Architecture and Fitness Studio Design
Our approach takes inspiration from real people – instructors, front desk greeters, maintenance crews, and most importantly – the people who spend their time and money with you.
With a deep understanding of fitness architecture, we bring valuable design knowledge and cost-saving dimensions to projects of any size, scale, or location.
As part of your team, we provide schematic and design development, 3D floorplans, photorealistic renderings, and a full set of drawings including materials and finishes unique to the brand. We’ll help you explore a variety of location spaces and equipment layouts, provide documents required for tenant improvement, and coordinate communication with all consultants, engineers, and points of contact. By maintaining a close relationship with the general contractor, we’ll keep the project on budget and ensure the plan design is followed. Where applicable, a local Architect may be engaged for permitting and mechanical/engineering/plumbing.
The Process
Fueled by interesting projects and people who take the road less traveled, our job is to reflect their distinctive personalities and lifestyles through design.

“Working with Barbara almost 8 years ago was the best business decision I made. As an independent studio owner, there were many unexpected hurdles but Barbara and her team were there to provide knowledge and inspiration. Eight years later, I still enjoy our pep talks and updates. She is the best in the industry and I am so lucky to have worked with her.”
MARISELLA VILLANO
MARVIL FIT, HAMPTON BAYS, NY
“Barbara remodeled our two cycling studios at Fort Bliss, and her suggestions for improvement were impressive and low cost. She also presented a team building workshop to energize our instructors.”
DOUG BRIGGS
DIRECTOR OF HUMAN PERFORMANCE, U.S. ARMY, FORT BLISS
“Without Barbara and her team, opening the first fitness brand in Lagos would not have been possible. From the moment we met, she became a confidante and trusted resource who provided more support and guidance than I could have ever imagined. There is nothing like Beyond in West Africa, and I’m grateful for BCDG’s architect, Doug Frey, who worked with my general contractor throughout the project. Everything was intentional – from the scent and lighting to the juice bar, luxurious locker rooms, and minimalist design to help people declutter their minds. When we’re ready open our next location, Barbara will be my first call!”
SIMI WILLIAMS
FOUNDER, BEYOND FITNESS
LAGOS, NIGERIA
“To improve the wellbeing of our nation, our vision to open the first indoor cycling studio in Brunei began with one email to Barbara. She organized the entire project and took it to the next level by bringing our instructors to the US for training. The seamless project was an international collaboration, and her team raised the bar in southeast Asia’s fitness industry.”
