal facilities, from lounges and clubrooms to roof gardens and cinemas. In recent years, fitness centres have become by far the most popular onsite facility for homebuyers, many of whom often expect to have a fitness centre within their apartment building. With average monthly gym memberships costing anywhere between £50 and £90, it is definitely appealing for buyers to have access to their own modern, fully-equipped gym included in the price of their property.”
Beyond supplying and installing equipment, what sets Motive8 apart is the way it can continue to fully manage the facility once it is up and running. Professionally trained staff, recruited and solely employed by motive8, help to operate all its centres, as well as providing services such as gym inductions, massages and personal training.
