The same manufacturer, the same service, the same warranty — and an entirely different equipment list. What carries a club through the winter does not solve a hotel's season, and what a first-division team needs makes no sense in a building of sixty apartments.
Most enquiries we receive start with a list of machines. It almost always turns out that the list is not the problem — the problem is that nobody asked what the gym is supposed to do and for whom. Everything else then changes accordingly: how many machines, which lines, what floor, how much space between them and who maintains them.
A gym for members, a gym for guests and a gym for a team are three different jobs. A club lives on membership renewals. A hotel on the impression made in the first three days. A sports club on how ready a player is in March. A building on nobody calling the property manager. The equipment can be the same — the logic behind it never is.
Equipment that runs sixteen hours a day and purchasing planned years ahead.

See →In a commercial gym a machine never has a quiet day. A treadmill that does three hours a week in an apartment does three before noon here. That is why Life Fitness and Hammer Strength separate home and commercial versions — the same silhouette, different bearings, a different frame, a different warranty.
With us, a gym is rarely bought all at once. Most clubs start with cardio and a basic strength line, then add a piece every year. What matters is that it is a plan, not a string of unrelated purchases — because machines from different years have to fit both the space and the system.
A guest comes for three nights and doesn't know your gym. They don't ask which machine is for what — they either get it straight away, or give up and go to breakfast. So in a hotel the opposite rule to a club applies: fewer machines, but each one understandable without explanation.
The other part of the story is the season. From June to September, equipment on the coast does a year's work, with salt in the air, humidity and air conditioning running non-stop. Installation and materials have to withstand that, and service has to be available when you are fullest — not in November.
Football, handball, basketball, rowing, combat sports — what they have in common is that the weight room is not a service but part of training. Work is done in cycles, it is measured, and all of it has to cope with a squad of twenty in the same session.
Here Hammer Strength is not an extra but the backbone. Iso-Lateral allows the left and right sides to be loaded separately, which after an injury is the difference between a comeback and another absence. The Ground Base line works from a standing position, feet on the floor — the closest thing to what an athlete actually does on the field.
First we measure the space and ask who will train in it. Then we draw the layout — a floor plan in AutoCAD and a 3D view that shows how the gym will really look. Only at the end comes the equipment list, because by then it is the only one that makes sense.
A gym in an office building or residential tower has no till, no trainer and usually nobody supervising it. Its job is to raise the value of the property and never become an item at a co-owners' meeting.
Most complaints in buildings are not about the equipment but about noise. Weights dropped on the wrong floor are heard two storeys down. So here we start with the floor build-up and insulation, and only then choose machines.
Life Fitness and Hammer Strength also make home lines, and that is the part of the range that is ordered simply, by enquiry. Professional, heavy equipment needs the space to be measured, installation and agreement, so a quote is always prepared for it.
In an apartment or a house, three things decide that are rarely checked in time: ceiling height, floor load capacity and power. A treadmill needs its own socket, and a cable station a height that basements often lack. So we would rather ask before we deliver.
Whichever group you belong to, the job follows the same sequence with the same people. We don't pass you on at any step.
We come to the site, measure and look at what is already there. A photograph doesn't show ceiling height or where the services run.
We draw the layout in AutoCAD and prepare a 3D view, so the decision is made over a picture, not a list.
Carrying in, assembly, commissioning and removal of packaging. A machine is handed over when it works, not when it has been delivered.
Reception, trainers and the manager get what they need. Without that, even the best equipment goes unused.
Our own technicians based inland and on the coast, a parts warehouse and a typical response of 24 – 48 hours.
New Life Fitness and Hammer Strength equipment in Croatia is available exclusively from us, with factory warranty and original parts.
Combinations are common — a hotel with a club open to the public, a sports club that rents out its gym, a building with a wellness area. Tell us who will be training and how many of them there are; the rest is our job.
Get in touch and let us arrange a conversation about the space and who trains in it. We put the quote together after that — with no ready-made list that only needs signing.
