Anytime Fitness is the number 1, h24 fitness franchise in the world, recently the chain that has more than 3600 clubs around the world has chosen Poltek (now 3WIRE) for the installation of the KNX lighting management system as well as the new electrical system and TV and cat,6 network cabling.
In order to control the lighting of the two first fitness centers opened in Milan, wich are Milano Centrale and Milano Sempione, we used KNX-DALI gateways from Ekinex to control around 200 LED lighting fixtures.
The customer requested the possibility to control the lighting centrally thanks to the Touch&See, a small in-wall touch screen, from which it is possible to adjust the light intensity and control the lights groups.
In addition, in some specific areas the possibility of controlling the lighting by means of push buttons was requested, so for example in the yoga and pilates room the course manager can locally adjust the light intensity to create the most suitable atmosphere.
The practicality of use was a fundamental requirement as the fitness centers are open 24/365 and therefore there are different trainers alternate during the day. Thanks to Ekinex products and the simple integration carried out by Poltek, it has been possible to avoid training every single person, who have been able to manage lighting autonomously since the beginning.
