How hot can a gym be?

Published in Gym Temperature 1 min read

The ideal temperature within a gym varies depending on the activity area, but generally, the hottest it should be is around 80 degrees Fahrenheit in yoga areas.

Gyms typically maintain different temperatures in various zones to optimize comfort and performance for different activities. Here's a breakdown based on the information provided by IFA:

  • Aerobics, Cardio, Weight Training, and Pilates areas: Should be maintained between 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Yoga areas: Can be slightly warmer, with a recommended maximum of 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Pool areas: Should be in the 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit range.

Therefore, while some areas in a gym can reach up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, particularly yoga and pool areas, other zones like the cardio or weight training sections are kept significantly cooler to prevent overheating during intense workouts.
