Recovery zones for gyms and padel clubs

Peak, not membership

Size the zone on the ninety minutes after the evening bookings end, not on the member list. Two to four minutes in the water plus changeover gives roughly ten to fifteen people per tub per hour, so a busy Casablanca club needs three or four positions, not one.

Court bookings arrive in blocks, which makes club demand spikier than a gym's. We usually recommend one more tub and a smaller sauna than the owner first has in mind.

Water on the floor and the slab underneath

There will be water everywhere. Falls to a channel drain, a non-slip surface that survives chlorine, a towel point that stops people walking wet across the courts.

A 900-litre tub is nearly a tonne before anyone gets in. On a ground slab that is nothing; on a suspended floor it is a structural question we ask before quoting.

Hygiene in shared water

Circulation, cartridge filtration and an ozone or UV stage, a visible cleaning schedule, and a rinse shower at the entry point. Members who rinse first turn a weekly water change into a monthly one.

In short

• 10–15 people per tub per hour at peak — count the squad, not the roster
• Channel drain, falls, non-slip floor that survives chlorine
• Slab checked before quoting: a 900 l tub is nearly a tonne
• Circulation, filtration, ozone or UV, plus a rinse shower at entry
