Questions, Answered Properly

160 square feet is roughly a single-car garage, and it is enough for one to four people at a time if the layout is designed rather than filled. The rack sits against the wall, storage is vertical, and the floor stays clear. That said, if your pad allows it, buy the 40. The logistics cost is nearly identical and you double the floor.

Count the people who would use it in the busiest hour, then look at your pad. The LL-20 trains one to four at a time in 160 square feet. The LL-40 trains four to eight in 320. Because delivery and set up cost about the same for both, the 40 is the better value per square foot. The 20 wins when the pad is tight, the crane access is awkward, or the unit has to move often.

A single LL-40 comfortably serves a population of roughly 40 to 80 people on shift rotation, because they do not all train at once. If your headcount is higher than that, or everyone finishes at the same time, two units on the same pad work better than one larger building.

Yes. We build on high-cube shells, which gives 8 feet 4 inches of finished interior height. That is enough for overhead pressing, pull-ups on a rack-mounted bar and box jumps for most people. It is not enough for a standing barbell press with a very tall lifter on a raised platform, so we keep platforms flush.

Yes, side by side on a shared pad, either as two independent rooms or with an opening cut between them and engineered accordingly. It is the usual answer for a large camp or a multi-school site, and it is still a fraction of the cost of a build.

The four-season build is a full thermal envelope: closed-cell spray foam, a vapour barrier and a thermal break at every fastener, with an HRV and an inverter heat pump sized to the volume. It holds temperature at −30 °C. If you only need three seasons, we drop the envelope and the unit costs considerably less.

The same envelope that keeps heat in keeps it out, and the mini-split is a heat pump, so it cools as well as it heats. The roof is the surface that takes the sun, so it gets the deepest insulation. Fixed glazing is placed to avoid turning the room into a greenhouse.

A 50-amp, 240-volt service. That is the same order of magnitude as a domestic clothes dryer circuit plus a heat pump, and it is well within what a site trailer feed or a modest generator can supply. The panel, outlets, LED lighting and CAT6 and camera pre-wire are all included and ESA inspected.

On a generator, yes, and plenty of worksite units do. Fully off grid on solar is possible but honest arithmetic matters: the heat pump is the load that decides it, so a winter off-grid unit needs a much larger array and battery than most people expect. Tell us the site and we will tell you whether it is realistic.

A heat recovery ventilator runs continuously, exchanging stale air for fresh while keeping most of the heat. That is the piece most container conversions skip, and it is the reason they smell.

On a flatbed, and lifted off with a crane onto a level gravel pad or piers. We do not recommend tilt-load delivery, because it puts the shell under loads it is not designed for. Delivery and site preparation are quoted separately once we know your access.

A level, compacted gravel pad or a set of concrete piers at the four corners, plus a power feed to the unit’s connection point. That is the whole list. No foundation, no excavation, no services trenching beyond the electrical.

A day. The lift itself is under an hour when access is good. The rest is levelling, connecting, commissioning the climate system and handing over. Training the same day is normal.

Room for a flatbed to get within reach of the pad, and clear airspace above it. Overhead power lines, tight gate geometry and soft ground are the three things that turn an easy lift into an expensive one, so send photos early and we will flag problems before they cost money.

Yes, and that is much of the point. It has rated lifting points, forklift pockets and tie-downs. Disconnect the power, lift it onto a truck, and site it again somewhere else. Nothing has to be dismantled and nothing is left behind but the pad.

Often, but only with a structural review of the host building. The unit’s own loads are known and we will give you the numbers your engineer needs. Podium decks and parking levels are usually easier than roofs.

In most cases no, because it is a relocatable structure rather than a building, but it depends on your municipality and how it is set up. Every unit ships with engineer-stamped structural drawings to the Ontario Building Code and an ESA electrical certificate, which is what your authority having jurisdiction will ask for. Check with your AHJ before you order, and we will supply whatever they need to see.

Engineer-stamped structural drawings to the Ontario Building Code, the ESA electrical certificate, the CSC plate details for the shell, equipment cut sheets, and the set up and load information. If your AHJ wants something we have not listed, ask and we will get it stamped.

