Brainstorm
I just created ideas of what I wanted to make. Some ideas I changed as you will see in the model and not on the papers.
First Floor
The first floor is the front lobby!
The first area is where the members or non members will see with one door.
In this area the people will see a front desk where they will check in , a bathroom and a employee room.
Also in this area you will see another door to go to the second room which is the training area for adults.
After that room there is another door to go the weight room with a bathroom, training equipment, a pool area and a door to the stairs to go to the second floor.