Generally yes, and the stamped drawings plus the ESA certificate are what makes that conversation short. Insurers treat it as equipment or a relocatable structure rather than a building. Tell your broker it is engineer-certified and inspected, not a modified box.

The door and threshold can be specified for step-free entry with an external ramp or a levelled approach, and the interior layout can hold a clear turning circle if you tell us that up front. Because requirements vary by owner and use, treat accessibility as a design input at quote rather than an afterthought.

Yes. Fabrication is in Ontario and we ship anywhere road access allows. Certification is stamped to the Ontario Building Code by default; for other provinces we arrange the equivalent review for that jurisdiction. Freight is the variable that decides how far makes sense.

Pick one of three build types. Balanced puts a rack, bench, dumbbells, a rower and a bike in one box. Weight-heavy is built around racks and free weights. Cardio-heavy maximises throughput with rowers, bikes and ski ergs plus a kettlebell rack. Every layout is drawn to scale before you order, so you can see exactly what fits.

You can supply your own, and we will lay the interior out around it. Swaps within a build type are straightforward. What we avoid is fully bespoke equipment lists, because that is what turns a product into a construction project and puts the price and the lead time back in the dark.

Yes. Commercial rubber flooring over a structural subfloor, with the platform area specified for deadlifts and cleans. If your programme is drop-heavy, say so at quote and we will add thickness where it matters rather than everywhere.

Yes. A mirrored end wall is part of the Signature finish, and every unit is pre-wired for CAT6 and cameras, so a screen, an access control panel or an access point is a straightforward add. Tell us before fabrication and it is tidy rather than surface-mounted later.

We do not build plumbing into the training unit. It costs floor area, it needs water and drainage that most of these sites do not have, and it turns a relocatable asset into a serviced one. Where a washroom is essential, a second unit or a connection to existing site facilities is the better answer.

It is a steel box that locks. Beyond that, the electrical package includes camera pre-wire and motion-sensor exterior lighting as standard, and everything inside is secured when the door is shut. On unsupervised sites, add access control so you know who went in and when.

Yes. Keypad, fob or card access can be fitted and tied to your existing system where one exists. Most institutional buyers want a record of use, both for accountability and because it is the number that justifies the next unit.

Filters on the HRV and the heat pump, an annual look at the envelope seals and the door hardware, and normal gym equipment servicing. It is closer to maintaining a vehicle than a building. We hand over a schedule at commissioning.

The build, the envelope and the installed systems carry our warranty, and the equipment carries the manufacturer’s. Exact terms come with the quote, in writing, before you commit.

Lock it and leave it. Set the climate system to hold a low temperature rather than shutting it off entirely, and the interior stays dry and the equipment stays sound. If the site is losing power for months, tell us and we will spec accordingly.

Because the shells and the build types are standardised, we quote against a published specification rather than guessing. What moves the number is the shell size, the build type, the finish level, and your site: distance, crane time, pad works and power. Book a call with the location, the headcount and the available power, and you will leave knowing the range.

Because they depend on things we do not control: how far the site is, whether a crane can reach the pad, what the ground is like, and how far the power has to come. Rolling them into a headline number would mean padding it. We would rather show you both lines.

Six to eight weeks. That covers fabrication, fit-out, ESA inspection and scheduling delivery. Setting it up takes a day. We publish the timeline because almost nobody in this category will.

Both are on the table. Most institutional buyers prefer to own, because the unit sits on the books as a movable asset rather than a leasehold improvement. Talk to us about what suits your capital cycle.

Yes. Painted and decalled to your identity as a finish option. Most institutional buyers do, because it is the cheapest piece of visible infrastructure they will ever put their name on.

That is the case this product is built for. Standard units mean a fixed unit price across a multi-site award, one specification to review, and one certification package that repeats. Delivery is scheduled site by site so you are not commissioning eight things in one week.

Yes. The specification, drawings, certifications and lead times are published precisely so they can be pasted into a submission. Send us the document and the deadline.

Tell us where you are and we will arrange the closest thing available, whether that is a completed unit, the fabrication floor mid-build, or a walkthrough of the drawings for your exact configuration. Nobody should sign for one of these off a render.
